It's not for me. I was invited to a friend's shower and I was kind of surprised she was having one.[/quote]

Really? You are sounding sort of judgemental. Baby showers need not be about getting baby stuff, they are there to celebrate the coming of a new baby.  I threw one for my SIL (who had 18 month old DC) and we gave her a great party surrounded with her friends and family. MIL and I gave her spa day cert and house cleaning service. We specified no gifts or money, but one of her friends took great pictures of the occasion and send her a CD of it.

Besides - 15 years is a great difference and there is nothing that she could reuse from her first baby. Safety standards and products change so much that even 6-7 years make a lot of difference.

I love how the people who throw/had showers for second babies (18 months apart) always chime in and say they aren't tacky. [/quote]

Actually, it totally depends on what culture you are from. In my culture you celebrate the arrival of children.  You also do not buy things for the baby before they are born (as to not jinx it). And there are never any baby registries. That is considered very tacky.

However, I am not sure in my extremely conservative culture  if  any one would acknowledge an out-of-wedlock child. I have never heard of one. [/quote]
