this is my third baby

edited March 2011 in Baby showers
My other two are 21 months apart. This baby will be about 25 months. ..would it be rude to have another baby shower? I know my mil wants to throw one, especially if this is finally a boy, just curious how others may percieve it.

  • I didnt have 1 for my first 2 which r boys but im going to this time for my girl
  • Im having my first baby shower in april but its gonna be my forth child and first girl. I think if you do have another baby shower you shouldnt register for big items unless it is finally your boy.
  • This is my 3rd baby... I have two boys that are 6 and 4... I had a baby shower with my 6 yr old... I hope this 1 is a girl... and ill be having a baby shower also...
  • My girls will be 16 months apart and we had one for our first and we are doing the same for this little girl. Why celebrate one and not the other? We never registered for anything and we got all the big things for our girls, so the only things we need is clothes/diapers/wipes/etc small stuff. Our first daughter was born in january so all of her clothes were wintery and warm and heavy, this little girl is due in june so it will be warm out. Im not dressing her in sweaters just because people think I need to use our first daughters things. That would be cruel and ridiculous. So I say go for it no matter what gender!! Its not fair to celebrate one baby and not the next. :) congrats!

    @bLessdWiT3AnGeLs I wasn't meaning anything bad by what I said at all. I just said im having another one, nothing wrong with you not having one hun. I just feel like I want to celebrate both of my girls as this will be our last. No harm intended by my post hun. Me and my husband have tons of support for it, so I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Like I said we would never ask for big things, as we already have all of that just a small celebration and people that ask us what we need we just say diapers and clothes. :)
  • I have a 6 yr old girl and boy almost 5... tey are 15 months apart. I had a shower with girl not with my son. But I wish we had one with this one. Itll be more than 5 yrs since the last baby. But... oh well
  • @bLessdWiT3AnGeLs im so sorry hun, I didn't mean for it to hurt yours or anyones feelings! :(
  • I'm having my third boy & NEED a shower despite what people think. All my boys are/will be born in the same season. We don't need the big pricey things. However, most of our clothes, crib sheets & blankets are almost rags after being used & washed over the last 6 years. I have no bottles, pacies, or teething toys. My 2nd boy & the one in utero will be 4 years a part. Most of my stuff is 6 years old from my first & a lot were hand-me-downs to begin with. Nothing lasts forever & things just WEAR out after years of use.

    My sister is throwing me a "restocking shower" for everyday baby needs. I don't think its rude at all. What's more rude are friends & family expecting your baby to wear rags or off season clothing & use old broken or worn out (unsafe) items, just because u have more than one kid.

    If your baby stuff is in good condition & clothing sizes/seasons line up, but you still want to celebrate...just have a small casual lunch with close friends & family in honor of your baby, instead of a "shower".
