well my aunt got a baby shower for all three of her kids. they were fun! and it always makes the mother to be feel much loved i think. like people say "oh your having a baby" the first time she is pregnant and the second time its not as exciting well the mother might think that cause the first baby is always more exciting, but if she is throwen another baby shower then she feels like she did with the first pregnancy. and maybe she got rid of everything cause she didnt expect to get pregnant again. you can always have people bring things like diapers and wipes, shampoo, baby wash, things that she will really need and cant just get rid of. and you dont have to go all big eaither. just a few balloons and streams that are real cheap to get, go to the dollar store and pick up paper plates and cups and napkins, and forks. and just do something simple like an afternoon with just cake and punch. just close family and friends and keep the guest list down to maybe 15 people at the most. and instead of sending out invites just call the people and tell them to mark their calanders.

I would say no. Most people have only one baby shower, and that is for their first born. Why didn't she keep anything? Their first born isn't that old so it isn't like the stuff was in the way really. People usually give gifts when the baby is born, but I would not throw her another shower.

Thanks, I guess too...with her getting rid of everything I would have taken it as the stuff wasn't appreciated or she expected a babyshower...I am just the type of person that you should not expect anything, a babyshower is alot of hard work and people will probably wonder why she didn't keep what she had. Ultimatly the choice is yours of course, good luck!

Why not? My mom threw me a shower for my 4th child. I view a shower as a chance to get friends and family together to celebrate the new baby. I did register for cloth diapers, but that was only for those who wanted to get something for the baby. I told my mom I cared more about the party than the gifts-seeing people I haven't seen in years was priceless! We had alot of fun.
