Q. My brother and sister-in-law are trying to get pregnant, and when the announcement comes I want to give my sister-in-law a goodie basket with stuff to use for her pregnancy - nothing for the baby yet but stuff just for her. I have some ideas such as stretch mark cocoa butter lotion, prenatal vitamins, gift cards to maternity stores...but I want it full and brimming and exciting! I've never been pregnant before so I need ideas of stuff she can use - anything at all! I'm so excited to get a nephew or a niece!
A. Your gift basket ideas seem great, and its very sweet of you : ) Hmmm perhaps some ginger tablets or anything with ginger root in it would be good to go in there, it really helps with nausea if she is unlucky enough to get it. Also the book ideas sound good : ) Or even some pregnancy magazines, the ones that have the real life birth stories in them, those are great. You could get preggy pops which are lolly pops to help pregnant women with nausea.
What is a good idea for a gift to big brother from baby sister?
Q. My 5 year old son recently told me he's mad at me because I'm replacing him. It broke my heart to hear him say that. I'm currently 35 weeks pregnant with my daughter and I wanted to get him a gift from the baby to show him he's not being replaced. Only problem is I have no clue what.
Can anyone give me some ideas on what would be a good gift for big brother from baby sister?
Thanks!

A. be advised that consumerism is NOT sustainable
also a gift of material things can NOT replace
genuine concern and respect, he needs to know
that you are still concerned about him and you care.
don't smother him with material gifts, just give him
your genuine respect and he will know.

What is a good Christmas gift for a pregnant woman?
Q. My sister-in-law is pregnant with TWINS and I don't have any idea what to get for her for Christmas without seeming like a Baby shower gift. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

GAMES
Few of our favorite picks:
Dirty Diaper Game - Have mom-to-be change baby doll diaper. Use chocolate topping and tea to make the game more realistic. If it's her first diaper change, it may be a lot of fun :) /You will need diaper, chocolate topping, tea and baby wipes/
Blindfold Diaper Change Game - Sometimes very tired new mom needs to change diaper in the middle of the night with her "eyes wide shut". This fun game may be a time saver in the near future :) Watch mom-to-be or other guests make it right. /You will need a diaper and a doll./
Match The Socks Game - Put several unpaired pairs of different colors socks in a bag. Mix them well and give each player minute or two to pair them. Winner is a guest who at the end of the time paired the most socks. /You will need several, possibly 10 or more pairs of socks and some container to mix all of them/
Baby Food Game - Have each guest try baby food from unmarked container to guess what is it. Sounds pretty easy, right? Think twice... you will be surprised how many people will guess it wrong! /You will need unmarked containers. Put jars in warm water for 10-15 minutes to dissolve glue from the label. It will be easier to take it off . You may also use nontransparent paper and piece of tape to cover the label/
Baby Charades Game - is a word guessing game. It is an acting game in which one player acts out a baby word or phrase. /You need to produce list with as many as you want "secret" words or phrases. The guests attempt to guess the word or phrase based on the "actor's" performance. They can ask questions, to which the "actor" may give non-verbal responses, such as nodding in affirmation.
Name As Many Baby Items You Can Game - Have each guest write down as many baby products as they can name within few minutes. Sounds easy at the beginning, but it will start racking their brains for more closer to the end of the game. Give a prize to the guest who gets the most baby products named. /You will need pan and piece of paper for each guest/
Guess Mom's Tummy Size Game - Have each woman pull the yarn to the size they believe would fit perfectly around the Mother-To-Be's center of her pregnant tummy. After everyone cuts their yarn , compare the results to the Mommy-To-Be's actual tummy. Give a prize to the lady who is the closest! This is a long time baby shower favorite. /You will need few feet of yarn for each player/
How Well Do You Know Mommy-to-be Game - ( It's a great time for mommy-to-be to take a brake and refresh herself since she needs to stay out of the sight for this game ) Have each guest write down facial features of future mom ( for example: hair length and color, eye color or even what is she wearing right now ) /You will need pen and piece of paper with already written questions/
Drinking Game - Milk of course :) or any other favorite soft drink or juice - Have each participating guest drink it from baby bottle with nipple. First to finish provided amount is winning the game /You will need few baby bottles of the same size /
Baby Trivia Game - Make a list of questions about babies or parenting and make 3 different answers for each of the questions, where only one is true. For example: How much parents spend in the first year on diapers or how many of them will be used in the first year. Questions and answers can be found in many publications, including internet. Google is a good start :)
What Is It? Game - mom-to-be is blindfolded and needs to tell their guests what she has in her hands. It's even more fun if mom-to-be is told that these are items from around the house... /You will need some toys or baby items, blanket or bag to cover/hide the items/
Word Scrambler Game - One of the favorite baby shower games. You will need to scramble some baby words. For example: bottle = letobt , diaper = repaid or pacifier = ficipare /You will need pen and piece of paper for each guest. It's easier and faster if you have the scrambled words printed and each participant have to write the unscrambled word next to it/
