If the baby was a girl, Then maybe I could see a second shower. But usually it is one shower total. Other then that it seems greedy. UNLESS it has been YEARS btwn babies

I would suggest having a `pampers` shower. This way everyone bring diapers - always a needed item, and they can be exchanged at Walmart for differnt sizes if you get one of to many of the same stages. I think having another traditional baby shower so soon might be a bit much.

Sorry, but I wouldn`t go to a 2nd baby shower in a year and a half, even if it was a diaper shower or I was told I didn`t have to bring a gift. I`ve never even heard of anyone doing that. What you could do is have a `meet the baby` party and your mom could throw that. People will most likely bring gifts and it`s not a traditional baby shower. Personally I would find that more acceptable :)

if youre that concerned what ppl will think or whatever, you can just have mom tell them that you basically already have everything you need from the first baby, so if they wanted to give any gifts they could always do gift certificates or maybe they dont need to bring a gift at all. also keep in mind ultrasounds have been wrong about what sex the baby is. its not a dna test its a tech looking at the anatomy. they could make a mistake. i wouldnt even worry too much. most ppl understand that new babies need new things, while maybe you already have a crib, you will probably need a second high chair, you probably will still need more bottles, more diapers, things like that. i dont think its horrible to have another baby shower. you can always mention that you already have some of the larger items from the first.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
