 <link>http://www.lilsugar.com/2936763</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lilsugar.com/2936763&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=107  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl2/10/107379/12_2009/59358f0c4eee5f6e_77333238.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

            &lt;/div&gt;
            Friends and relatives wait and wait for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://lilsugar.com/slideshow/2936846&quot;&gt;phone call, email, or text&lt;/a&gt; that announces a newborn&#039;s birth.  And, despite lots of parents knowing the baby&#039;s sex in advance and some even choosing their infant&#039;s name before the debut, there are plenty of facts that inquiring minds want to know when it&#039;s time for the official announcement! Check out our slideshow for the tidbits of info you should include.

 <title>Grab an Umbrella, It&#039;s Time for April Showers!</title>
 <link>http://www.lilsugar.com/1513136</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lilsugar.com/1513136&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=106  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl0/10/107379/14_2008/aprilshowers.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It&#039;s as if we&#039;re in the midst of another baby boom with everything coming up wee ones in Hollywood.  And, if you&#039;re like us, in your own town.   &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Between Babysugar and I, we&#039;ve got at least a dozen friends with buns in the oven so we&#039;re dedicating this entire month to getting creative with baby showers. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During April, we&#039;ll be covering everything from couples events to kid-friendly fetes,  There&#039;s even one for parents to be with limited space.  Along with invitation, decor and menu ideas, we&#039;ll keep the party going with fabulous giveaways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So log on and take note as we shower you with advice on the latest and greatest ways to celebrate impending babes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To find out this week&#039;s theme, read more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Babies are good things that come in small packages, so our first shower is one that celebrates tiny things - from mini munchies to pint-sized presents, this theme is ideal for the parents-to-be with limited space at home or the couple who already have everything.  And, it&#039;s also convenient for parties that need to be transported to other venues.  &lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lilsugar.com/4523959&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=115 height=160  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons1/192/1922664/36_2009/aaa342cb4b91c6b6_cowboy.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your newborn is so stinkin&#039; cute you could scream, but you&#039;ll probably have to settle for a mailed announcement instead. Look on the bright side - it&#039;s loads more efficient and with all of the adorable and affordable options, it&#039;s a no brainer. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trusted oldies like Tiny Prints are still making a variety of fab prints though they&#039;ve got competition with new houses churning out precious patterns for wee ones. Check all of them out in the gallery below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&#039;gallery_thumbs &#039; &gt;&lt;div class=title&gt;&lt;!-- gallery teaser  --&gt;&lt;a class=photo-count href=&#039;http://www.lilsugar.com/4531656&#039;&gt;View 6 Photos ›&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- /gallery teaser --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Lil Find: CD Birth Announcements </title>
 <link>http://www.lilsugar.com/1590215</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lilsugar.com/1590215&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=106 height=160  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/2/22864/18_2008/birth-annc-cd-example-large.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Looking for a unique way to announce the birth of your lil one?  Take up a tune with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ringobaby.com/CDCovers.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Ringo Baby&lt;/a&gt;, the custom announcement company.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to the traditional announcements that stay-at-home mom Karen Ringo designs, custom CD cards can be created to announce your baby&#039;s birth with your favorite music. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To get the details, read more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any of the designs can be adapted into the CD card.  They include the baby&#039;s birth statistics, photos and your chosen wording on the outside, or cover, of the announcement, while the inside includes liner notes (your chosen playlist) and a circular hub to secure the CD.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Orders include coordinating stickers to be placed on the CDs. So while Ringo Baby is printing your cards and labels, you are busy burning the CDs with your playlist, be it John Lennon&#039;s &quot;Beautiful Boy&quot; or John Mayer&#039;s &quot;Daughters.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In terms of mailing the announcements, don&#039;t fear.  The CDs are 5x5 and weigh just under an ounce, so they mail in square envelopes that only require standard postage.&lt;/p&gt;
