			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10223  aligncenter" src="http://thelaughingstork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/MilkScreen.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="346" /></p>
<p>1.  <strong>UpSpring Baby Milkscreen Home Test for Alcohol in Breast Milk</strong>.  Well, THIS won&#8217;t make me sound like an alcoholic mother or anything.  *Ahem*  But after abstaining from sweet, sweet libations for nine months, mommy is entitled to a drink or two.  I believe the general rule-of-thumb for breastfeeding mothers is that we&#8217;re supposed to wait two hours for every alcoholic drink before nursing again.  However, if you&#8217;re super-paranoid like I am, then you&#8217;ll appreciate these strips that tell you if your milk is ready for baby, or if it&#8217;s still a White Russian.   <a href="http://www.diapers.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?productId=16522" target="_blank">$9.99 for a pack of 8 strips</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10229  aligncenter" src="http://thelaughingstork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/AventSteamer.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>2.   <strong>Microwave Steam Sterilizer</strong>.  Mr. Candy and I are kinda lazy when it comes to cleaning and whatnot.  No!  I kid!  We are TOTALLY lazy when it comes to cleaning and whatnot.  However, we <em>do</em> care enough about our kid that we don&#8217;t want her sucking on filthy bottles and pacifiers.  (I know, I know&#8230;we&#8217;re parental overachievers.)  The Avent Express Sterilizer is perfect for lazy/time-challenged, concerned parents.  Just fill it with a little water and some of your kid&#8217;s crap, and stick it in the microwave for four minutes, and voila&#8230;!  Sterilized baby crap. <a href="http://www.target.com/Avent-Express-Microwave-Steam-Sterilizer/dp/B000056OUH/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;searchView=grid5&amp;frombrowse=0&amp;node=1038576&amp;keywords=avent%20sterilizer&amp;field_browse=1038576&amp;searchSize=30&amp;id=Avent%20Express%20Microwave%20Steam%20Sterilizer&amp;field_availability=-2&amp;refinementHistory=subjectbin%2Ctarget_com_age%2Ctarget_com_gender-bin%2Ctarget_com_character-bin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&amp;searchNodeID=1038576&amp;field_launch-date=-1y&amp;searchRank=target104545&amp;searchPage=1&amp;field_keywords=avent%20sterilizer" target="_blank"> $30.99</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10234 aligncenter" src="http://thelaughingstork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Boots.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="400" /></p>
<p>3.   <strong>Banana Republic&#8217;s Equestrian Flat Boot</strong>.  I am a die-hard high-heel fan &#8212; seriously, I hiked the Mayan Ruins in three-inch heels on our honeymoon (Smart?  No.  But at least my calves looked good while I slid backward down the hills.) &#8212; so it was tough for me to give them up when I had Skye.  Although I still wear them on special occasions, I&#8217;m not too keen on the idea of teetering on them while carrying the baby.  So I searched for more practical&#8230; ugh, I just said the P-word&#8230; yet stylish options and came across these boots from Banana Republic.  I bought them in black AND brown, and wear the black ones almost every day.  The brown ones are so dark, they look black, so I wouldn&#8217;t recommend them.  But I sure do love me the black boots.  Comfy, cute and great for tucking in your jeans, as is so popular right now.  <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=29096&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=688358&amp;scid=688358002" target="_blank">$160</a></p>

<p>4.  <strong>&#8220;Captivating Cap Sleeve Dress&#8221;  (aka Nursing Nightgown)</strong>.  It&#8217;s hard to feel sexy when you have a baby latched on your boob, but this nightgown <em>does</em> make you feel cute &#8212; which is something expectant and new mommies deserve.  Great for maternity and post-pregnancy wear, the nightgown has concealed nursing slits with easy access for breastfeeding.  A note about sizing:  It is roomy, obviously, so I wear a small now that I&#8217;ve lost the baby weight, even though I usually wear a medium.  <a href="http://www.moodymamas.com/cart/captivating-cap-sleeve-dress.html" target="_blank">$68 (Use discount code MMHOLIDAY09 and get an extra 30 percent off, like I did!)</a></p>

<p>5. <strong> Canon Rebel XSi Camera</strong>.   When I found out I was pregnant, I decided to upgrade our cheap digital camera in hopes of capturing some fabulous pictures of our little one.  A photographer friend recommended the Rebel XSi when I told her I wanted a &#8220;decent camera that wouldn&#8217;t break the bank.&#8221;  Once Mr. Candy and I figured how to, um, put it in auto-focus (Shut up!  I had pregnancy brain!), it has truly exceeded our expectations.  <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/542180-REG/Canon_2756B003_EOS_Rebel_XSi_a_k_a_.html" target="_blank">$565 for the camera</a>, plus <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&amp;Ntt=CA5014EF*&amp;Q=&amp;N=0&amp;A=endecaSearch" target="_blank">$360 for what my friend calls the &#8220;magic lens&#8221;</a> &#8212; which I have yet to get.  Maybe &#8220;Santa&#8221; will put one in my stocking&#8230;?  *Cough* Are you reading this, Mr. Candy?  *Cough*</p>
