Alright! I had dinner with a few of my Awesome Friends Last night! And Boy, did we have an Awesome time...Good food,laughter!!
We got on a subject of Babyshowers!
My friend actually told us, she has been fussed at for "Giving Showers" to people having more than 1 child,2 children and so on!
I was fuming! That is ridicilious,and those comments should of kept to themselves. We do Baby Showers for many reasons:
1st Baby: Yes! these tend to be the Biggest, due to not having a baby, they need pretty much everything!
2nd: Diapers and Wipe Parties are real nice, because they need Alot of those!!! Also, If they already have girl, but the 2nd is a boy, They are just as Deserving! Because nobody, I mean NOBODY is going to put girl clothes on a Boy!!!!!!
3rd: Daipers and Wipes..again! They need them..Helloooooo!
But most of all, These Mother's that have more than 1,2 or 3 children, need to know that they Loved, and Supported by their Friends, and what better excuse to get together and Celebrate for Baby. Its not how much stuff they have,or how much they are going to get, its the Love we share for them and their Baby....
Babies are the Greatest Gift from GOD, and they Should be Celebrated with a Shower..No Matter How Many Children, they choose to, or going to Have.
I welcome any Comments about this....But to My "Friend" that got fussed at, Don't listen to those People, your Heart is in the Right Place, and I am Glad to be Your Shower Friend,so don't hesitate to call, because I would Love to help!!!!!!!!

Aw, I'm SO SORRY I missed last night!!!! I hate feeling like I missed something!
Just as a note of testimony, when I started coming to Westgate, I was pregnant with #3. The Sunday School class through my a gift card shower. Two things:
#1 - Financially, we really did need it, and it was such a blessing from God.
#2 - More importantly, it really made us feel supported and encouraged, and like a part of this Sunday School class and our church. That's one reason we love it so much today! Not because they "gave us stuff", but b/c it was such an awesome outpouring of love & encouragement.
So, there you go. Take it for what it's worth.
I think it's really important to treat everyone the same. Not that I needed anything, but I didn't have a baby shower for Darcy. It may have been due to the circumstances, but I think people can get their feelings hurt when people do for some and not for others. And I don't think that anyone wants to deal with a pregnant woman with her nose out of joint!!
Kari, I really agree. People get so caught up in "etiquette" and sacrifice love and kindness in its name.
I did not have a wedding shower with Jason because my family/friends felt I shouldn't have one because I had been married before. They also didn't feel I should have a wedding. Like I was damaged goods or something. I couldn't help it that that person abused me. My choices were leave or die. Period.
So because of that, I still feel hurt.
Showers are NOT about gifts. They are about showing love, kindness and support.
I think that every baby should have a shower. If the babies are close in age and are the same sex, most agree that a diaper/wipe shower is ideal.
Moms whose babies are different sexes or a few years apart should have a shower.
It's about support, love, encouragement. Who cares about etiqutte? People are what matter.
Etiquette can kiss my foot if it's placed over a person with real feelings and needs.
