An ex co-worker had all of this in 1 year. 1 year!
weddings & baby showers...it never stops! I've also started getting invitations to 2nd child baby showers and 1st birthday parties.
Yep, people are having it for each kid.
You decided to have another kid, pay for the crap yourself. :lol:
I think if you're having one after another, rapid fire, 2 to 3 years apart - yeah, one shower.
However, if you have a 4 to 5 year old, and your second baby comes, and it's a completely different gender than the first...you should get at least a small shower.
And even if it's not a "shower" per se, every baby deserves to be celebrated because every new life is a gift. That's why people bring presents when they come to meet the baby. It's their way of celebrating. I don't have a problem with that - I LOVE buying baby stuff (it's so darn cute!) and I love my friends' and family's babies having something special that I picked out for them. Little Dorothy came over to my house a few weeks ago with the outfit that I bought her on - I loved seeing it on her!
I need to take a picture of her in the purple one. That is such a great color on her. I may look for a shirt in that color after seeing it on her.
I wanted you to see it on her, plus she is such a chunk that she is starting to get ahead of the clothing sizes. At her 4 month check up she was 16 lbs.
Loopy is getting a second baby shower...but we're not inviting random strangers and putting flyers on telephone poles in hopes of getting her free stuff...
it'll just be us and her inlaws!
No, that's what it should be. I mean by shower - inviting everyone.
I expect everyone from CW to attend....or send diaper coups! LOL
A place to debate everything and anything!
