I have four kids. I consider myself to be some what of a veteran when it comes to babies. When it comes to baby showers, I always have conflicted ideas as to what I should buy the new mother to be. Here is a short list of things I have considered.
1. Duct tape and a leash (Do you know how many times I've wished for that?)
2. Sound proof head phones (Have 'um-- better yet, I use 'um.)
3. Hand sanitizer and bleach (I think this is self explanitory-- eew!)
4. Shop vac and a steam cleaner (barf, pee, poop-- use your imagination)
5. GPS locator (and duct tape to stick it to the kids' head)
6. 100 binkies (they run away-- it's a proven fact, I swear)
7. Doubles of all silky blankets (We had 2-- the first was called woobie and the second was called the fake-out woobie. It totally worked.)
8. Extra set of keys (...make that 2 extra sets-- not that I know anything about that.)
9. A baseball hat and sunglasses (sometimes morning comes a little too soon for public appearances)
10. A gift certificate to have yourself cloned. (Seriously, you need 4 eyes, 4 hands, and two brains to keep up with children.)
Sadly enough I usually go with what's on sale at Target. Just once I'd like to see the reaction to a few of these.
What would you give?

Dude, I'd go with the 100 binkies. I am SO SICK OF TRYING TO FIND BINKIES.
Oh, I could have used ALL of this list! Hilarious!
the tree car air freshener thingies all blinged out and turned into a necklace...I smelled like rotten milk for ages and would have loved some sparkly pine fresh thing to just toss around my neck...
Totally the 100 binkies. Baden hasn't used one in a year and a half and I just found one the other day. They just magically disappear and don't reappear until you don't need them anymore.

I'm a fairly new follower of yours and just have to tell you how much I love your blog. I love a blogger with a sense of humor!
This may sound terrible, but I think every newborn should come with a complimentary DVR. Seriously! I know I would have appreciated it. :)
