When you were pregnant were your Christmas or birth day gifts centerd around your unborn baby? I'm due in march. Christmas this month and my birthday is in Feb. And I'm having my baby shower in Jan. All anyone talks about getting me is stuff for the baby. I knows it's nice people giving me free stuff to take care of my baby with, and I do appreciate it. But this is my last Christmas before it's all about my son, and my birthday should be about me. I didn't have a birthday at all last year. It was my big 18 and I got out of foster care. I know I'm sounding like a little baby, but I feel it's neccessary for me to atleast have my birthday for me. How do I tell this to people without sounding like a little baby? Christmas and baby shower it's cool, but I want to have a birthday this year!

Is it too early to start slowly registering for my baby shower? I'm just about three months along. My first son is 7 and i have nothing left from when he was small. I have some things being passed on to me, but i know that my sisters are going to throw me another baby shower, as it's already been talked about. I look at the stuff i like on baby websites and what not,.. and there are some really cool things that i don't want to forget about. I have noticed that nowadays, you can just register for your baby gifts on the stores webpages, as well as adding to it when you're in the store. So, what i'm wondering is, Is it too early for me to start a registry of things that i might like for my shower gifts? Of course it is way too early to know if i'm carrying a boy or a girl,.. but there are some things that are unisex and i'd want them no matter what i'm having. I can wait to add the gender specific things until later in the pregnancy, closer to the shower. What do you think? Am i jumping the gun by starting my registry now at a store or two? ty
Baby shower gifts? My cousin is having twins so I'm trying to think of cool things to get her for her baby shower. The main theme I want to stick with are things that the babies will need when they're a little older, since people generally focus on getting the things babies and mothers will need right away. Thinking back, is there anything that you needed that you didn't get at your baby shower? Or does anyone have any ideas? Like I said, my gift theme is older babies, but any ideas you can give me for newborns would be helpful, too. Thanks!

Is it appropriate to get a small gift for the older sibling of a birthday baby? We're going to a small birthday gathering for a lady from church whose baby is turning 1. She also has a daughter who will be 4 in December. Would it be appropriate to get a small gift for the older sibling. And by small I mean like a cheapy $1 princess jewelry set from the dollar store or something. My husband says "no, just get a gift for the 1 year old. Kids need to learn they can't always get gifts at a birthday party." Besides, my almost 3 year old is friends with the almost 4 year old so I thought it would be kind of cool for my daughter to give something to her. Appropriate or not?
Coolest gift for my future niece.....? My sister is having a baby soon. I'm thinking about getting some sort of a pouffe that's made for babies. I'm just afraid that it's unhealthy, so I'm rethinking this. Any cool ideas for a baby gift? towels, blankets, etc are boring.

Would this be a good gift for my friend when she has her baby? My best friend is having her baby tomorrow, and I want to give her something special. I am sure she will be getting plenty of flowers and little stuffed animals for the baby, etc. I am going to get something for the baby too, of course, but I was thinking about getting her a pair of blue topaz earrings -- each one will symbolize one of her boys (now that she is a mom of 2! :)) Is that a cool idea? Was there any special or unique gift you ever gave a friend who had a baby? Thanks!

A Knock-Their-Socks-Off Baby Shower gift? Two of my best friends are having their first baby. The shower is next month, and although they've registered for the shower (under sea theme) I'd like to get them something else that's not on the list. I'd love something really unique, or really funny, or really super-useful...ideally all of the above! The sex of the baby isn't known. It would be cool if I could customize something, like choose the words on a baby onesie or something. Any ideas? Favorite baby websites? Something more original than Babys R Us and the usual?
Homemade gifts? Homemade gifts are definetely the best. I want to make them for my sisters and my two best friends. I want them to be special and unique. Does anyone know any good sites for homemade gifts? I would like a couple of them to have to do with art and music, but I want to keep it simple. Also, one of my sisters is pregnant and it would be nice to give her something for the baby (a girl). Also, environmentally friendly and recycling gift are cool. I know I know, I could look these up on my own. I have been looking for awhile and I haven't seen anything that has really stood out so I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks your suggestions were great! About the primitive sign that says "All Because Two People Fell In Love", I actually already picked that out for the baby's room. I saw it at an arts and crafts fair. It is very cute. Thanks again!

Is my Christmas gift idea cool or lame? My friends had a baby a few months ago, and they are already reading to her. I thought it would be cool if I wrote and illustrated my own children's book, and gave it to them as a gift for the whole family. There is a web site where you can get your own book professionally printed and bound for $20. I was going to use my nick-name for the baby as the name for the main character in the story. So, what do you think? Good? Sucks? Wow. Thanks for all the positive responses. The web site is www.creationsbyyou.com I am going to use "Illustory," but they also have other book options. You click on "Internet Production" to do eveything online. It is supposed to take about four weeks to get your book back if you do it that way.
Necessary baby shower gift? My husband's first grandchild is due soon, and I need to take something to the baby shower. Everything on her registry is already bought. Now what do I do? I bought baby stuff 27 years ago and am out of the loop, so I know there is probably cool stuff out now that is a must-have. Suggestions? Wow! Wonderful ideas! I especially love the doll cradle - I definately want to get something special she will always keep, so diapers are out. And the gift baskets -- ohh ohh -- I got it!! I'll find a new doll cradle and personalize it and fill it like a gift basket! Thanks, ladies -- you gals rock!
What to get for a baby shower? I'd like to get my cousin something cool for her baby but i don't know what to get. I think she's having a boy (she's keeping it a surprise but from what I can tell on the registry list it seems like it might be a boy) I have a 6 year old so you'd think i'd know but I'm looking for some newer cool ideas--- anyone know what's out there? Any mom's who just had a baby or maybe one who's waiting? I'm not looking at spending a fortune, just something nice. I usually like to gift people with fun things-- not too practical.
What gifts to bring to gf + fam in Nairobi,. Kenya? I'm going to visit my honey in nairobi; she has a sis 8 years old. What would be cool for this girl to get from a zungu (european), apart from a Barbie Doll, which she has expressed herself) ? My princess have a mother too (duh!) - any suggestions for something nice for her too? Hit me! ... oh! and even though I have my own ideas for a little something for my baby... you can throw some ideas my way for her too.
Was this mean to be? Ok well I am in college and last semester I had a math teacher who is a female .. (we are both female) but anyway.. we became friends b/c I thought she was such a nice/good person. I kinda asked her for her friendship and she accepted and now we always talk through email all the time and it seems we are becoming closer friends. Its cool b/c she was pregnant and I was able to give her baby gifts and also we went out to lunch a couple of times. She is kinda like a guidance in a way for me. In some ways, I think she was meant to become my friend because of the things she has helped me through and gave me advice with. I applied at a job that her husband works at and she told me she would tell her husband to put in a good word for me and I have never even met him ever although I am taking a class with him when school starts. I was just wondering... do you think people like this who come into your life are there to serve a purpose or to help you in some way like a godsend?
What is the nicest dog gift someone has given you? My partner recently bought 8 fleecy blankets for the whelping box in hopes we have Bernese babies coming... I thought it was so cool he thought of it... What is the nicest gift someone has given you for your dogs?

Actual Nanny State: NYC Bans Baby Bottles? Actual Nanny State: NYC Bans Baby Bottles When I first read this story, I said, "This is absurd. This is just getting out of hand, and nobody's stopping it. Everybody is going along with it. We're losing New York," and then I thought, "Well maybe I don't know enough about this, because I've not been a parent," but, you know, they've banned smoking in New York City, and they've banned trans-fats, and now they're going to ban the baby bottle. They're going to mandate breast-feeding by 2020. I'm not kidding. "Free formula samples and formula promotional materials are now banned from gift bags given to new mothers at the 11 hospitals run by the city's Health and Hospitals Corp. Instead, new mothers will get a tote bag stuffed with disposable nursing pads, a mini-cooler for breast-milk bottles, and pint-sized T-shirts for the babies that proudly declare 'I eat at mom's.' The move comes as World Breast Feeding Week is set to begin tomorrow. And today, city health officials will announce a campaign to promote breast-feeding instead of using formula." You know, I remember when I was a kid, I had dreams that I was Dolly Parton's baby and she did put me on formula. My first reaction is, "It's none of your damn business! If somebody wants to bottle feed the baby, get out of their lives!" But I don't know enough about the medical aspect. We have this story from Great Britain and parents not mentioned in a story about how the government is responsible for "youth behavior." British kids are running out of control, drinking, drugging, binging, all these things. They need more government programs to fix it. Not once in the story will you read the word "parents." Now you have the City of New York telling people you can't smoke, you can't eat trans-fat, and now you can't bottle feed your baby. Do you think it's a good idea, Mr. Snerdley? I know I'm going to get a sexist answer to this. I shouldn't even ask you. It's healthier for the children? Breast milk is healthier for the children. Well, I've heard that, and that's one of the reasons that I pulled that. But, do we have any known cases of babies dying having been fed formula? Do we know this? Like the woman in Maryland that aborted her own fetuses and buried them, was that because of formula? Well, no, they weren't even born yet so it's not even a factor. http://wcbstv.com/local/local_story_212165519.html
good birthday gifts?!? Okay, my friend's birthday is coming up and I wanna get her something really cool. I'm thinking I want it to be related to either the movie cry baby, harry potter, or that one south park episode where Stans dad is dressed up as a bunny. where can I find omething creative?! not a shirt though! help
Cool store name? I am opening a gift basket shop that is not limited to just baskets. Customers can also buy products separately and choose what items they want in a basket or container. The shop will be located in the historic district of town. The street is named "Bank St". The city is "Decatur". I will have gourmet foods, unique gift items, greeting cards, gourmet pet items, baby items, candles, candle holders, kids gifts, and so forth...
Would you like that as a gift? My mother in law is the sweetest lady. She has 5 rescue cats (cat lady!) and she just discovered a feral cat that had babies in her garage, which she has been feeding (rescue group will spay and neuter). She also just rescued 2 hounds from the pound (they were going to get euthanized and she adopted them) anyway, I told her to stop because of the vet bills because it could get very bad if they get ill (which they will eventually). She can't foster because she gets attached each time... ANYWAY, do you think paying for some vet bills or pet stuff as a gift is a cool gift, or too tacky? Like giving a movie card to someone who goes to the movies a lot... I would give her a "vet card" as she has a lot of pets... because she does not need anything else. It's hard to find her a gift. Note: she has enough to care for her pets. Please no nasty judgemental comments needed. I am asking because my husband was not thrilled by it... and was hesitant.
Got any cool ideas for making my best friends birthday extra special and fun? It's my sister-in-law, she's 21 and expecting her second baby in October. Last year, since both our husbands birthdays fall in the same week, we went crazy planning something special for them. Since both of them are in law enforcement, we made up little rhyming clues and hid them all over town. They had to decipher and follow the clues in order to find their gifts (which were in the back of my hubby's patrol car at home). The whole time we were playing every cop theme song imaginable on the car stereo and recording it all on video...he,he. It was WAY cool! Anyway, she had so much fun planning it with me and kept saying how she wished someone would do something so cool for her...so, I wanna! What can I do? Thanks for your time!
Can you help w/suggestions for inexpensive, but thoughtful anniversary gift? Hi, trying to get ideas for some inexpensive gifts I could put together for my sister and brother-in-laws 2nd anniversary. I'm on an extreme tight budget, but want to put a basket together for them. I've already thought of home-made chocolate covered pretzels and a bottle of wine. They have a new born baby and I also thought of a night of babysitting coupon. I know there are a lot of creative minds out there... maybe you could suggest something different and cool? Thanks a bunch!!

Baby Shower Ideas? My best friend of the past 10 years is expecting her first child in September. Her husband is in the marines and is deploying in August, so I want to do the shower before he leaves. I was thinking mid-July. She doesn't know the baby's sex yet. What are some good ideas (and examples of decorations) either way? I went to a tea luncheon a few weeks back and LOVED it. I thought maybe it would be cool for the shower? I do want it to be feminine and relaxing for her. Besides my friend and myself, her mom, sister, and about 12 friends will be there (hopefully). Is there something I could ask everyone to bring besides their gifts, that is cheap (we had a bridal shower for a friend and everyone brought a packet of flower seeds so they could have a garden at their new house)? I was thinking of everyone writing a note of parenting advice and putting them in a little box for her at the shower. What are good foods to serve? I want something light. I was thinking as a "gag gift" door prize (or even as a "mystery gift" to her) getting a pretty bag and stuffing it full of condoms with a note that says, "Next time....." lol
christmas for a 9 mo old baby.? I am having problems getting the great gift for my 9 mo. old baby. She has a brother(3)All the toys are so similar that they are the same. Her grand parents have gotten her all the cool stuff. She has all her brother's hand me downs. I am giving them to toys for tots. She doesn't seem interested in any thing but the box.
Could I be pregnant? I had unprotected sex about six and a half months ago. Since then, I have not had my period, I have had weird cravings and rampant morning sickness. My belly is getting larger, and just a few weeks ago, I started having sensations in that area, like something kicking and squirming. My breasts are extremely tender, my mood swings back and forth each day. For example, at this party last week, someone brought carrot cake, and everyone knows I hate carrot cake, and I began to cry a little bit. But the party turned out pretty cool anyway, cuz I got all sorts of baby gifts. Do you think my friends are trying to tell me something? Is it too early to take a home pregnancy test?
Baby mama Drama...what to do? My husband has a 4 yr old back home in florida that his baby momma just approached him with three months ago. He claims he knew there was a chance he could have gotten her preg, but they broke up a month after they had sex. So he never knew of a baby. When she called him and said they had a 4 yr old son, I was excited becuz I have had a hard itme having kids, and i LOVE children. Off top she was going off on him about seeing his son. So b4 his trip there I bought the kids sum cool stuff and made like a big a5s gift basket. At the last minute he asked me to tag along. So i did, we got htere and i got a hotel room, and rented a car. I never disrespected her by showing my face. He decided to bring Jr back to memphis with us for a month. We have been home two weeks with the lil guy. Ive taught him to call me by my first name, even tho i am his step mom. She calls OUR house daliy cursing me out. Sayin don't touch her son, dont feed him I may try to poisen him becuz Im jealous that she has > < has a baby with my husband. I would never hurt that child, I love him like i love my own. What do i do? How do i go about making things better? Keep in mind she is very ghetto and I am a classy type female. What do I do? DOOBIE- as far as me and him puttin the babies mom in an aptmnt close to us wudn't work! SHES 2 GHETTOE! I even invited her to come stay a week or two so she could see how we live, every thing is ok, she cursed me out again. My husband says its jealousy, she is stuck in the ghetto, when me and him have left the ghetto got jobs and bigger and better. So that would only add fuel onto the fire!!! lol We have caller ID and what she does is block her number or call from sumone elses threeway in hopes that Iwill pick up the phone! DEA PEPPER< back child suport already came up! As sson as she found out about meshe said she was gonna do it! LOL and it threw her becuz I told her WE'D pay it in 3 lump sums to get it out the way!

If i were in here shoes, i'd be worried but I would go about int in a MUCH different way!!! DEAR malandrina, the word a5s came from anger in that sentence! I bought all this stuff to show his mom that I care for her to never let him touch it! When i say I am classy, i work a nice job, i can put on a knee knirt and knee boots with a button down and look nice, she on the other hand will throw on sum sort of booty skirt and stilletos and go to the club! BIGG DIFFERENCE! Me sayin a5s and her callin me a ugly 4 eyed, d.1ck biting ho3 is 100% classless, am i wrong?
Is tap water really safe to use for newborns? Or how long can boiled and then cooled water be stored in fridge I just had my baby on 2/20th. She was given some ready to feed Similac formula at the hospital, but I also recieved a big canister of Similac powdered formula as a gift from some relatives. For the powdered stuff I will need to mix it with water and what I've been doing is boiling water, then letting it cool to room temperature before mixing it w/ the powder in the bottle. I stored the rest of the cooled/boiled water in pitchers in the fridge. How long is this water good for? Or should I boil a new batch every day? Also, just wondering about the tap water, some replied the other day saying that they use plain warm tap water to prepare their babies bottles. Is this really safe for newborns? I'll probably just go ahead and keep boiling my babies water just to be safe but was just curious about how many of u actually did use water straight from the tap for your newborns.

MAUREEN, i tried to treat it as tho it wasn't my problem, she won't come to me directly with the problem, She calls our house from a restricted number, or on someones 3way sho that her number won't show in the caller I.D. and as soon as I answer it she's going off in my ear. Last night Jr came to me and said that he wanted to talk to his brother so i dialed his home number and handed Jr the phone, his mom asked him to put me on the phone, as an innocent bystander, he handed me the phone and there she was going off. My husband goes off on her and has even threatened an order of retraint and court visitation but she's so ghetto it doesn't phase her!!! BTW...He came in calling me mom! I didn't tell him too, he is going on 5 and understands that I am his step mom, he is very smart. But i corrected him and just told him to call me by my name or even make up a silly nick name!
Birthday gift for husband? Today's his birthday. I always seem to forget to think stuff up BEFORE. Anyway, what are cool gift ideas that don't require much money. What would be good thoughtful gifts. I already have one special one in mind, but I would like other input. And I believe we're finally going to the movies tonight. (We have a baby, so we haven't been in about 5 months!) Any other fresh ideas? thanks!
