I've always heard this is a big no-no. I've heard this because you still have baby things from baby #1, so having a shower for baby #2 just makes parents look greedy. I know this from experience, because I have a cousin who had a shower for baby #2 and everyone was all upset because they thought it was "tacky" and that she was being greedy. Not too many people went. Personally, I wouldn't have one.
The only thing I think I would REALLY ask for would be clothes and that's only if it's a boy. I see where you are coming from though. That's why I have a dilema.
Why don't you ask for baby clothes for Christmas or even Easter? Will you know by Christmas what sex the baby will be? If not, just ask for some generic ones for both sexes (i.e., green onesies or something).
I guess it depends on your your family and friends. Some people think all pregnancies should have a shower, while some think any shower after the first pregnancy is plain tacky. I was given a shower for my first and not my second, one is a girl and the other a boy. On the other hand, I have attended and/or sent gifts for showers of 2nd and 3rd babies. It is not as easy, as just not going for the people that think its tacky because they feel obligated or that your friendship/relationship will be negatively affected if they dont attend/send a gift.
