Are you having one? Are you throwing it or is someone else? Any certain theme?

Since this isn't my first, I probably won't get one. But we've got most of what we need. I think we just need a car seat and a bassinet. With my 2nd I wished we could have had one because I needed things like a double stroller and girl clothes.

nope. Only had a small one at work with my first. No one close to throw it for me, and with a second it's even more unlikely.

No, since this is our second, nobody will and the fact that no one will be here either (no family members).

Yes since its been over 7 years since my first one and I lived in a different state then I am having a shower this time around. I have already had my 2 bestfriends offer to throw it I am not sure who will end up doing it.

Yes because it has been over 9 years since my last child and I need everything. My sister is throwing it for me.

I'm not pregnant but I did have a shower when I was pregnant. Actually, I had two. My mom threw me one when I was pregnant for my side of the family and then SO's sister and aunt threw another one once Olivia was born for their side of the family. I was so thankful because between the two showers, we got everything we needed!

My mom is going to throw a "Welcome Baby" party after baby is here. We aren't finding out what we are having, so if it's a boy, we will need lots of clothes, in fact, this baby will be born in a completely different season from DD, so even a girl will need clothes. I am hoping that by doing it this way, we may get more diapers and wipes out of the shower We don't need a lot of stuff, other than clothes and the everyday things like diapers and wipes since everything we got for DD was pretty much neutral.

Baby #4=no shower for us. It's ok because I saved EVERYTHING from when Christian was a baby. We only needed a car seat and a crib.

I don't think so. We can afford everything we need and a lot of our friends/family do not have much money so I don't want them to feel obligated to buy anything.

One of my dear friends threw one for me on 1/21. There wasn't a certain theme, and that's fine with me! We had a great time!
