Having a baby is a joyous time. You should celebrate each child no matter if it is the 1st or 6th. Think about how wonderful it would be to take out pictures and show your kids of their babyshower. How big you were all the people that showed up to support and celebrate. But on the other hand if you did not have a baby shower with all of them they would want to know why. So my answer is that it is very Kosher to have a baby shower with each child. Besides things get outdated fast now a days. With all the recalls and new products they come up with. Also each child is more and more expensive it doesn't get cheaper.

okay, are you asking if its okay to have a baby shower if you are pregnant with your second child? ... obviously this question isn't for you if your second child is two years old and you're not planning on having anymore?
Anyway, if you adopted the first at an older age, and then you got pregnant, then of course you should have a baby shower. you don't have any of the infant stuff that you need and its always fun to have people get together and talk about the new baby and wish you well and everything.
And it also depends on how old the first child is and what sex they are. If the other child is more than a couple years difference and you didn't save anything thinking that you were not going to have anymore, then by all means go for it. If your first child was a boy and everything you have is centered around a boy, then go for it.
Actually, I am all for having a baby shower at any number of babies. I just went to my next door neighbors baby shower and she is on number three. Nobody thought anything weird and no one criticized her. Everyone just loved seeing her and being able to celebrate this new life with her.

I personally don't feel it is EVER rude to have a baby shower when you are expecting. I had a shower with my first. My second was born 3 years later & we did not have a shower but 5 years later when I had my third we had another shower. I think baby showers are appropriate for ANY pregnancy.

NO of course it isn't!!! Each child brings different needs. You will need another car seat, new strollers, new clothes, etc. It is absolutely NOT rude. :) And if you are worried about how the first child feels, why? They can be part of it, help open gifts (maybe get a few of their own). This is a change in their life as well and preparing for it in this way is probably a fantastic idea. Then they can get as excited as the mother.

Personally I think it is rude for anyone to have their own shower, but if someone else is hosting it for you have as many as you have children if people are still wanting to celebrate your pregnancy. What is the difference between having one shower for each of three babies, or three showers for one baby (yes, I've seen it)?

I don't get your question. Are you pregnant again? Truly, a person should only have 1 baby shower unless there has been a major lapse in time, like 15 years. How much can you expect you friends and family to kick in time after time? The people who are very close to you will buy you baby gifts anyway, and a shower is really little more than an elaborate request for gifts. Cut your acquaintances a break and buy your own stroller.

Both should be celebrated. There is no reason for someone not to have another baby shower with there 2nd child.

No, not at all! My husband got fixed while I was pregnant, and so as my daughter grew out of things, we got rid of everything! Well, turns out his didn't take, and I am 12 weeks along. We're having a baby shower for this one, and our first daughter is only 13 months old, but we have NOTHING baby!
