Re: leave me alone. post deleted.

  • Hi Everyone,

    I just had a baby boy in February and I'm having another one (girl) this December (c-section is 12/26). My mom wants to have a baby sprinkle to celebrate since the second child will be a girl and as they are ten months apart, I'll need alot of duplicate items for the additional nursery. We are having trouble coming up with a nice saying or poem for the "Baby Sprinkle" invitation - we want to include the fact that my second child will be an irish twin if possible. Can anyone help? Hopefully there is someone more creative than we are out there :o)

    Sorry not that creative.  But I see this you your first post... so welcome and congrats!

  • Yikes. That's all I have to say.
  • What exactly do you need duplicates of? LO 1 should be out of any baby contraption aside from the crib and a high chair. No more swing, bouncy, exersaucser, etc., by the time LO2 would need them.

    Otherwise you just need diapers and some clothes. amiright?

    I have a feeling the arguement might be that those things blue and she's having a girl.

    Anyways, I thought a sprinkle was for things like clothes not furniture and big items? I might be confused though.

  • This reminded me of the thread last week/earlier this week asking how soon PP can you start BC.

    Sorry OP, but nope. Maybe ask your mom to put the money she was planning to spend on the shower towards stuff for the new baby.

    Ugh I can't.

    I would politely decline the shower, quietly make a registry of things I needed, mostly for myself or in case a close family member asked, and be prepared to go shopping. Having two baby showers in a year is gift grabby and many people, even if they don't say so, will find this rude and tacky.

    It's not a shower it's a "sprinkle" for aunts and cousins only. Maybe 15 people tops. My aunts and cousins are the ones that actually insisted my mom do a "sprinkle"

    Yes sprinkles are for clothes and small stuff, it's a small luncheon at my moms house for 15 aunts and cousins that's it.

    K.. I am still curious about the duplicate nursery items that twolittledogs asked about. What duplicate items do you need?

    This Irish Catholic girl is not sure how she feels about the term "irish twin" . . .

    Me too. And I'm wondering how you even have babies 10 months apart. I mean, I know how you do, but isn't there that 6 week wait after you give birth?
    I waited exactly 6 weeks. Who knew it would happen on the first try! And it was an accident that is welcome. I don't like all the harsh comments I get and judgements and misconceptions for having kids so close
    Judgements and misconceptions? How about the fact your C/S scar was not even completely healed before you got pregnant again. Dude, that is just dangerous.

    It's not a shower it's a sprinkle at her house for 15 aunts and cousins, not an elaborate party. Where I come from, sprinkles are common when you have a second baby of the opposite sex for clothes and such
  • I'm sorry I posted on here. You people need to research the meaning of sprinkle as opposed to shower. I'm tired of justifying myself and being judged and btw I'm Irish and I do not find the term offensive.

    My DS and DD are 15 months apart. Zero chance I would have a second shower. My DD used a blue bouncer, bumbo etc. (gasp).

    I would absolutely decline a second shower, or even a tinkle if that's what you want to call it. It is super tacky.

    And where are u from? Here in the nj NYC area everyone and their mother has a sprinkle for a second child of the opposite sex. How dare u be so judgmental. I wasn't asking what u thought of my moms idea of having a small party for aunts and cousins only, I was asking for ideas on wording and if u can't say anything nice don't say it at all.

    Congrats on #2. I get wanting to celebrate every baby. But nursery duplicates? That sounds like you're expecting your guests to furnish your second baby's room, and those are big ticket items. That's not just tacky, it's plain rude to expect that. Why not have a welcome party shortly after baby arrives? Then people that want to get a little something won't have to buy shower gifts twice in a year, and it's less gift-grabby overall.

    No all I'm asking for is a second changing table that my aunt with no kids insists on spoiling me with and my mom and mother in law are buying my crib set that's convertible. All else is just clothes

    Im from NJ/NY area and i am not having a sprinkle. Before i found out the sex, i absolutely told ppl no shower or sprinkle. Just tacky. We had a reveal with no gifts. Im re-using everything. Yes the babies are the same sex but I said no shower before that. I planned to re-use everything and buy/borrow some pink stuff. Obviously it's your life and I rarely say anything argumentative on here but you did drag the NJ/NY thing in here. We arent all tacky.

    I can't reuse anything everything I have my son will continue to use a while or is 100% masculine

    I live in NJ and my friend had a sprinkle. Wanna know what happened? Everyone talked behind her back about how tacky it was. So it's not regional. Maybe your family does it...

    Why would you need two changing tables? Odds of you changing both children at the same time are pretty slim. And if this is already being purchased along with the crib set, then you shouldn't really need a shower/sprinkle. If it were me, I would do a "meet the baby" get together after LO is born and IF people want to bring you gifts, they will. 
  • Congrats! Sounds like your family is super excited and thrilled for ur expanding family. Maybe dont do invites for a small lunch-in and just keep it simple ; )
  • What I don't understand is why you have to have a "sprinkle", if people want to get you things great for you and them, but why a party? This just seems tacky as it will make anyone else invited feel obligated to bring something

    Why on earth would you need a second changing table? Can you not use the same one? Or a bed or the couch?

    Holy judgemental! I'm not using a couch! It's something my aunt wants to get because my sons is attached to his furniture And she asked if I could pick one for her to buy me. U want to know more details or is that ok???? I'm sorry your highness I will include my life story in my next forum thread if I don't delete.
