Shower For Second Baby

I was wondering if it was proper to have a babyshower for your second child. I don`t want it took look like I am asking for gifts. Alot of things have chnaged in the past three years as far as the quility of baby stuff. We could use alot. My Friends are willing to throw me one. I just don`t want it to be tacky.

It`s not tacky especially if you know your baby is a different sex. What makes it even more OK is that your friends are actully offering to do it. They wouldn`t bring it up if they did think it was tacky.

Although I don`t personally see anything wrong with having a second shower, i recently overheard 2 women in line at the grocery store discussing one`s niece who was having her 2nd shower very shortly. They thought it was tacky and greedy. But i toltally agree that if it is a different sex or other circumstances where you are in need of everything, it is perfectly fine. Your friends are offering to throw the shower for you, enjoy it and allow yourself to relax, knowing that any gift you may receive is a bonus for having the oportunity to enjoy an afternoon with so many of those who love you.
