Q: Is it appropriate to have a second baby shower, (for the next baby of course)?

I'm having my first, but my friend at church is due in may and having her 2nd. Its a girl and her first was a boy. I keep hearing you only have one shower, but then I'll read some women saying every baby deserves to be showered! I am not super close to her but would like to help plan a small shower if she's not doing one. I know her mom and sis pretty well, is it weird to ask them about it? how would you approach it?

Thanks ladies! So do you think it'd be okay for me to approach her mom or sis and ask if they are planning something, or will I make them feel bad if they aren't...?

I had two baby showers.. =) My first was a boy and second was a girl. I am having a girl again now but with a 4 year gap. The only reason I am not having a shower is bc I moved to Ca and all my family and friend are in Fl.. When I go back home to Fl in the summer they are throwing me one =)

Some in my big fat Italian family believe you should have one for each...and then some dont. I think the ones that dont..just dont wanna fork out the mullah. :) EVERY BABY IS SPECIAL..SO EVERY BABY SHOULD GET THEIR SHINNING MOMENT.

I say every baby should get a shower! I've never heard of only one shower for the first baby honestly. Everyone i know with more than one has had more than one shower unless they have the same gender really close together. New baby, new gifts! Every child should be celebrated in my opinion.
