Maybe the word shower is wrong for the celebration of a second child. "Shower" denotes gift giving. Celebrating a birth, sans presents, can and should happen. If the people hosting/the mother to be aren't expecting presents, there shouldn't be any hurt feelings. At the very least, it gives people a chance to get together and have a fun time. We need more of that in the world.
