Second baby, baby shower question

Vanessa • Wife to a great husband, mother to a gorgeous 12 year preteen, a handsome 21 month old boy, and expecting a baby girl, Avi Jai, on 9/22/18.

Hi ladies!! So, in 2016, I had my son and had a baby shower for him. I am now pregnant with my third child, a girl, and I don’t know how to go about the baby shower. I’ve read mixed reviews about having a shower for another child. The thing is, I never had one for my first child. She’s now 12. My mom threw one for my son. However, we don’t hav e anything for

This baby because I thought I was done having kids. And now I’m 19 weeks pregnant with a little girl. Any advice or suggestions. I would like a shower because we need things, but I don’t know if I should just bite the bullet and buy everything we need alone (which we can’t afford) or throw ourselves a shower. No one has stated they would throw us a shower. I’m so confused! Thanks ladies, in advance!
