What are some good gifts for a couple with a new baby? Not baby gifts but something they'd appreciate.
A visit from a cleaning crew! Yummy premade dinners, or a GC to a nice dinner place and an offer to babysit. Maybe a soft lap blanket? Best gift we got HANDS DOWN was a tivo but I'm guessing that's out of your price range. Oo! What about 3 months of Netflix?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have a friend I kept offering to babysit for until she finally said they have more offers than they could use, especially given the fact that if they were lucky, they were both home from work with an awake baby for an hour a day, and they wanted that time with the little one. I'm sure that will change in the next couple of years...
Jess, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Jesse, IME offers to babysit went unfulfilled unless said person also gave me a reason to leave the baby for a bit of me time. Like the person who offered to babysit while I went to get a backrub? Yeah, baby!

Ooh, that is a good one. I kept saying they should just go to the bar up the street and have a burger and a beer! They were like, eh.
Yay, Tom!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, that was the most pointless doctors appointment ever. Him: "Your thyroid levels are normal, see? (point at paper) You don't have to come see me again." Me: "Then why am I still feeling this horrible? And why were my levels high on the previous test?" Him: "You were only a five on the previous test. People don't show symptoms at that level." Me: "Then why was I showing symptoms? And why am I?" (note: several other doctors have said that I'm pretty obviously hypothyroid.) Him: "Thyroid symptoms are very vague. Just try to get some exercise, and don't worry about it."
I'm seeing another doctor next week.
