Baby shower

Needs some thoughts on this.
I have a 2 1/2 year old BOY and I just found out today I'm having a GIRL!! I'm wondering about having a second baby shower. I know some people think its a way to be greedy and you shouldn't do it if your children are less than 3 years apart. For the baby shower we had with my 1st pregnancy it was small in general, my husbands family weren't there because they are from England but will actually all be here by the end of April for good. So if I was to have one for this baby it would be so his family could be there, I would maybe receive some girls clothing or just diapers and wipes.. And I wouldn't ask for anything large as we already have it. Would you think that's okay??

Re: Baby shower
I personally find second showers, regardless of the older child's age and gender, to be extremely gift-grabby.
However, if it's something that's common in your circle and if someone offers to host a second shower for you, you can accept it.&nbs
A shower really has nothing to do with the sex of your children, or the number of children you have. It's a gift. If someone offers you a shower, awesome. Feel free to accept.
My advice is if someone does offer you a shower, keep it small,
It's completely up to you! I know what it's like to have family far away and it's hard when they are unable to attend things like this. Perhaps you should invite both of your families and a few of your closest friends? Since his fam

I've heard of baby "sprinkles" for a second child, but usually that is when the age gap between the babies is bigger than the gap between your children. And usually it's for things like diapers, and gender specific clothing, if baby is a differen
Yeah I understand its for first time moms, hence why I said I would do a mock one where its just like one. My husbands family are fr
This is my 3rd baby and will be my 2nd shower. It is normal in my family. We have a huge family with lots of cousins and everyone has more than one kid. Everyone had more than one shower. We are just close knit like that .

If someone offers to throw one for you then you can decide then.
Its rude, gift-grabby and tacky to throw one for yourself. Please don't do it.

I wouldn't expect anyone who came to my first one come again. I had more of my family and a few friends.. It wasn't anything big anyways. I'm not repeating myself anymore though..
