3rd baby

I have a 3 year old girl and an 18 month old boy. We were going to wait, probably be done with kids, but we were going to make that decision when our son turned 2. I had an IUD and got pregnant with this baby due August 4th. I don't need much for this baby as we are having another boy. Would I be selfish or would it be wrong to have a diapers and beer party? I feel like this baby should be celebrated, just like my other 2, I just don't need clothes, blankets, etc. What do you all think?

Thank you fit ask the positive feedback! I'm just waiting for the hubby to get home to discuss it with him. All babies should be celebrated! My very first baby was a stillborn at 28 weeks. We didn't get to have a celebration for her. She does live on in my children now though. That's how we celebrate her! ♥

I'm on baby #4 and I also got pregnant with an iud in we are doing a baby shower but it's only because my last boy was born 3years ago and since I had the iud I want planning to have any more. However I do like the idea of the meet and greet and just tell people all u need is diaper and wipes all babies should be celebrated they are a gift from God.

I think it's perfectly done. We did diaper parties for my sisters second and third boys...

Lol! I usually have help typing! The kids want to help too!
We did have a lot of visitors, some unannounced. Grr! I think we'll do the meet and greet. I like the sound of it more and more.

We did the meet n greet for my first because we moved out of state and in was high risk so the doctor wouldn't let me drive back for a baby shower(so baby #1 ddidn't even get a shower) once I was cleared we drove Bach (8+ hour trip) to have him Baptis and then have everyone come over and meet him!

(This would also cut down on people dropping by the first month after baby was born and still being hormonal)

Every baby deserves to be celebrated. It's a great idea to dona diaper /wipe party!

You can don't before baby is here or after and do it as a meet n greet / diaper party!

That will be most likely what we will do this time around!

We are on baby #2
