Did You Take Advantage of Full Maternity Leave?

babysugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:00:00 -0800

Before an expectant working mama checks out to welcome another baby to the world, she usually has a good idea of how much time it will be before she settles back into her desk. In some countries, mothers take the entire first year of their babe's life to stay at home and get to know them. In the States, it's a bit different. While some women have the luxury of taking months off to recuperate from their life welcoming event, others have to jump right back into the game leaving little time for bonding and resting up. While finances, benefits, and childcare are usually the decision makers, many mums are eager to get back to the job for the adult companionship it provides.

So tell mommy, did you take full advantage of your maternity leave?

The Gifted Mama: Presents For a Mother-to-Be

babysugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:00:07 -0800

It's hard to find anyone more deserving of pampering this holiday season than the expectant mother. Before she welcomes a babe into her arms, the bumpalicious lady will appreciate being gifted with these generous gifts.

A gift certificate to a prenatal massage will help mommy relax while giving the baby some motion in the amniotic ocean. Help the mommy keep her picture perfect tummy with the Mama Mio Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Butter. She'll be able to tell you all about her pregnancy but her stomach will have no signs of the nine months. Give her a head start on her postpartum meals with a gift certificate to a meal delivery service. She won't be able to thank you enough for the ability to sit back and eat instead of stewing over the stove. And if you're feeling really lavish, treat the pregnant lady to a digital Nikon camera. The photo quality is delicious and she can snap away at her new beauty all day long.
