It is totally tacky to have a baby shower for your second child. You already have all the shit from your first child and you don’t need any tips or help since this is the second time around. Its just a gift grab.

Heather: just because YOU were told it was ‘taboo’ everyone needs to think the same? GOD FORBID your family and friends wanted to host a small (looks like it was small from the article) shower to celebrate a baby. yes, A BABY…a HAPPY occasion! You really need to get a life (and ps: i didn’t have any showers for my pregnancies but I think they are lovely)

I’m with lacanyon mom. there’s so much hatred and sadness in the world right now, why not celebrate the really good stuff?

What’s wrong with a second shower? I’m sure the celebrities didn’t decide to have one. If a family member or friend wants to throw another shower for the couple why can’t they? Plus, this one is a girl and their first was a boy. We’ve thrown a couple of second showers for people not because we had to but because we wanted to. We were excited they were having another child.

You can have as many baby showers as babies if you like, who cares about what someone thinks or says about it being “taboo” to have a second one. I had one baby shower with the first one and because I was having another boy with the second one I opted for a shower with no gifts, just get together time and eat…Not that I needed a shower to do that, but anytime a party can be had I say have one.

Why do pregnant couples strike this stupid a$$ pose?

@Heather – the article clearly states it was a “sprinkle of love” and baby “sprinkles” are the latest thing for expectant parents who are just celebrating the upcoming birth, sans gifts. If a guest should chose to bring them one of course, than so be it. But many Hollywood stars have showers and request gifts for donations to charities.

Heather, I think times have changed. These days, women are having a baby shower with each pregnancy and not just in Hollywood. I’m old school like you, but we have to get out of this mindset because the world is evolving around us.

And we care how much her dress cost, why?

is a second shower appropriate?

Yes, they can have as many baby showers as they want… and I can have and voice my opinions of how tacky it is as I so choose.

heather: why would you listen to someone who said a second shower was Taboo? Make your own choices. Quit listening to other peoples beliefs and enjoy ur own life. Celebs/People can do whatever they want regarding their own lives including baby showers.

In our family we have a baby shower for every baby. I don’t understand why only the first child is acknowledge with a shower. With each additional child comes new clothes, new blankets. Generally all the big stuff has been looked after with the first but what a great way of acknowledging a new child. We aren’t rich, we just believe that each child should be treated the same.

There is something extremely fake and stand-offish about Vanessa. She doesn’t look warm at all.

She’s beautiful and glowing like any happy mother. Saw Nick and it was so nice hearing a man like him talk about his lovely wife and son. He’s just one happy family man now and that’s great! They are only part of the handful in Hollywood who got married first before starting a family. That is so rare these days. As for a 2nd or even 3rd baby shower, it’s not unheard of. It’s okay. I had 3 for each child (I have 3 kids) and I didn’t ask for a baby shower. They were all thrown as a surprise baby shower by family, friends and even co-workers. If one is a boy for some moms and the other, a girl, there is definitely nothing wrong with another baby shower. We can’t judge these people/celebrities as I’m sure they too have friends who go above and beyond to do special things.

Aww, she looks so happy and glowing! Why shouldn’t she celebrate her daughter’s impeding arrival? Plus it looks like it was thrown by her closest friends in an intimate setting and not sponsored, unlike other celebrity showers.

Seriously, a 2nd baby shower – oh I get it, you rich people need the latest and greatest for your kids.

There are showers and there are sprinkles. Why are people – celebs and non-celebs – not allowed to celebrate the impending arrival of every child? Each child is special and deserves to be celebrated. Why does anyone here care if someone chooses to do that? She didn’t throw the shower/sprinkle herself – her friends did.

I suppose the baby should wear all her brothers clothing from his shower?? She’s having a girl.. And deserves girl items. Why should she have to use her brothers leftovers. People are so silly sometimes. It’s simple mind your business and they will mind theirs 🙂

Rich people are NOT like us. The sooner we all realize that, the better off we will be!

Wow, some of you are so judgmental. I know lots of people that have had showers for each of their children and it’s definitely NOT considered tacky, Why not celebrate the impending birth with loved ones? Get over yourselves and smile once in awhile…

I totally agree with Sara! Each child deserves to be celebrated! And obviously she did not throw this “sprinkle” for herself.

Umm, she’s having a boy this time. I would imagine a shower would be in order unless that baby boy is going to wear pink and have pink things….geez…..

Why do people have to add so much drama to something that should be a happy occasion? A family member offered to host a second shower for me if I am having the opposite gender, or a diaper drive if having the same. Reading all these responses I will most likely be judged for accepting the offer, even if I don’t make a registry. How dare I(and all the other women) want to celebrate another baby with close family and friends.

There is nothing tacky about a second shower, but something is very tacky when women get married the second time and wear white.

Every new baby should be celebrated. From someone who almost lost her baby in the 6 month and never had the opportunity to have a shower out of fear of not having my baby, every mom should celebrate every baby they have. It’s a wonderful and miraculous thing. Luckily my story had a very happy ending with the birh of my little boy and I’m glad to see this happy family. I wish them a healthy rest of pregnancy. Celebrate your baby however you want and god bless!

You women commenting on here complaining about 2nd showers–are PIGS! Be GRATEFUL pigs for the fact that you are even able to have children, let alone ONE to hold a shower for. That’s the TRUE BLESSING AND WORTH CELEBRATING. PIGS, PIGS THAT BRED CHILDREN without truly understanding its worth. PIGS WHO ARE ALSO MOTHERS. CONGRATS, OWK OWK! I WILL NOT BE LIKE YOU ALL WHEN I AM TO BECOME A MOTHER–A REAL ONE without all the PETTY POINTLESS GOSSIP.

Oh how I love mixed race relationships.
