Maybe instead of a baby shower you can have a baby "sprinkle" you know just a little smaller since yuo wont need quite as much. Congrats!

Traditionally, baby showers were given for the first baby, and people would simply give gifts for babies after that, without the bash. I think if the babies are born several years apart, another shower is not deemed inappropriate.
Another consideration is who is throwing shower? Maybe you had the big shower the first time around with family and friends, but you could do something smaller this time, if a coworker is throwing the shower for you or something.
But since you'd likely have the bigger items, mostly what you would need would be clothes and such. So I am not sure you'd want a full out baby shower this time. But I guess it's just a matter of personal preference.

My family and I have some rules about that. But for each person it may be up to them. For us-if you have a shower for the first baby, and then if you have another 5 years or more apart and it is the oppesit sex, then we have one. But if you have another baby less then 5 years apart-we either dont throw one or we make it small just a few close friends and immediate family.
I FORGOT TO ADD: since a baby shower is usually to shower the mom with gifts for the new baby because she is a new mom. you can always throw a get together after the baby is born that way it is all about baby. And I am sure everyone will want to see the new baby anyway,

No, it's not bad to have another shower. Every baby needs things. Just because you've already had a child doesn't mean this child doesn't need to be celebrated with a baby shower. You're going to need lots of stuff- have a baby shower.

It is bad taste to throw you own baby shower, it's like say hey give me stuff. But if someone throws it for you it's fine. If you need help getting thing for the new baby save the money you would spend on the shower and get the things with that , after all you already have the basics.

Sorry but yes..The rule I believe it's 5-6 yrs apart when you can have another baby shower. I would see about just getting your closest friends and family together for a mini celebration. I would also think that your good friends and family will still buy the new baby things.

of course its okay to have another baby shower. since a baby shower is a celebration for a child. it should be that u celebrate every child born, not just the first one. but if it was the same gender. u may ask that nobody bring presents (but since its not) it should be perfectly fine to have one. I mean if all u have is blue stuff, and u have a little girl, of course, ur gonna need a little pink.

i would say, depending on how far along you are, wait until some one mentions it to you, if they are gonna throw you a baby shower then you dont have to feel as bad about. but still if they dont i would say its still ok for you to have one, i mean its totally a different sex... plus, if your other baby is still pretty young there are gonna be things that you might need more of.... i wouldnt think it was bad... and im sure most people will understand specally if they went to your last one, they will know oh that one was a boy and this one is a girl... if it was me invited to someones like that i would be perfectly fine with it.... it would accually be kind of fun because you get the chance to pick stuff for both babyes.

No. It is perfectly fine. That's how it normally goes. Now, if there was already a girl, then no, you don't have one. But, in all reality, you might only get "girl" stuff, like clothing. You might not get a stroller, crib, carseat, yadda, yadda. People might think you don't need that stuff since you just had a baby. Or just register somewhere and have the person throwing the party note it in the invitation. Good Luck!
