Presents!!!
My awesome in-laws just came down for the weekend and they came bearing gifts! They got us all kinds of really neat things that I had never even heard of, so I am stoked. My mother-in-law already has 6 other grands that are 6 and up (in age), so she really knows what is out there. Whereas I walk into a baby superstore and get completely overwhelmed, she knows exactly where to look. I am so impressed with her. Want to hear about some of the cool things she found?!?
1) A baby wipes warmer. Who would have ever thought of such a thing?!? But it makes total sense. If I was a baby, I'd prefer warm wet wipes over cold ones. (It even has a pad inside to keep the wipes fresh and from getting moldy...) SO COOL.
2) A "temporal artery thermometer." This is really neat. Gone are the days when you have to stick a thermometer up baby's butt-hole. I shudder to think that was the most effective temp gage. Yikes. With this one, all you have to do is wipe it across baby's forehead and it takes a very accurate temperature. You can even do it while the kid is asleep!
3) A swaddle-me wrap. I've already been wondering the proper way to "swaddle" and this wrap takes the guessing right out of the equation. It is a velcro blanket ready and waiting to swaddle your child. I guess I'm all set!
She also brought a whole lot of other great things, like baby's first scrapbook stickers, a Peter Rabbit book, a sweet little stuffed lamb, a gorgeous thick white blanket, a cute little unisex sweater sleeper, an itty bitty white ball-cap and white socks and sneakers, and some disposable diaper baggies. I feel like I just had a baby shower! Isn't she great?!?
It was a whole lot of fun going baby shopping with the my hubby and his parents, too. My mom-in-law had great nursery ideas and the whole experience just made everything seem so real!
