I admit, I was clueless as to what I needed for the baby when I found out I was pregnant.
I added a bunch of useless, but pretty-looking things to my baby registry - yes, it is very overwhelming for a newly pregnant and hormonal young woman to think clearly.
I am here today to share what items I was gratefull for and you would put on my baby list over and over!
Can you really have enough? No! If ever in doubt - get boxes and boxes of diapers ( in variety of sizes!)
CLEANING SERVICES
Yes, it is unconvertional gift, BUT you will forever be remembered as the person who gave the gift of a clean, orginized house... even for a couple days..
Young mothers are sleep-deprived zombies and babies are needy attention-seekers. Surely the house mess moves down on the priority list. New momma will be thrilled to have someone come and clean her house. Trust me! This gift NEVER fails! use local cleaning service agency - reserve at least 2 appts.
BABY BEDDING
This is essential for a new baby! And it can be pricey, so why not help out with a Gift Card to a trendy, cute, modern baby bedding site, where the expectant mom can select her baby's crib bedding or even order custom made pieces. NewMomDesigns -will work one-on-one to get the perfect nursery bedding for your friend!
SPA DAY GIFT CARD
Agaim, cannot stress it enough, but one day she will THANK YOU from the bottom of her heart for this thoughful gift of rest and beauty - this is something we really, really need to survive those first hard months of motherhood. Spa Finder
BABYSITTER
If you are on the budget, but want to contribute with a wonderful, memorable gift - give the gift ot babysitting time. Either arrange for someone trust-worthy to come in and take care of the baby for a few hours so the mommy can take a shower or a long bath, go to brunch or simply take that precious nap! Donate your own time if you have baby experience! It will be MOST appreciated!
Now for the actuall baby!
