A party is great though, because I think a celebration of the new life is definitely appropriate.

The age difference is something my wife was hoping someone would bring up. With the 2nd, our kids will be a little more than 1 1/2 years apart. We still have all of the toys and clothes that are no longer used in anticipation of additional children. What we don't have are clothes for a girl. We don't know for sure but are leaning towards that this one is a girl. Yeah, some of the clothes for our son will work for both genders but not very many. Is it wrong to hope for help with the stuff we could use like clothes, diapers (the 1st kid is obviously not wearing the same size), etc?
I like the idea of a stock the freezer party or something like that. That is one thing we really could have used with the first kid. I'll have to remember that one to use for our friends and family when they have kids.
As a side note, my wife and I are totally against throwing our own shower. That will never happen.
