That was the day Evie wanted us to all wear headbands so that we could "do karate" so you aren't far off the mark.

It's safety gear for taking walks in the forest in rural Virginia during turkey-hunting season.

How old is your youngest? She looks about the same size as mine going by the Sophie scale

Hey can I ask you guys a question? One of my oldest friends is having her first baby! :D Despite being in the other side of 35 nearly none of my friends have kids so I don't have a lot of experience with this. I want to send her a present for the shower. I already got an adorable outfit but I want to send something else too. I figure that she'll get mostly stuff for the baby but she lives in AZ and it's going to be 100 degress by the time she's in her last month. Would it be really weird if I sent a gift certificate for pre-natal massage or some sort of mama pampering thing? Do you think she'd rather just want baby stuff?
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 17:55 (nine years ago) link
Oh! She's having a girl I also got her this alphabet book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0872866831/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0872866831&linkCode=as2&tag=openculture-20&linkId=CBY52NKUMALWLTHS also totally bought one for myself because HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 17:57 (nine years ago) link
I think a prenatal massage gift certificate would be great if you know she would like that. If you're not sure, Target or Amazon gift cards are always going to work.
― from batman to balloon dog (carl agatha), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 18:03 (nine years ago) link
Or you could get her a Sophie.
I'm not a parent but I bet she would be very, very happy to get something that lets her know you're thinking of her as her and not just as New Mom. I've bought things like that for pregnant friends. Or after the birth, nice bath stuff for the baby and even nicer bath stuff NOT for the baby but for the parent(s).
― ljubljana, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 18:04 (nine years ago) link
Depending on what their needs are, I don't think a mama-pampering thing is inappropriate - it's sort of a cruel truism that once the baby comes nobody gives a shit about the mother anymore. That being said, baby accoutrements can get quite expensive and if there's a registry or they've specifically asked for certain things then I would say respect their priorities.

Throw back Wednesday picture of Ivy and her Soph:

― from batman to balloon dog (carl agatha), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 18:06 (nine years ago) link
^^^^ Yeah! That was my thought process! I do think she'd like the massage and I know her sister who lives out there so I could even ask her for a recommendation for a spa. I like Sophie and I LOVE Ivy :D.
Thanks for the tips, guys. ― Οὖτις - I emailed her earlier about a registry but her sister didn't mention on on the shower invite so I'm guessing there isn't one.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 18:07 (nine years ago) link
I think she was about seven months in that picture and it's blowing my mind a little because she still makes that same exact face, with the wistful knowing smile.
― from batman to balloon dog (carl agatha), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 18:10 (nine years ago) link
It's a good face. Her arms though :D!
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 18:21 (nine years ago) link
I think Carl's OTM.
Opinions may vary, but I know sunny's thinking when given a certificate for a massage was, "oh right, I've got plenty of time to do things like that now. I'll just pencil in a time for after my acceptance speech in Oslo."
