I didn't have a shower for my second. It's not common around here...at least not in my social circle. We did receive a ton of baby gifts and big sister gifts though from family, friends, and coworkers.
My first shower was thrown my my mom and MIL. I don't have a sister or female cousins and SIL is out of state and single, so the mom's did it. Again, around here, that isn't all that uncommon.

Gluten free since Nov '11 after non-celiac gluten sensitive diagnosis. Have had great improvement or total elimination of: migraines, bloating/distention, heartburn, cystic acne, canker sores, bleeding gums, eczema on elbows, dry skin and scalp, muscle cramps, PMS, hair loss, heart palpitations, fatigue. I'm amazed.
