"Squirt One Out?"

Damn, I mentioned something about "one of these days, you'll have a bun in the oven" to my fiancee (who was going through a I-wanna-have-a-baby thing) and she smacked the hell out of me.

I think this: why don't you drop all your other products and write her a song... specifically for her... Name it after her, and then present it to her. You are a composer, for the love of Pete....
This Space Left Blank Intentionally.

Well, my wife doesn't speak English, so I can say whatever I want.  Right chubby?

(okay, totally kidding there... she'd kill me!)

And great idea with the song thing. 

Nikolas

Thank you guys!

Vince, I knew you were married but not that you were expecting a little one. It is strange how these little ones can change your whole life, but always for the best. I already have one. If you need advice for babysitting or toddlering or anything just PM me. And of course trust me. I'm just a random guy you met on the internet  ;)

Well I've got to go off-line now. Thanks everybody.

And in a while I'm going to post some pics of the newborn  :D

Hey congrats, Nikolas. Heres what a quick google search got me...

Check it out it said something about unique gifts.

My suggestion would be along the lines of a necklace, it will always fit never mind how big or small she (is) :) becomes.
With clothes she might not loose weight or something and will only make her depressed! Carefull a womens feelings, is like a pricless ming vase. If you break it, its best to dissapear! :)

Other than that depending on how creative you are, you can try and make her something nice. I did that a couple of times and brownie points with poems, own created gifts etc... is priceless like that ming vase. Heres an idea ; this is what I did...

Step 1:
I took three cds that I knew my girlfriend liked, then I taped them together to form a 3d plane or a corner of a box.

Step 2:
I covered this with a really kewl blue paper that textured paper that has funky patterns. (It was for the theme I was aiming at.)

Step 3:
I took that funky see though colour paper! cellephane or something.. And used the pink one to cut out a butterfly shape (the wings) I took copper wire and beaded it with pink and see thorugh beads shaped it to the wings and stuck it to it. I added copper wire antenna with beads at the ends.

Step 4 :
I took green cellephane paper stuff and cut out leave shapes (thinking of it should of used ribbon didnt have though) I took pink lace ribbon stuff and twisted it twirled it into a rose shape stuck the ends together. hairpray kept it in tact then I scented it with rose perfume, which you could include in the gift!

Step 5 :
I used see though cellephane paper stuff put her name on it with the glitterglue and then stuck the butterfly to it. I then stuck the rose to the corner of the cd box shape and added the leaves. I took the see through part and stuck it over the box shape. note this was shaped in triable to fit in nicely.

This might confuse you a little... but if your creative you can invision it. This was done with stuff I had in my house, just the cds I bought earlier that day it took me about 4 hours to do. Completely out of my mind with only part idea I had of what I was making.

The END Result!
What happened you want to know, well first my girlfriend thought it was made proffesionaly, I am a banker BTW. And she was totaly in awe. still has the rose and the butterfly and.. well all of it. Show me the love!

Another thing you can try takes about 30 min of shopping and 10 minutes to assemble is... Scented bed spray, may i suggest vinilla. And that see thourgh paper stuff again Her favourite colour may I suggest pink, and blue. And two stuffed teddys. Or whatever. Place the smelly stuff between the stuff teddies (I used brown and white teddy) Also scented. Then all I did is covered them withe the see though paper, Put in middel of paper and take all point to top. use the different color to make a bow. (Like you tie your shoe laces) Always looks good and only made in a couple of minutes! (But they never know that) ;)

But seriously dont get clothes (size issue) my suggestions
*smelly stuff (perfume; bed spray)
*BODY LOTION!
*Something you made yourself (anything women always like it when you spent time on them, its priceless)
*last but not least music dude music, soothes the soul like lotion sooths the body!

Have fun and good luck! once again CONGRATS!
