Baby shower #2? Do you think if you have a child almost 6 years after the1st

Well would not that child when she or he got older feel rather bad that their older sibling got a baby shower and not her or him. It is not the child's fault, that the parent had a lot of cats. Best thing is to have one of your friends have the baby shower at her place or you can hire a hall or use the church basement. Then there will be no trouble with the cats. Besides do you really think the second child will be content with seconds and they do need things of their own.
By all means, have the baby shower. But maybe not at your sister's house.

I never had a baby shower for either of my 2 children and don't think I will have one for the third. My first I was a single mom and I didn't feel comfortable with the idea. People still gave me stuff knowing I was embarrassed and it actually made it worse because I felt like they were giving me hand outs. My second one was because my cousin had just miscarried at 6 months and our babies were due close together, out of respect for her loss, I did not want to rub it in her face and make her feel bad. I am married with my second and third. I never really enjoyed going to baby showers either so for me it makes no difference, although I would just rather not have people make a fuss over me. That's why my husband and I never got married, we just had a civil union in a pair of jeans and sneakers. I don't like being the center of attention, I am not shy by any means I just don't like the attention.

I like going to showers. Baby showers as well as bridal showers. Too bad you felt uncomfortable around all of those cats.
A lot of people do keep many of them as house pets. I don't think there is any thing wrong with another shower at this time. Go ahead and have fun!

I have two children, and have yet to have a baby shower. My sister is having her first child, and we are going to have a baby shower after the baby is born (my family believes its bad luck to buy things for the baby before the baby gets here) I don't know whether a person should get a baby shower for each child, or just the first. I have seen both happen. I know it would get tiresome for those who seem to have a baby every year lol. I guess since its a celebration of life, and the newness of it wears off after the first time, there should only be a shower for the first child.

I didn't have a baby shower with either one of my kids. Well, I kind of had one with my son. A few ladies that my mom worked with chipped in an d got me a few things and invited me up to the office for lunch. Nothing really special though.

I think that since it has been almost 6 years since your first shower there is no problem having a second one. What I think most people look down on it people who have several kids in a row and have a shower each time just to avoid buying anything. Plus this baby is a boy, so a lot of things that you may have saved will not work for a boy instead of a girl.

A woman should always feel entitled to wear white at their wedding. And a mother should always feel entitled to have a baby shower. Babies are little miracles and should be joyously celebrated. It isn't about getting stuff for the baby, it is about being joyful about the baby.

I was under the impression that no matter if you had 10 babies you should be able to have showers for them all. This baby is just as special as the first one and so you should have another shower and maybe make up for the disaster one you had..Hope you do and that it is tons better then the first and make sure no animals allowed while the party is going on..

I believe traditionally only the first baby is to get a shower, because you're supposed to save everything, such as the crib and swing and all that for subsequent children.

Although very few people follow traditions anymore.

I had an impromtu baby shower for my first child. It was at a restaurant with about 4 friends. I was a single mom then, and knew very few people.

When I was expecting my twins I had another baby shower, this one was obviously slightly larger and included my husband's female relatives.

That was my last baby shower. Even though I didn't save any of the twins furniture or clothing, I didn't bother to have a shower for the last 2 kids. I just felt it would be a bit tacky. If someone had offered to throw one for me, I probably wouldn't have said no, because I did need some things, but my baby showers were never very big, just a few friends and close relatives. Nothing like going and registering the shower.
