Hi there!

A couple of weeks ago, I was pleased to see that someone had contributed a new baby story. Excited, I went to read it thinking "what's it gonna be this time; most stories submitted are so funny and wonderful." Well, this time I was instead moved to tears... Make sure you read about Bridget at http://www.easybabylife.com/the-story-of-a-mother-who-didnt-give-up.html And post a supportive comment at the end of the story!

It's about time to start thinking about Mother's Day. Or start acting, rather. Give small hints to your partner and don't forget your own mom (and yourself, especially if it is your first Mother's Day! ;-) You'll get a couple of shopping tips at end of this newsletter as usual.

During April, Easy Baby Life has also started to get an "extreme makeover". Well, maybe not extreme, but if you don't recognize the site from you last visit, it is not because you have come to the wrong place! Same content, new look!

Now on to what's new at Easy Baby Life this month!

Have fun with your baby!

Birth Positions

If you're about to give birth, it certainly won't hurt to learn a bit about birth positions. You certainly don't have to lie on your back (not so good) or stand on your knees. There are other positions as well that will contribute to a complication free childbirth.

How to Conceive a Boy or a Girl

If you followed the news last week, you probably stumbled on the newest research confirming a connection between mom's diet and the gender of her baby. Read all about it here.

And take a moment to think back on your own diet at the time of conception. Did you eat a lot of cereal? Conceived a boy? Share you experience at the bottom of this article and read other moms' stories.

The Baby Help Line

The Baby Help Line is as active as ever. I haven't counted the number of questions answered this month, but it is sure keeping me busy. I like it though ;-)

Here are a selection of the questions and if YOU have any experience to share with the moms asking for help, please do by adding your comments and tips.

Shopping Tips for Mother's Day

Now, this month's shopping tips will of course focus on mom.

For yourself... I don't know about you, but I definitely find it hard to combine being a new mom with focusing much at all on looking good. Wanna play? Try the services at www.dailymakeover.com to pamper yourself for Mother's Day! Maybe I'm childish, but I really think it is amusing to upload a photo and try new haircuts, make up and so on... You get a 3 months membership for just $14.95or 12 months for $29.95.

I have an appointment to cut my hair in three weeks - playing with new hairstyles right now and really having fun!

The second tip is more for making YOUR mom happy.

Finally (well, it is Mother's day only once per year) you just have to check out the Mother's Day jewelry at www.shimmerandstone.com/mothersday-gifts.html And if you buy something before May 9 you'll get a 10% Mother's Day discount. Nice! Just remember to enter the coupon code MOM8424 when checking out.

(Only shipping to USA and Canada, unfortunately, maybe complaining a bit to them...?)
