babyshower???

[3420347251440456963_593_5]

I'm pregnant with my 3 child. I'm due in June. I have an 18 year old and a 5 year old about to be 6. I keep getting asked if there will be a baby shower. My mother in law says no because we had one for my soon to be middle child. I don't know what to do. If its a boy I have nothing. Everything I have is girly.

I am in the same boat where I don't want to look tacky having a shower my youngest is four. I decided to do a gender reveal party in hopes of getting some of the things we need help with and the family is in love with the idea. We have had the results sealed for about a month now and the longer they wait the more excited they seem to be!

I Questioned Having A Baby Shower For My SecondD And aA Friend Told Me Every Baby ShouldBe Celebrated!! It Made Me Feel Better And I'm Glad I Did It. I Think It Is A Great Idea To Throw The SHower As A Couple. You Can Do It Exactly Like You Want. It Is Not Tacky To Celebrate Your Baby

I'm having my 2nd daughter and am having a sprinkle shower, since I have all the big items from my first still. I think it's ok to have another baby shower,  I feel if they don't want to come they don't have to :)

I am having my 4th and will be having another shower. This is a time to celebrate this little ones arrival. If people dont want to participate or buy something for the baby then they can choose not to come.

You can have as many as you darn well please. Honestly everybody has an opinion about everything. You have to learn to just do what makes your heart happy. I'm pregnant with my 5th, and my family insists on having one every pregnancy.

Celebrating your child is not tacky. You can throw one yourself, there will obviously be people there because people have been inquiring.
My family celebrates everything. I didn't care one way or another if I had a shower, but my family is  having one, not for me but to celebrate my son. I have most of everything he will need, but i don't mind the love.
If you want one or someone else wants to give you one it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks.

If u dont have a friend to organize it for u at least, then I think it's a lil tacky.  I'm not having one, cuz I don't have a ton of friends to organize it like I did when I had my first son who is 8.  It's been under 10 yrs, but I live in another state and dont have a single piece of baby paraphernalia at all.  A baby shower would've been nice, but I think it a tacky for me to throw it myself.  So instead I decided that I will have a welcome home baby gathering, gifts r welcomed, but not required.  I just feel it's more appropriate in my situation to have that instead.  I just bought the essentials anyway, so I don't feel like I need to have a baby shower even though my friend kept asking me if I'm having one. Just my opinion..

Throw yourself a shower. Who cares what your mother in law says. If you have all of the big stuff ie. crib, stroller, car seat then just do a sprinkle instead of shower. That's what we did with number 5. You can Google sprinkle to get a better understanding but five years is a big gap and you would be appropriate to have have a shower. Good luck and congratulations

I have always said that baby showers after your first is tacky unless there is a 10 year age difference between your children. However now I am on number two ,a boy, and have nothing for him lol. Another shower would be nice lol
