As some of you know, my brother and his wife are expecting their first at Christmas. I've said to them that either which way things go with us, I think it's unlikely that we'll go and visit when the baby arrives. It's a 2 hour drive which is not terrifically far but if things don't work the last thing I'll want is to coo over a new born baby and if they do, I am going to be the most anal mother to be in the land and won't want the drive during a risky period. (Risk of miscarriage with IVF is pretty high).
So, my question is.... I want to be able to get something really nice for my new neice or nephew so that my brother and sis-in-law know that there is no hard feelings and the new addition will be very much loved. I also want something I can buy online as I try to avoid wandering around baby stuff shops as I find it all too painful. My parents will go up to visit so it can be biggish and I want something that will last more than a couple of months.
I was thinking of doing my own basket for my sister when she has hers too, I think it will be more fun as well as more personal........Good luck babe, and show us a piccy when ya have done, if ya do it :wink:
i dont know if its the kind of thing you're thinking about but the new tickle me elmo doll? its for 18months and up, but would be a good gift for a long time i'd think? they are a bit expensive tho... but heres a linky thing anyways
