BABY SHOWER

I have seen showers a second time or even third time around for folks that didn't expect the new addition. In these cases it was strictly very close friends or very close family. The showers were never very large, a celebration for the new one coming.

If your husbands family is offended then just let it be, you may get a small gift from them when the visit the little girl. I know that some are offended by this too, they think that they have to give a shower gift and then a gift when they come to see the new baby. So celebrate with those that want to be there and let those who don't miss out on the fun. :)

Congrats on the little girl.

I didn't have a second shower, but I have heard of it before...mostly in cases where the baby was a surprise, a different sex than the first, or there were several years between the kids.  I wouldn't worry about your husband's family....if they are offended, oh well.  The worst that will happen is they don't come and you won't get a gift. Chances are, you would get a gift from them after the baby is born anyway, so it doesn't seem like a big deal to me.  The shower is given by your mom, it isn't like you are throwing one for yourself.  In the case of a 2nd shower, I would make sure it is just family or very close friends. 

Hi I am the Mom of 3~Grandma of one~Ilove children!hi and yes since this is a girl it is fine and whom ever decides to attend fine those who don't well thats ok too...your mom is proud and i dont blame her ~as far as offended people don't worry believe me you will recieve plenty of invites for there falies as soon as the babies start and do keep track well of what you recieved and whom attended~goodluck

I have seen many people have a second shower it is not uncommon.

I don't see anything wrong with a second shower. I have 8 years between my boys and we had a second shower since we had nothing left. Only the family and friends I'm closest too showed up.
