This countertop appliance does everything you could ask of it, steaming, blending, warming and defrosting veggies, fruits and meats to prepare fresh, healthy meals for baby. Save the condensed water that results from steaming to add essential nutrients back into baby’s foodstuffs. You’ll get an unbreakable bowl, cooking basket, spatula and recipe booklet to create gourmet cuisine for a lucky little one. For more info, go to www.beabausa.com.

We're reporting to you on the Snuggle Down, a handmade baby sleep sack filled with hypoallergenic white goose down for little ones–but every time we see the soporific lil sacks, we just want to crawl back in bed and cozy up with one. Alas, we are not babies so this mom-made sleep sack sensation is not for us, but we really wish it was. Complete with a "two-way zipper for all-season adjustable warmth and ventilation," and skillfully designed to grow with your bebe from wee to toddler, the machine-washable sacks are available in a variety of different colors and patterns. Other noteworthy benefits include an 100% down-proof cotton shell, easy diaper changes thanks to side zipper access, sack keeps baby tucked in all through night and a lot more. We love this sweet little thang as a baby shower or holiday gift. It's  special and oh-so useful—two qualities that are often mutually exclusive. And—just something to think about—we'd totally use it if it came in adult sizes because between the little ones crawling into our beds (and hogging all the covers) and the big ones complaining that the comforter is just too hot, we think it's the perfect sleep-tight solution. We're off to pour ourselves another cup of coffee now. Happy snuggling!

I recently donated several bins of my son's clothing to a local charity. I held on to them for a long time, unable to bring myself to part with them, but finally realized it was time to see them go. A few days later, The Patchwork Tree came into my life. The custom quilt site turns your bebe's old blankets and clothes into an heirloom-quality quilt. Choose from a patchwork or block design for a handmade small (36 X 36), medium (36 X 45), large (45 X 54) or twin (63 X 81) piece of your heart captured forever. Do you love that or what? Does that make the best gift or what? Do I totally wish I had known about the site just a few days earlier? Can I get a what-what? Sew, er, uh, so, that is, if you want to hang on to your memories, go to www.thepatchworktree.com.

Cuddly. Snuggly, Cozy. Comfy. What better adjectives for a baby shower or new baby gift than those, right?

A warm, calming, soporific storm, that is.

Think your eggo could be preggo? (Okay, that doesn't entirely make sense but we liked the rhyme.) Tara Bloom from online maternity and new mom powerhouse site Maternitique.com has got some words to the wise for you: "Your health care provider won’t see you for your first prenatal appointment until it’s about six weeks from your last menstrual period. Worried about what to do until then? Relax and pick up a good pregnancy book. Or better yet, write your own! I love the Tummy Talk Pregnancy Journal and Album.  It's a great way to capture the wild ride known as pregnancy."

Ugh. This is so unfair. So. Un. Fair. Shrinkx Hips Postpartum Compression—your timing is terrible. Where the heck where you five or even a little over two years ago? I mean, really dude, where the heck where you? You are the coolest thing ever: The promise of your old body back. Ladies, it's not your imagination—your body did change after pregnancy and your hips are a little wider. (And no, those hairs weren't there before.) Pregnant bodies prepare for childbirth by secreting a hormone called relaxin (relaxin' is something you will never do again once the little one comes, by the way) that loosens pelvic joints and ligaments, allowing your pelvis to separate during childbirth. Couple that with the baby weight pressing down on your pelvis and the sheer act of giving birth and, well, wider hips—oh, and a beautiful, healthy baby who will change your life for the better the minute you lay eyes on her. And wider hips. Enter: Shrinkx Hips Postpartum Compression Belt. 95 percent of women (out of how many, I don't know) who used this body-saving device for up to eight weeks post-bebe, over or under clothing, returned to their pre-baby size. Paging Superman: Can you please fly around the earth backwards so I can wear this awesome sexy-back getter (and not feel lame about using "sexy-back")? Thank you. I appreciate it.
