Baby Born on 5th Ave
Read this in the paper and couldnt beleive it !
A pregnant woman successfully gave birth to a baby girl on Fifth Avenue across from Central Park Friday as cheering well-wishers applauded the doctors who delivered the child.
Mount Sinai nursing manager Lucille Nassery said she heard the mom-to-be screaming from inside her office - and instantly recognized it as the sound of a pregnant woman.
"I heard a woman screaming and I said, 'That's the sound of someone having a baby,' said Nassery. "That sound is different than someone screaming in horror."
Elizabeth Brew, who was 33-weeks pregnant, and her husband were less than a block away from the hospital in their SUV when the baby's head began to crown, Nassery said.
Nassery, physicians and hospital staff rushed equipment to the middle of Fifth Avenue, where a crowd had formed to watch Dr. Anya Kogan deliver the 4-pound, 13-ounce baby.
The baby girl was delivered in time for staff to rush the 39-year-old Brew to a second-floor delivery room less than a block away - where she then gave birth to a 5-pound, 5-ounce twin boy.
"I'm sure for the mother it was kind of a tense experience but for us it was actually a lot of fun," added Nassery.
Brew, who has two kids home in Scarsdale, was recovering at the hospital. The two babies were expected to remain for a few weeks because they were born premature.

Inspirational Quotes ?
A regional CEO of Apple answered ‘ We will innovate our way through these difficult times’ to the question, What are Apple going to do in response to the market turmoil and economic crisis? He goes on to say the company will come out of this crisis in better shape than they went into it.
‘Innovate through a mess’ remain confident in staff, your systems and products, adapt and change as needed. Change your model and think differently

Nothing is truly ‘mutually exclusive’
Customers are becoming more demanding daily and your business needs to be able to deliver that
Business is not business – business is personal. People like to do business with people they know or have had contact
5-year plans are way to far in advance, 3 in hard enough.
Business is getting quicker and you need to adapt. Not that long ago it took 5-7 years from conception to delivery for the car industry, that’s now down to around two years today for USA! Before email, a Senior Executive might dictate a letter to his PA one day, it would be typed up the next day, sent out and probably received a few days later…that’s a week ! Now the Executive would send it out himself via email and probably expect an answer within the hour! He might even do it at night, at home on his Blackberry.
Speed to market is everything – Sony missed out on the original PS3 date and it cost millions against the Microsoft Xbox 360. Microsoft shipped 10 million units before they blinked !
Disrupt a market or sector – Virgin aim to do this in every sector they go into. Do you SELL or do your customers BUY ?
Good or bad experience – If you have a happy customer they might tell two or three people about you. If you have an unhappy customer, they might tell ten or eleven people – which is worse ?
Don’t let risk paralyse you from taking action, take calculated risks and cover the downside, but don’t not take action. Paralysis from analysis

Baby Gifts
The big day is here!
After nine months of waiting...Your long sleepless nights are over. Say goodbye to morning sickness and terrible headaches. The day you've been waiting for is here! Welcome to the world baby!They say giving birth is a very painful experience but this is also the happiest day for every mother on earth. A healthy baby is worth the pain and the wait. Nothing can ever replace the joy of seeing that little angel in your arms.
A baby is a special gift from God. They’re like little angels sent from above to bring joy to mankind. Look at those little fingers, little toes…it’s really amazing how their presence light up our lives.A baby is a delicate creature and thus they need special care and attention. It’s easy for us now to find the perfect gift for our baby, one perfect example is through the net. Finding the perfect baby gift is just a click away nowadays.There are a variety of baby gifts you can choose from the net. From simple blankets, baby toys, baby clothes to unique baby gifts such as personalized bracelets and many others.
For newborn babies a receiving blanket is the perfect baby gift. It should be made of fine materials such as cotton and fleece. Babies are used to warm environment in their mother womb, so they will really love to have that warm and comforting feeling when they come out of this world.Another fine baby gift for your newborn is a comfortable baby crib. As newborns we all know that all they want to do is sleep…sleep…sleep. Mothers would surely want to see their little angel safe and sound in its crib. It is very important to first look into the safety features when buying these sleeping things.Wouldn’t it be nice to see your little angel wrapped in such comfortable clothes? Another lovely baby gift for your baby is cute but comfortable clothing. It should be made of fine material to suit your baby’s delicate skin. It is best also that it has features for easy dressing up since your precious one is very fragile at the moment.To keep your baby’s head warm, an adorable hat would be a nice baby gift.
We all know that babies have little hair so they don’t have enough protection on their head. Whether you are in door or outdoor these cute hats would surely keep their little heads warm and safe from harm.Little foot…little toes…these sure need protection too. Baby booties are another example of baby must-haves. Baby booties should be comfortable as to keep your baby’s feet warm. It is also important that they could move their feet freely.Mittens! To protect your little angel’s hand, a nice and comfy mitten would be nice. Sometimes we think these are things we really don’t need but come to think of it…these mittens for example would prevent your baby from accidentally scratching her face which is as delicate as any part of her body.Your precious one deserves only the best. Give them the loving they truly deserve!
Why Baby Routines?
I believe my baby routines are very important in helping parents to interpret their baby's cries. They teach parents to understand the difference between their baby's various cries. When following a baby routine, you will start to recognise your baby's hungry, tired or bored cries. When your baby starts to cry, you will be able to look at the baby routine and see what is due next. If your baby is due a feed, you will start to recognise that cry as a hungry cry. If your baby is due to have a sleep, you will learn that cry as a tired cry.At first the idea of a baby routine can be quite scary.
You will think if you have to spend the day clock watching, how will you relax or get on with everyday jobs. What happens if you have an older child, with a school run to do each day? Don't worry, it is possible. Not everyone's baby or life is the same, so sometimes baby routines need careful adjusting to suit your circumstances.
If you find this to be your case, then try to follow my basic rules and adjust the routines to suit your circumstances better.
The feedback I get from parents following my baby routines is that it makes their lives easier. Through following my baby routines you are able to plan things such as doctor's appointments more easily, because you know what your baby will be doing at each stage of the day. If you have older children, they will also gain advantages from your younger baby having a routine, as you will be able to plan activities with your older children, as all the guesswork of what your baby may be doing at what time, is taken out of your day. The best part of these routines is knowing you will have time for yourself and your partner in the evening.
The general feeling I get from parents who are not following a daily baby routine, is that this is often their hardest part of the day.My routines also help babies to feel safe and secure.
Your baby will know that his needs are being met and he has no need to cry. As a result you will end up with a very happy contented baby.

Baby gift parties
Baby Showers
With babies come baby showers.
These are great parties that celebrate life and the birth of a new child into the world, family and community. In some cultures these parties go on for days. The party can be pre-birth or post birth, boy oriented, girl oriented or even unisex oriented. They can be small social gatherings among family and friends or they can be large community celebrations with entire towns joining in the celebration. They can be blow out bashes with celebrity entertainment and expensive baby show gifts or low-key intimate settings. It’s obvious to see that every culture celebrates the birth of a child in many different manners but one thing remains the same across all cultures. That celebration is one of joy, excitement and rejoicing!Planning a baby shower can be a daunting experience as well as a rewarding one. If you are the one in charge of this task and you plan to plan the party on your own there are a few things to keep in mind.
First, you want to gauge the size of the party. Usually contacting the parents of the expected mother or even the best friend (if you are not that person already) to obtain a guest list. Not much can be worse then if you forget to invite that one special person. When this happens it can be a downer for the whole party.
Once you have the guest list completed it makes planning much easier. It allows you to determine how many party favors, place settings, food and drink you will need to keep things lively or the full party. Just guessing on the amount of people you plan to attend the party is a recipe for failure. Failure is not an option! After all, you have an expected mother to make happy!Once the basics of the party are planned you need to make sure the mother to be is taken care off. One of the big pluses for the expecting family is the fact that they will receive shower gifts to help sustain them for the first few months of the baby’s life.
It’s expensive to raise an infant so this is a great opportunity for that family to get a little help from their friends. If the mother to be has announced the sex of the child it makes it a little easier to plan for gifts. If they have not, you will need to stress to the guest that unisex items will be best. This will help to ensure all gifts given will be affective and useful to the parents. Try to get the mother to register at an online store and a retail location. A gift registry makes life very simple for a party planner and also helps those attending the party ensure they get a gift that is useful to the guest of honor.
All you need to do with the baby shower gifts is make sure everyone knows what sex they should be buying for and where they should buy (if the family is registered somewhere.) It’s then out of your hands and fate will be your guide!Once you have that taken care of you need to figure out your entertainment. There are many online guides for Baby shower games that are fun for everyone.
In many cases these games are free or can be put together with general household items. Most people like games because it helps the time pass and it keeps everyone excited about the party. It’s also a good transition between food and diving into those baby shower gifts. Depending on your level of party professional entertainment might be sought out to ensure party goers and the mother to be are fully entertained. This can be expensive but if this is an option for you, it’s likely that you are aware of this.The key to a successfully party isn’t always how much you spend.
It’s the celebration of life that makes it special. It’s easy to hit a home run at a party like this. Simply make sure you celebrate baby and mother above all else and make sure the focus remains on the celebration of life!

This will help to ensure all gifts given will be affective and useful to the parents. Try to get the mother to register at an online store and a retail location. A gift registry makes life very simple for a party planner and also helps those attending the party ensure they get a gift that is useful to the guest of honor.
All you need to do with the baby shower gifts is make sure everyone knows what sex they should be buying for and where they should buy (if the family is registered somewhere.) It’s then out of your hands and fate will be your guide!Once you have that taken care of you need to figure out your entertainment. There are many online guides for Baby shower games that are fun for everyone.
In many cases these games are free or can be put together with general household items. Most people like games because it helps the time pass and it keeps everyone excited about the party. It’s also a good transition between food and diving into those baby shower gifts. Depending on your level of party professional entertainment might be sought out to ensure party goers and the mother to be are fully entertained. This can be expensive but if this is an option for you, it’s likely that you are aware of this.The key to a successfully party isn’t always how much you spend.
It’s the celebration of life that makes it special. It’s easy to hit a home run at a party like this. Simply make sure you celebrate baby and mother above all else and make sure the focus remains on the celebration of life!

Baby old wives tales
4little1s.com the online nursery furniture, baby bedding and baby gifts website performed some research to find out about the various Old Wives Tales that people pass on when they are pregnant to try and find out the sex of the baby.
Speed of the Heartbeat
A tale from the past advises that dependant on the speed of babies heart rate tells you the sex of the baby. If is sounds like a train its a boy and if it sounds like horses its a girl.
In Front of you Or All Around?
In Front of you Or All Around?
Apparently this tale says you can tell the gender of your child based upon where the bump is and how you are “carrying” the baby. If you put on weight and grow all over, your child is apparently a girl. If your weight gain and fill is in front, it’s a boy. Interestingly this was not the case for me….and have heard people say it’s the other way round!
Feeling sick in the morning ?
Feeling sick in the morning ?
According to this myth apparently if you have ‘severe’ morning sickness you are carrying a girl. A number of mums advised that when they had extreme morning sickness it did indeed in most cases seem to be a girl.
Most accurate for boy or girl
The most accurate method of all was one lady advised here method of telling if the baby was a boy or a girl was almost 100% accurate…I asked for more information. It turned out she was a midwife and the ‘tool’ she used was called Ultrasound….ha ha very funny !
Lots of hair
This tale advises if you have heartburn your baby will have lots of newborn hair. This was certainly true for me.

Wedding Ring and hair
One tale advises if you suspend your wedding ring over the bump via a piece of your hair, dependent on the direction it spun indicated the sex of the baby. Other variations of this being a chain with a pendant

Summary
In summary, the myths seem to provide a wide range of ideas but in reality I think it’s a fifty fifty chance of getting it right. Even so, it’s a bit of fun while waiting for the date.

Babies Cot
Baby gear
Your little one will sleep in this until they are big enough for their very own bed and although they might seem tiny in it initially, their little limbs will soon fill it! Moses baskets and cribs provide a nice cosy home for the first few months, but if the budget is tight, it's perfectly fine to skip these and go straight for a cot. You're going to need one eventually anyway...
As with most baby gear, styles and designs vary greatly so opt for one that suits you and the size of the baby nursery. Some cots are extendable or have the handy knack of fully transforming into a bed when your tot no longer needs the protective bars of a cot. These are a practical buy as they offer a bed for all stages from birth to toddler-hood and beyond, saving you £££'s in the process.
Cots can be bought second hand but it's important to buy a new mattress. If you can't afford one, always check the mattress is in good condition - firm, not soft and entirely free from tears or any other visible damage. It will also need a good clean before you use it and buy a mattress protector! Believe us, they are worth it...

Nursery Furniture
Baby Furniture Buying Guide from 4little1s.comIf you or someone you know has recently welcomed home a newborn baby: Congratulations! Pregnancy and parenthood are amazing, indescribable joys. It's also a huge responsibility. You will soon be spending most of your waking life making sure your son or daughter is comfortable, happy and, above all, safe.
If this is your first infant, the responsibility can be daunting enough, let alone the task of navigating a whole new world of nursery bedroom furniture. Never fear! This nursery baby furniture buying guide is here to help you figure out how to buy baby furniture for the nursery that will best serve your needs and the needs of your child.
What you need to know
Most every resource on baby furniture begins and ends with the topic of safety, and for good reason. Safety should be your number one consideration when you're shopping for each article of furniture. Luckily, with consumer advocate groups and trade organizations like the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), you can check products' compliance with an array of rigorous safety standards at a glance. After that, allow yourself some peace of mind! Once you know a product is certified, it can be much more relaxing, easy and fun to choose your nursery furniture.
Bassinets, cradles and Moses baskets
Before purchasing a baby crib, many new parents prefer that their newborn infant sleep in a bassinet or cradle or a Moses basket. Not only are they more lightweight and portable, making it easy to keep your sleeping baby nearby, but many parents also find a cozy, compact bassinet to be a comfort for their baby.
When you're choosing a bassinet or Moses crib, consider how frequently you'll be moving from room to room. Detachable, wheeled bassinets make great two-in-one stroller-sleeper combinations, while no-fuss wicker and rattan Moses baskets are easy to pick up and move. Also, consider how long your bassinet will be useful. While many parents treasure them long after they're outgrown, as soon as your child is able to roll over on her own (usually around 4 months), a lightweight bassinet or Moses bed can tip over, which means it's time to move up to a standard crib.
Cribs
Newborns spend a great deal of time sleeping. It's not uncommon for them to be asleep eighteen hours a day. But don't expect that to mean you'll have many full nights' sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, natural, predictable sleep patterns begin to emerge after the first few months and continue to develop as a baby ages. Most likely, you will become well-acquainted with the act of cradling your baby to and from his crib. Because you'll be putting him down at all hours of the day or night, it's important to look at cribs that make it all the more easy and safe.

Convertible cribs
Convertible cribs are so named because of their ability to transform from baby cribs to toddler beds, and sometimes, to full-size adult beds. Thanks to good planning, they have become extremely popular over the years. They're designed for convenience and stability, and convertible cribs let your baby keep a familiar piece of nursery furniture for years. You may be glad you invested in an expandable, adaptable piece of furniture when it comes time to shop for twin-size bedsteads and children's furniture a few years down the road.

Drop-side cribs
Many drop-side cribs are also convertible, so most likely you will be able to enjoy the conveniences of a convertible crib. One or two sides of the crib can be lowered, making it much easier to lay baby down without waking him up. Different methods of dropping the crib sides are available, so check to see if the crib you prefer has a method that would be easy for you. If you are right- or left-handed or how you hold your baby could make the difference in buying a crib with a one-hand, two-hand, knee or foot-engaged drop side.

Industrial cribs
Not just for day care professionals, industrial cribs make great auxiliary cribs for grandma's house or go-to beds for when you are traveling. They tend to be easier to move, sporting swivel casters and collapsible designs. Window cribs allow an unobstructed view of your baby through clear acrylic panels, and folding metal cribs are lightweight, compact and perfect for when your baby needs to sleep away from home.
Baby mattresses
Baby mattresses (whether they are bassinet mattresses, Moses basket mattresses or crib mattresses) should fit snugly in the bedframe and allow no more than two fingers (one inch) of clearance on any side between the cushion and the crib. Any small space can be a safety hazard, so your most essential mattress specifications are the dimensions. Also take into consideration your baby bed's mattress depth and spring tension. Links have been made between SIDS and soft baby mattresses, so to be safe, make sure your baby sleeps on his back on a firm mattress designed specifically for infants.
Baby dressers

Links have been made between SIDS and soft baby mattresses, so to be safe, make sure your baby sleeps on his back on a firm mattress designed specifically for infants.
Baby dressers
The right baby dressers are as functional as they are good-looking. You might be surprised at how quickly these chests of drawers fill up. With diapers and other toiletries stored alongside baby's new articles of clothing, chest space and bedroom space will quickly become a hot commodity.
Baby dressers with built-in changing tables are particularly convenient for parents who want a changing table near a quick change of clothes. If you wish to use a dresser that's not changing table-ready, you can buy a changing pad that secures to the top of the dresser. In either case, baby dressers make wonderful nursery pieces that are useful after your baby is grown.
Baby Changing tables
Most parents will tell you that changing tables turn out to be very handy. Changing tables usually feature shelving to store changing aides, making frequent changings more comfortable and convenient for you and baby alike. Whether you choose a stand-alone changing table, an outfitted sideboard or a furnishing combined with a dresser, here are some things to look for:
Guardrails: Guardrails should be at least two inches high. A good, cedar wood changing table guardrail will also make it easier for you to keep a handle on your baby while sorting through wipes, diapers, clothing and other essentials.

Safety straps: Any modern changing table should come with safety straps standard. While you will probably become an expert in doing things one handed, taking both hands off your baby for any length of time requires you use the safety strap.
Height: Find something with short legs and a sturdy surface that's approximately waist-high. The less time you spend bent over, the happier and more effective parent you'll be. Your baby and your back will thank you.
Storage: Changing, like voting, is best done early and often, so everything you need should be close at hand. Many changing tables come with a few drawers; the more difficult those are for your baby to open, the better. If your changing table has shelves, store all of your changing supplies in baskets, so you can reach in for a fresh diaper or for baby powder without taking your hand of your baby.
After a few nursery furniture essentials, it can be tempting to skimp on something like a baby hamper. But a baby hamper will reward you in the long run by holding its own against blitzes of dirty baby clothes. Some baby hampers will have a machine-washable bag that detaches from a sturdy frame, to make things convenient. A great baby hamper will last years after your baby outgrows it as an appealing storage solution for toys, extra blankets or anything else you might need to tuck away. Baby Hampers - don't miss them off
Storage and organization
Baby furniture in the nursery is just the beginning. You might be surprised to one day look and find how much you've collected in the ways of diapers, clothes, supplies, toys, books and more. Managing the collection will be a great deal easier with the right storage and organization on your side.
Open baskets are a time-honored, fantastic way to keep your essentials in working order. They keep baby's small, essential items in sight and at an arm's reach. If your nursery is a bit smaller, consider a storage tower that satisfies your hamper and storage needs in one. See the range at 4little1s.com
Some common questions about baby furniture
Some common questions about baby furniture
How can I be sure my crib is safe?
First, check for JPMA certification. Second, beware of used or antique nursery furniture. Crib safety means making sure you have a firm, fitted mattress, sturdy assembly without any missing or broken pieces or hardware, no more than 2 3/8 inches between slats, no corner posts over 1/16 inch high and no cutouts in the headboard or footboard. Anything with JPMA certification won't have hazardous materials, but if you are concerned about finishes or lead paint (especially in anything built prior to 1974), contact your city or county government's lead paint program.

New nursery furniture is expensive. What's wrong with a classic?
The idea of using antique or lightly-used furniture -- especially when money is tight -- can be tempting but risky. While it's a romantic idea to use baby furniture that's a family heirloom, a gift from grandparents to grandchildren or a gift from godparents to godchildren, safety should always be your first, second and last consideration. And if you have to justify new nursery furniture expenses, just remember the deals you're finding on 4little1s.com
What baby furniture will I need outside of the nursery?
One essential is a portable changing pad. Pads with upturned corners do a great job of keeping your baby in place. High chairs are indispensible for when your baby is old enough to eat at the table. Swings can be perfect for putting a smile on fussy babies' faces. Of course, for the ultimate in parent-child relaxation, nothing beats a living room rocker or glider.

Nursery Furniture
Many mums-to-be want to have a lovely nursery for their baby and this can involve getting it kitted out with various items of furniture.
Try to remember in all the excitement that your baby will soon outgrow it and if you are on a tight budget it’s not the end of the world. You may spend a small fortune on the gorgeous brown bear wall paper, matching bedding and all the matching baby furniture but in a few short years they may be begging for dinosaurs, ballerinas or whatever cartoon character is in fashion.
Some pieces you can buy will prove to be really handy and make your life so much easier.
Changing mat versus the changing station
· You don’t need to spend a fortune on an expensive changing station a changing mat will do the job at a fraction of the price.
· A changing mat is simple to wipe clean.
· They are foam filled so it will be light to move around from room to room and has a raised edge to stop your baby rolling off.
· As you use them on the floor you will not have the same worry of your baby rolling off.
However many mums find a changing station easier and more comfortable.
· They are designed to bring your baby up to waist height so you won’t need to bend over or kneel on the floor. A great aid if you suffer from a bad back as a newborn can have over 10 nappy changes a day!( you may need to check out a few different tables to find the correct height for you).
· Many also have plenty of storage space so you can keep everything you need for changing their nappy in one place.
· You can buy them with wheels, which makes it great for moving around and they are normally fixable for safety.
· They have a harness for safety as you will be changing your baby at waist height.
A nursing chair
A nursing chair is a great piece of furniture to put in your nursery furniture (if you have the space). I can tell you from experience, its better to sit in a nice comfy chair at 3am than the floor ! You could even check out second hand shops for a comfy chair which you can paint, varnish or cover to match your baby’s nursery theme. A rocking chair is a fabulous option for you both to sit, relax, feed and rock them to sleep. You may even get a few extra naps yourself!

Baby bedding tip sheet
Baby Bedding Buying Tips For First Time ParentsBuying baby bedding for your newborn baby may seem overwhelming if you are a first time parent. Even experienced parents have a hard time buying baby crib bedding for their newborn baby's nursery.
The good news is you can buy baby bedding that is useful, meaningful and cute AND have a fun time while doing it. All you need to know is the ins and outs of buying baby bedding for babies. So let's find out what baby bedding is all about.
Baby Bedding Basics
The first step you should take before you even think about buying baby bedding is deciding what you need to complete your baby's nursery. The chances are high you will not decide on a theme for your baby's nursery before you start shopping around, so it makes sense to first make a list of baby bedding supplies.
Some baby bedding supplies are "necessary" items that your baby will need. Examples of necessary items including crib sheets, blankets and baby bumpers for your newborn. Then you can start thinking about baby bedding accessories. Let's start by reviewing each of these baby bedding categories.
Baby Bedding Necessities
Crib sheets and light blankets are items your baby will not be able to live without. There are many different varieties of crib sheets and blankets available. Many are made of high quality, soft and durable cotton, while others include a mixture of materials. Baby blankets also come in many different textures including cotton, chenille, corduroy, suede and more.
You'll want to buy a large enough supply of crib sheets so you don't have to do laundry every day. You should also invest in a mattress pad that goes underneath your baby's crib sheet. Why? Babies are notorious for "leaking" out of their diapers, and when they do you will want back up supplies readily available.
Your baby's first blanket should not be too heavy. A heavy blanket may pose a suffocation risk for your baby. Most baby bedding sets come with thin quilts you can place on your baby to keep them warm safely. Receiving blankets are another good choice.
Many new parents have concerns about their baby's temperature, and rightly so. You don't want your baby to be too warm, but you also don't want your baby to be too cold. Flannel sheets may be a good idea for the winter, but an even better idea is dressing your baby in a sleeper and onesie so they have enough layers to keep them warm.
There are some baby bedding sets made of fine wool that have sheets or blankets that will also help keep your baby warm and cozy as they sleep.
You'll also want a baby bumper to protect your baby' s head and limbs. Little baby's limbs can become stuck or wedged between the railings on a crib, and their small heads can press against the railing causing discomfort. So look for a baby bedding set that comes complete with a matching baby bumper if you can.
Baby Bedding Accessories There are many baby bedding accessories you can buy to complete the look and feel of your baby's nursery. Some examples include:
Musical Mobiles
Duvets and Pillows
Nappy Stackers
Toy Bags
Wall Hangings
Window Valance
Moses Bed or Bassinet
Throw rug
Wall Border
How fancy you design your newborn baby's room is up to you. Remember that as your baby gets older, they will have more of an interest in exploring their surroundings. They will eagerly watch a musical mobile or stare up at a cute wall hanging. A wall border and well-designed wall hanging can easily grow with your baby. Many baby bedding collections are easily transformed from a baby nursery to a toddler room.
You can even buy a convertible cot if you like, so you can keep the same baby bedding from the time your baby is a newborn until they are three or four. So keep this in mind when shopping for your baby bedding and accessories too. While your newborn baby will not need a pillow or duvet, a toddler may find much use for it as they get older.
The easiest way to decide what you need is to create a list of your "must have" items. Then start browsing baby bedding collections and start deciding on the types of themes you like. Once you do that, you can review the accessories available for each baby bedding collection and decide which will fit your baby's room best.
Make baby bedding buying a fun process. Involve your partner and have a fun time with it. Your joy and enthusiasm will shine through when your baby's nursery is complete!

Olivers another baby
Jamie Oliver's wife Jools gave birth to their 3rd child today. Petal Blossom Rainbow came in at 6lb 10oz. Congratulations from 4little1s.com...if you need Baby bedding you know where to come
Executive timeout
Here at 4little1s.com we are planning to have an Executive week away, (week in Devon with the kids in a caravan) to think about strategy, (sleeping in late) aggressive and lengthy brainstorming sessions, (deciding if to eat in or out) and blue sky thinking (hope the weather is good).
It is always important in any business to take a step back,(chill out and not rush around so much) and take the Helicopter view, (think the caravan is on a hill) in order to pick low hanging fruit, (think there is an Orchard nearby, failing that a trip to buy some grapes from the local supermarket) and assess the options of going back to basics, (No luxury Gordon Ramsey kitchen here, good old gas stove to heat the beans up).
In order to get up to speed, (must ensure we don’t drive to fast and break the speed limit) and assess our options, (Beach or Park) we need to take a snapshot of the situation, (remember to take the camera, and not the rubbish one on the phone).
Items on the agenda include, can we hit the ground running ? (I can feel a game of rounders on the beach coming) and reviewing our speed to market, (might need a new PC). Finally reviewing our Market share, (wonder who drives the most there and back) and targeting the market, (must pack the Velcro dart board with the sticky balls).
As you can see by being a fly on the wall, (flies in caravan seem to sound louder) it will be an exhausting session full of workshops and brainstorming
