Baby Shower Etiquette?

I don't see anything wrong with someone having a baby shower if the children are very spread apart in age, and when they are of the opposite . I think it's definitely more common now. I actually know someone that had a baby shower for both of her kids, they're both boys, and only like a year and half apart, I think something like that is ridiculous. But you also have to realize that most baby showers are thrown for people. If you were having another child, and your family throws you one, why would you say no? I had a second baby shower, my children are 10 years apart, I had a boy first and we were trying for quite a while before we finally got pregnant, and it was a girl. My mom threw me the shower, and it was nice, and I don't think any one was bothered by it. So in a case like the one you mentioned, I don't think there is anything wrong.
