Ellen! Thank you for your thoughtful gifts for WBG! Sorry you had problems with the Target registry.. Pat and I are bring a couple empty suitcases with us, and we will get those presents back to Maryland! I am so happy for you and your new baby, Isabella, I bet you being a new mom made you drive out to Target to get WBG some presents! You know first hand how difficult and how important it is for an infant to have particular items.
These are just some of the items Ellen and family gave to WBG. The picture was taken from the Target Website. I’ll take a picture of all the presents together once I get them back to MD.
The best thing I got for Isabella (besides a three month supply of lexapro..you are crying now, just wait until after you have her) was a friend telling me the most important thing ever. She said “Your baby does not know the right way things should be done, or what books and other people tell you to do. She only knows what you teach her, and that is your love”.
I hope you get good use of everything. I live at Target these days. I actually saw the book you wanted on amazon and thought it was a great idea, so I ordered frozen food trays (ice cube trays)and a couple of make-your-own baby food books and plan on giving it a try. Thanks for the idea. I have a magic bullet so it can’t be too hard.
Morning Ellen! Your friend is right on target, My mom sort of told me that too ~ she didn’t have any books, any ultrasounds, anybody to tell her what to expect or what to do or how to care for a baby. She had her first baby at like 16 I think!
She just did it ~ she did it and showered us with love!
My mom said, when the baby cried she cried.. when the baby threw up she threw up! lol She is sensitive like that!
I have a magic bullet too… I use it practically daily and LOVE IT!
I remember Pat and I talking to Timmy about the magic bullet a couple years ago. Pat was saying how awesome it was and how much I used it.. and for a few minutes Timmy thought we were talking about a very private and intimate kind of magic bullet! LOL bwahhahaa I wonder if he remembers that?
Thanks for your new mom words of wisdom! It means a lot to me!
