15 unique baby shower gifts

Now these are just ideas I thought of...maybe they aren't that unique! Some of these require the couple to have not thought of them already.

  1. A book explaining the baby's immediate family
  2. Decorated onesie that means something to the family
  3. Stuffed animal(s) that looks like the family's beloved pet(s)
  4. Mobile of beloved but more physically distant family
  5. Digital frame for the grandparents
  6. Meal train for the first week(ish) of the baby's life
  7. Offering to run errands for a while for the new parents
  8. If you have the skill set, a baby and/or family photoshoot
  9. Membership to a local zoo/aquarium/children's museum
  10. List of vetted babysitters
  11. Instacart gift certificate
  12. Offering to do chores for the new parents for a while
  13. Helping compose, type up, or at least distribute thank yous for the baby shower
  14. Kiwico subscription 
  15. If there is a nursing parent, a Boobie Box subscription

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself.

Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
