Baby Shower for 2nd Pregnancy
This is a plain and simple question for the TFP members:
Should a woman have a baby shower for every pregnancy or just for their first?
My wife is pregnant with our 2nd child. She feels as though women should get a shower for every child because it isn't about the gifts, but to celebrate the coming of a new life. Her mother thinks that it should only be for the first child (mainly because she only got one baby shower for two kids). She also feels that it comes across as simply begging for more gifts. I'm siding more with my wife. I would like to see our family and friends get together for a celebration, gifts or not. I would like to see what the members think.
