I think the shower would not depend on the # of kids you have, if you need stuff for your little peanut and people want to have one for you then that is OK. I love the idea of a diaper party though, that is cute. I guess in the end it has to be what you are comfortable with. I still can't get over #7! That must be fun. I am still trying for #1 and will be 32 when i deliver! Kudos to you :) Well, best of luck in whatever you decide!!
That's the problem also I agree with all of you, and still undecided. She has already told my oldest sister that lives in mexico to get ready to come down for it. Like most of you my youngest is 5 so of course I have no baby stuff either. I guess I'll give a little more though
i am in agreement with aferny....this will be my 3rd baby, but there has been quite a lapse between ages!! my youngest will be 5 and we did not expect to have another baby, so we got rid of EVERYTHING, except their first outfits, etc. a baby shower would be very helpful for our situation, but i do understand the feeling of not wanting to have one!! :) and as imcrt put it, more for you!! :) good luck and best wishes!!
I dont want one either. This is my 3rd and my other kids are 11 and 8, so its been awhile, but I still dont want one. I think you should just tell your sister that you would appreciate it if she would respect your wishes... Good Luck!
Well typically baby showers should only be given for 1st time mommy's. However there are sometimes exceptions if there has been a lapse of time inbetween pregnancys and you know longer have everything you need for your little peanut. Either way if she wants to throw a baby shower let her, more for you right:).
I'm not really sure on this one and my friends/family are kind of split on the issue. Half think all babies should be celebrated and that you should be given a shower for every one. The other half usually does a diaper shower kind of thing for anything after the first baby on the assumption that all of the gear was bought for the first baby.
From my perspective, though this is our third, a shower would be helpful as our youngest is now 6 and we have NOTHING left baby wise. However, we're planning for having to buy everything ourselves just in case we don't have a shower. Either way, I plan on having our family/close friends over for a celebration of some sort most likely shortly after the baby is born.
