I see no problem in having a shower for each child. My sister-in-law recently had one for her second baby. Having a child is a celebratory event; if you had a shower for the first, I don't see why there shouldn't be one for a second.
Initially, I also thought, "what more could she possibly need?" And then it was pointed out to me that since this baby is being born in a different month than the first one, she doesn't have seasonal clothes from the first that will fit the second. Plus, she can always use things like diapers, Pull-Ups, etc, or gift certificates to baby stores that she can use when the need arises.
I'm not one for making a HUGE deal out of these things, but I think the mom should feel as special as she did the first time. If having a shower accomplishes that, then so be it. I think your wife should have the shower. If she doesn't want gifts, she can simply say so.
