Question for the 2 Under 2 moms (Whether you are one now or were at one point)

My BFF is due the beginning of July with her 2nd ( ), her 1st () will turn one the end of June.

I want to get her something she can/will need/use. Any suggestions?

Was thinking of a convertible carseat for her DD. OR a double stroller, but not sure which one.

Or, should I just tell her, this is what I want to get you, which one do you want.

She lives in VA, and we'll be down there in a couple weeks, want to get it then.

TIA!

I think you are a very generous friend!! Both are great ideas, but I know I'm very particular about what stroller and car seat I use, so I'm not sure how to answer it. Does she have a registry or wish list? Do you know which one she is considering?

You can always do a gift card. One of my favorite gifts is a CASE of all different sized diapers!!!! Just an idea...

the double stroller is a great idea...I like side by side, but everyone has a preference.

hmmm....maybe some GC for dinners that she can order out. It was so overwhelming trying to get meals taken care of for me after our help had left.

Maybe get a PT nanny/mothers helper for a few hrs each day so she can rest? I needed rest so badly and DD wanted to play play play. It was so tough. And I felt guilty because it was June, I wanted her outside, but I didn't know how to do both of them outside alone when DS needed to eat every 2 hrs and was colic.

Thanks! I don't think she will register with this baby, and she has ALOT going on (her mom has cancer and is going thru treatments right now).

Maybe I will just do a GC, along with a few boxes of diapers (NB-size2)

Thanks.

We've been friends since 6th grade and I know she'd do the same for me.

I like the idea of telling her what your plans on and maybe even tell her you were thinking about certain brands that way she has an idea of what you want to spend without fulling knowing.

I definitely say a GC to BRU or Target.... She would get a lot of use out of those.

Joovy Sit n Stand....she will def need this at some point. You can Order it from BRU or one of the bigger baby stores online, and if she doesnt want it she can return it for a store credit.
Wish I had you as my friend!
