1. Donāt worry about what other people think or say! You do you! Iām reading Let Them and it is very important that we donāt give up our power worrying about others, or things we canāt control. You can to be happy as youāre expecting your second baby! A baby shower, doesnāt have to be just for the gifts but in reality it is helpful for your friends and family to help you get some things you need. And with 8 years difference between your children youāre going to need a lot.
I had my second last year, we were overseas so could only do a registry but I'd say have the shower!
Have a shower. Weāre expecting a boy in May. We have an almost 7 year old and an almost 8 year old bonus daughter. We had nothing. We kept the registry simple and certainly didnāt expect a lot, but celebrating with everyone was so great as well.
Itās your call. Me, no Iām not going to keep having showers with each child because by the second or third child you most likely already have everything. If folks want to swing by and bring me diapers and wipes, cool. But Iām not requesting gifts or throwing a shower. I have been to a baby shower where it was the 5th child. I brought a box of wipes. Thatās it. Because you donāt need new items with each child. And if friend wants new shit, she can buy it herself (in my opinion)
I did a baby shower for every baby! I have 4 (currently pregnant) they are 11 boy, 8 girl (in May) and 2 girl. I guess because of how spaced out I had them and the new baby being a boy lol I had to š¤£ Now, since this is my last Iām going to do a small one.
I say have the baby shower iām in a similar situation but my 8 year old is a girl and my baby (due in May) is a boy so i have to have a baby shower. but do what you feel, your family and friends will be there regardless.
I did a gender reveal / sprinkle for my second but that was a 4 year difference. I just had my 3rd and itās a 7 year difference and I did a baby shower .
