As a parent to be, I have been looking at toys that I feel are safe and educational for my baby bean. I came across this site KangarooBoo and I think I found the place where I want to purchase most of my baby toys. So when I got this email they are having a 20% storewide sale on Oct. 28 to celebrate their anniversary, I had to write about it.

Found some great advise in ‘Loving your Grandbaby’

I have been looking to find a nice diaper bag for a while. When I wasn’t pregnant I thought I would want a designer bag which costs $$$$. However, after having to spend a lot of money on various things you need to get for you baby even before she arrives, I wised up a bit and decided that I shouldn’t get a Gucci diaper bag after all.
So I have been doing some research on what wanted to get and decided that I either want a Dwellstudio diaper bag for $160 or LeSportsac baby bag for $140. They were both not outrageously expensive and looked stylish, lightweight and roomy enough for me to carry it everywhere. (My sister-in-law had LeSportsac baby bag before and she loved it so I was leaning more towards that one)
So when I went to LeSportsac website to see which designs were available for my new bag, I stumbled across a Mum bag by Stella McCartney for LeSportsac. I always loved Stella McCarney designs, so needless to say I loved it as soon as I saw it. It was cute, came with changing pad, cosmetic pouch and even had insulated pockets for baby bottles. The only thing between me and the bag was the hefty price of $350.
However, right now they are having a 75% sale on spring 2008 items (just enter stella75 at checkout), so I bought mine for $87.50. (plus shipping which was $22.50 (yowsa) and tax). Go get yours at leSportsac
Parent lecture series at the Aero Theather sponsered by Pump Station is going to have Dr. Harvey Karp as the lecturer on Oct. 18th. I really enjoyed his book “The Happiest Baby on the Block” and wrote a book report for my super cute and busy sexy hubby . If you are interested, tickets can be purchased at Fandango.
I am due in a month and about two weeks ago my doctor told me that my baby is in breech. I really don’t want a c-section, because I read that the recovery time is much longer for moms with c-sections.
After my conversations with a doctor she told me that there are a couple of moves that I can do at home to help turn the baby around, and if it all fails then the doctor can try to physically move the baby called external cephalic version. (If you would like to learn about external cephalic version, please click here.)
Some of the exercises my doctor recommended is lying on a board, like total gym, at about 45 degree angle with the feet higher than your head and cat stretch (be on your elbow and knees then put your head and chest to the floor and extend your butt in the air).
I also found a great site where they have compiled 17 ways to encourage your baby sprout to turn on their own. I plan on trying them all. So if you are as worried as I am about your breech baby, I hope this helps.. and good luck!
