Baby Gifts

[WinniBug]

That's crazy, I couldn't imagine looking at Annalisse when they handed her to me and thinking she looked like she should have a different name....
The only way I would have named her something different is if she'd had different plumbing, like what happened to one of MY sorority sisters!
For months, they'd planned on welcoming Fletcher into the family, but in actuality, ELIZABETH decided to make her appearance 3 weeks early!

When I buy baby clothes, I always buy them in a larger size (about 9 mos). As we all know, new moms get tons of clothes for infants and then have little to choose from a few months down the line. I figure it would be nice to have something on hand for when you wake up one morning and the baby no longer fits into anything!

Also, I always include a gift especially for mom; maybe a home spa kit, aromatherapy candles, pedicure set or the like. Everyone is oohing and aahhhing over the baby (and rightfully so!); however, they forget that she's the one who's been carting it around for nine months and will likely be up all night for a number of weeks. The moms always seemed touched that I had specifically thought of *them*.

When I was young, I used to go to tons of Baby showers with my mom. What teenage girl doesn't like babies?
My mom always used to bring similar gifts. I have followed in her wise ways. If the mother to be is asking for diapers, I buy the size they need, but a size up too for the same reason as the clothes.
