Does anyone feel like their husband is not ready for baby? This is #2 for us and all I can think about is getting ready for baby and baby actually being here. My husband doesn't really have much to say about it. He was even wondering why we are having a baby shower (this is a girl and we have a boy). I know men are different but I wish he was acting a little more excited. He says he is excited but just ready for it to be here. So I'm trying not to talk about it a whole lot so maybe he won't be sick of hearing about the same thing from me. Haha Anyone else feel the same way?
Re: Husband ready?
For serious, do you even go here?

Personally, I don't care whether you have a second shower or not--your life not mine--but having a baby of a different sex doesn't really require that you purchase all new baby items like having a baby for the first time does. You should be able to re-use most of the items--i.e. car seats, strollers, high chairs, jumpers, toys, carriers, pump, bottles, etc.
Edit: I will also add that I don't think it is a "judgment" reserved exclusively to The Bump. In general, I think most people frown on second showers from an etiquette stand point unless there is some exceptional circumstance like having a decade between babies or a house fire or something.

Regardless, Both my husband and I are basically feeling like your husband is so I don't really have any insight. Having been there done that, I'm not really into all the prep like I was the first time around. It is what it is.

You can check off "You guys are assholes" and "I'm deleting my account" too. Hay-zeus, I almost have BINGO from this post alone.
FWIW @Gmom2010 - second showers never go over well here. Just because you're going from girl to boy doesn't entitle you to have yet another shower or to require people to spend more money on you and your kids. If they want to buy you a gift, SUPER, but being an AW is eye-roll worthy for sure. And because you don't have diapers left from kid #1, other people should be forced to buy them for you? No. It's your kid. Buy your own diapers.
Also, you can't delete your account. Like, ever. You can go ahead and not sign in, or not post, or whatever you want, but it's not possible to delete your account.
Dang it Beevs, I was about to call Bingo! haha
It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
On topic...I got nuthin. I'm an asshole too.
