LOL I figured I’d ask all the mommies or mommies-to-be what they would have appreciated during the pregnancy or what would be really helpful now (if you are pregnant).

Kashwere is very soft and cozy: Camel: http://www.amazon.com/Kashwere-Comforts-Camel-Slipper-Socks/dp/B0011FWRFO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1216912940&sr=1-3 Pink: http://www.amazon.com/Kashwere-Comforts-Pink-Slipper-Socks/dp/B0011BNVW6/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1216912940&sr=1-19 Lilac: http://www.amazon.com/Kashwere-Comforts-Lilac-Slipper-Socks/dp/B0011BI144/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1216912940&sr=1-7

She is going to be a stylin' mommy!! Haha thanks. She was the oldest and the first out of the five of us to be married/pregnant so it was a big deal and after all the hormone therapy and struggles she had to endure to become pregnant I just felt like I wanted to make her feel special...especially because I know many women feel very un-stylish when they are pregnant (who wouldn't - a lot of maternity clothes are blah!). “We are not self-employed.” ~ Gen.

I think it's because it's the only gift I got from anyone during the pregnancy (not including gifts from baby shower). It really helped me to sleep comfortably. I like the mani/pedi idea. Maybe you can look into gift certificate for prenatal massage. Or if your friend is into fitness, then maybe prenatal yoga classes would be nice. __________________________ "New Year's Eve is amateur night and resolutions are for fools." - Phil Jackson

Dressing yourself is a huge issue in pregnancy, really it was a main issue for me, just trying to cover that belly, keep warm and comfortable! By the end, you're stuck with pants that don't do up, tops that ride up, scarf-like arrangements to cover your bump etc etc. It can be horrible.. So, my suggestion is: do you think you could buy her some NICE preggy clothes...a couple of really nice, long tops - or a top and stretchy skirt, or a dress, etc, that will fit her happily right through the pregnancy, and look good too for a variety of occasions too? If you get one(s) with access from the front, she might use it to breastfeed, as well... My favourite from my first pregnancy was a very stretchy pull-on dress in an animal print And then a plank in reason broke... Emily Dickinson
