I just love baby gadgets, basically anything that makes life easier for moms. I drool over the products in the "one step ahead" catalogs. So here are a few of my favorites that have made my life easier:
Doggy backpack leash--a must for pregnant mommy of toddler, mommy of toddler and infant, and cardinal games. I never thought I would ever want one of these, I always thought it seemed kind of cruel to lead your child around on a leash, then I was pregnant while trying to keep up with 2-year-old.
Sit and stand LX stroller--As soon as I saw this at target, I knew I needed it. It is so cool. There is a normal seat in the front for baby or you can hook your car seat on it. In the back is a jump seat that a toddler can either sit or stand on. Plus, there is a parent tray with TWO cup holders and lots of storage under the seats.
Hotslings!--Saw a friend with one of these and had to get it too. A stylish way to wear your baby around. Very nice to have on trips to the grocery store. When Kaela gets bigger, it can still be used to hold her on my hip, hands-free!
Lily Padz--Sorry, no picture of this product! Every nursing mother absolutely hates nursing pads, but lives with them because the option of letting them leak is, well, not an option. They're itchy, bunchy, and just plain yucky. The solution: Lily padz. They are basically silicone cups with a tacky backing on them that stick to you like a contact sticks to your eye. The pressure keeps your milk from leaking, and you can't even feel them when you wear them. (google "lily padz" to see a pic).

I'm so going to the lily pads site. Jess laughs at me due to my "Hansel and Gretel" trail of used nursing pads all over the house. Just waiting for the horrifying moment when I forget to put them in and start leaking in front of a bunch of 8th grade students. (Thus far I'm super vigilant but you never know after a sleep deprived night when your alarm is your baby and he doesn't go off in time...)
Ohhh, I've seen the sit and stand stroller...very cool. Helps make toddler more independent by giving the option of sitting or standing! Still not sold on the leash, though I'm only toting one. I know enough to never say I'm never going to do something. : ) Rebecca
