multiple baby showers

I was just wondering what other people thought about having baby showers for your second, third, even fourth baby. I am only on my first so am obviously having one but my husbands family seems to have them after their first baby, I didn`t think this was a common practice.

rosiethemet - 70 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My family and friends have baby showers for all pregnancies. It's a celebration of a new life joining our beautiful world, and circle of life. It's as if we're wishing that child an eternal life of happiness, and we are all there to join the mother in such a wonderful journey. For each child brings a new experience. I don't think that there is anything wrong with a baby shower for baby #3, 6, 9 or 12. =P can't wait for my baby shower! I will help plan it because my mother doesn't know all of my sorority sisters, other college friends taht I wouldn't want to be left out. Besides, I scrapbook everythingggg!!! and I already have ideas for the theme =P some ppl might think it's wrong to help plan your own shower, but to each it's own...

SRHMKP - 71 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I HAD 1 WITH MY 1ST ONLY BECAUSE FAMILY PLANNED IT AND DIDNT HAVE 1 WITH THE 2ND BUT NOW ON MY 3RD SOME FRIENDS R PLANNING 1.I WOULDNT EVER PLAN 1 MYSELF BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO OBLIGATE PEOPLE TO BUY US ANYTHING. IF FAMILY OR FRIENDS PLAN IT THEN IM FINE WITH IT CAUSE THEY ALL TALKED ABOUT IT 1ST.

HollieNJax - 71 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I didn't expect to have one with my second just because I didn't think you did but my family and husband's family and my friends didn't think anything about it. I guess it was just a thought I had and I don't know why. Everyone I know seems to think it's perfectly normal and now I do too. I'm on #3 and this will be my third shower on Sunday and some other girlfriends are talking about another one. And all of these were surprise except one that I knew about but didn't ask for. I'm very blessed and thankful for my family and friends!!!

vikki - 71 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think it's fine. Having said that I haven't even had one!:-( I wish I did. With subsequent children it is nice to have something new and not just the hand-me-downs from the previous children. NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH HAND-ME-DOWNS I must stress. Thank goodness for them. But it is nice. Also, you don't know whether you're going to have the same sex child. I think a baby shower is mostly about the excitement of a baby coming into the world and not really about the pressie part of it. Well that is what it would mean to me. I don't think that there should be less excitement over a baby just because it's your 2nd,3rd,4th, 10th!

Brandi J. - 71 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It wasn't something that was acceptable years ago, and some ppl still don't think it should be accepted. However, I think that it is fine. I gave my sister in law a shower when she was expecting baby #5. She had all the clothing and accessories, so I gave her a diaper, wipe and food shower. Everyone needs diapers and wipes w/ each baby and it also gave her some meals that she could defrost after the baby when she didn't feel like cooking.

Baby3OnWay - 72 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I would expect one for the first child and thats about it UNLESS your children are years apart. Other then that what my family does it the first is a huge shower with clothing and baby gear etc... after that its what they call a diaper shower where everyone stocks you up on diapers and gift certificates.

agonzales - 72 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I see nothing wrong with celebrating each baby but I guess its up to the person. I had a baby shower for my last baby which she is 2 1/2 years now. I was thinking about making one with this baby too but wasnt sure yet. Just the other day my sil called and ask if she can make one for me and that made me really happy.

Its-Chelle - 72 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i have 4 kids, had a shower for them all..wasnt my idea, it was from family or friends who wanted to have one for me each time, and it was great, cause not only do you get to celebrate with them, but get stuff you dont have..anything helps, even if you have stuff already..

shai-zoe - 72 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) most people do a baby shower for every baby dont matter if its baby#1 or 5 its a nice way to help the parents to be and a nice way to celebrate the baby..but then again some people celebrate it after the baby is born just becuase they worry about the pregnancy....
