Once again, this discussion could be way more in depth depending on your vocabulary or understanding of the term "baby shower." My simple answer, absolutely! However, that does not necessarily mean having a get together for the sole purpose of showering a mother-to-be with baby gifts. I believe that every child should be celebrated. Children are so precious and none is more special than the previous or the following. Therefore, every child should be celebrated by the joining of family and friends in support, love, and celebration! I think that if your children are merely months or years apart, then it could be an option to put "gifts not necessary" on an invitation. But really, how much will it put you out to buy a friend, daughter, etc. a bag of diapers or a cute little outfit? After all, Walmart sells affordable brands that are no different than those of higher end baby departments!
In my case, I was away from friends and family for my first born. That was upsetting to me! All I wanted was to be around people who were just as excited for my princess to be born as I was. Receiving gifts was not even a thought in my mind! Now I am [temporarily] staying with family and I want nothing more than to be able to celebrate with those closest to me!
In closing, having a baby is one of the most exciting things to ever happen in a person's life. Having the second, third... none less exciting! I say the more to celebrate, the merrier! Bring on the baby festivities!
