Don't Forget About Mom!

When a mom goes to her baby shower, she's sure to be 'showered' with gifts for the new baby. There will be diapers, and toys, and clothes, and all the essentials a new mom needs right? Usually, the only essentials are for the baby, but how about recognizing MOM for her efforts? Mom will need a lot of support during labor and delivery, and would probably appreciate a little pampering herself! All too often, everyone brings thoughtful, beautiful gifts for the new baby, but mom is all but completely forgotten in the gift giving. Heck, even the new dads get cigars and big congratulatory pats on the back.

So next time you go to a shower, consider bringing the Labor Day Pack as a gift for the mom to be. This tote bag is filled with all kinds of necessities, as well as extra touches to make her feel pampered. These things, and more importantly, the thoughtfulness that is behind this wonderful gift, will make mom feel very loved and appreciated. This is also a nice thing that the dad to be can give his mommy to be to show her that he loves and appreciates her.

This pack includes a canvas bag, a lovely soothing eye pillow, as well as relaxing massage oil and lotion to sooth mom during and after labor and delivery. Also included with this thoughtful gift are Preggie Pops, which were created by nurses for moms in labor. Food and drink aren't usually allowed, so mom can suck on these to help keep her mouth from drying out. In addition, they have natural ingredients that help with energy, and nausea. Also to help alleviate dryness, lip balm is included, which contains natural beeswax to moisten and soften parched lips.

Dad will appreciate the smiley face concentration ball that is included, because mom can squeeze this ball instead of dad's hands during contractions. Dad can use the ball to massage mom's lower back to alleviate discomfort. When it's all said and done, there are new mom and new dad buttons for the proud parents to wear after the baby is born!

You can always add some personal touches, like room spray in mom's favorite scent, or a CD of relaxing and soothing sounds that mom loves for an added personal touch.
