Any tips on not bawling my eyes out at the hospital? I am kind of emotional I cried pretty bad at the wedding. Who knows how bad it will be when I see my niece in my sister's arms. God help us...

don't hold back

congrats to you and your family! :beer:

(btw, all the suggestions previously mentioned were great....well, except the plastic bag)

Drum set! But thats only if you want them to go insane hahaha. If you want a nice normal gift, go for the blanket. I still have my security blanket stashed away somewhere...

Does she plan on breast feeding the baby? What about feeding the baby breast-milk through a bottle. Some doctors recommend using a breast pump so you know how much the baby drinks and such. Try getting her a breast pump, or a bottle warmer since young ones can't drink cold stuff.

Not a bad idea, but any pump that's going to work worth a damn is over a couple hundred dollars. :Q Trust me, the ones that you can get for under a hundred are absolute crap.

He never said there was a price limit. Yea, thats true.

He should just get the bottle warmer then. Like 50 bucks for a nice one, 20-30 bucks for a regular one.

You can also start a custodial account with sharebuilder.com and get her started on her first million. Note: have to wait for her to get a SSN first. If you know anyone with an account, you can get $25 deposited in your new account for free if they send you an invite.

With a 529 plan he can start it and transfer it to the niece as the beneficiary when she's born.

How about a decerative tree of some type. When we moved into our house, we planted a weeping cherry tree.

The tree would be the kid's tree, and she could watch it grow over the years.

Defintely a 529 educational plan

so that everyone can invest for college for the little gal.

edit: geoff beat me to it, but i agree with him 100%
