I have a 15 month old daughter & am due in 3 wks w/baby #2 is it normal not to get a baby shower for baby #2?

I think one baby shower is proper. Two or more and you're getting greedy, regardless of the sex. Go on Craigslist and trade your girl clothes for boy clothes. I know a girl that did that and she got some great items.

I have a 14 month old and am due on May 9th. We are having my shower on April 13. It is another girl, but one of my friends is throwing the shower. It is going to be about half the size as the first one, only close friends and family. My friend insisted on throwing it for me, so sure, I will let her. I feel you though, with my first child I was really young and no money. All my friends seemed to diappear when I was pregnant...I was 21 and no other 21 year olds were trying to worry about babies, they wanted to party. I thought my mother or boyfiends mother would throw me a shower. Nope, no one offered. I felt hurt and upset. They knew not only would a shower help me out with things that I needed, but it would really lift my spirits. No one ever did though. Maybe you should be forward a little and ask your mother if she thinks you should have another shower. That would be the ultimate hint, ya know.

I am actually a mother of two and I had my children thirteen months apart. So just a little closer than yours. My first was a boy and my second was a girl. I did not have a shower for the second one, and I was ok with it. Trust me...when people come to visit you in the hospital or when they come to see the baby for the first time, most of them will show up with a gift in hand. It won't be that big of a deal, and you will still have a few presents to open.

I had a baby shower for my second baby and he was the same sex as the first. It was given by the ladies of my church. They were just as excited for our second child as our first.

It is certainly normal to have a baby shower for each child.

Also, there are many many consumables you need that are wonderful to receive regardless of the sex of the baby.

My sons are 16 months apart, we didn't need big stuff, but they were also born in different seasons. Many clothing items were the wrong size and season.

We didn't know the sex of my second baby until he was born. The ladies in my church decided to wait until after he arrived to throw the shower so they could be sex appropriate gifts.

It was sooo much fun! I brought my son (he was about 4 weeks when they threw the shower) and it was really a wonderful time!

I thought you only had a baby shower for the first one but there is no rule written in stone. Just drop a few hints like "hmm, I got so much great stuff for my first shower for (daughter's name) it would be great to have another one for (son's name) I don't have any boys stuff"..and see what happens. Won't hurt to try! :)

Normally you just have on shower, where you are supposed to get all of the big stuff. Maybe your family will bring you clothes after the baby comes and people visit you...:)

it is perfectly normal not to get another baby shower. just put the boy in pink, bring him to see family, and when they say something tell them you don't have boy clothes. Or go shopping. It would be rude to ask for a shower. Maybe you can throw him a 'welcome baby' party after the birth.

Traditionally you do not get a baby shower with the second (or more) babies. I do know a lot of times people still have them. My best friend had one with all her kids (3 in 3 years).

my son was not premature but hes always been very small he is 19 months old and weighs 21 pounds. even though he was small he did everything on time or early. My step daughter on the other hand was 4 weeks early and was small until she was about 4 she grew and now is average height. don't worry about tummy time because not all babys will like it. as long as she can support herself somewhat in my opinion she is ok.

I have heard of this happening. But you would think that since the baby is of a different sex they would have one for you. Have you tried throwing out little hints that you would like to have one and see if the pick up on it? Goodluck
