I think it is tacky to not send a birth announcement to someone that was invited and gave a gift at a baby shower. My mom doesn't think it is necessary because none of her friends kid's have sent birth announcements even though she has been invtited to their showers.

Answer
I have been to about 8 or 9 baby showers and never have received one-- I thought that tradition had been pretty much dried out? Maybe thats just around here (in Virginia)...

What would be a thoughtful gift for my husband?

I want to get my husband a gift commemorate the birth of our first child together. Our baby is due in about 3 weeks, and I wanted to get my husband something special. Men are often left out, such as everyone doting on the pregnant mom, and the mom gets the baby shower, and the flowers brought to the hospital, etc. I want to buy my husband something nice so he is not left out. I just do not have any idea what I am looking for. HELP!

Answer
I got my hubby an engraved cigar cutter for all the nice cigars he was going to hand out.

But depending on what hobbies/interests your husband has.....use those for ideas. If he has a metal baby that he adores (his car of course!!), you could do custom plates, that nice piece of chrome he has been wanting to add under the hood, rims, etc. For the NFL minded hubby, matching custom jerseys or one just for him- ex: "Sam's Dad". The guy who loves music.....tickets to an upcoming concert for a 'guys night out'.

Best of luck to you, him, and the wee little cherub :o)
