Mother’s Day is an equal opportunity holiday meant to celebrate all mothers; grandmothers, stepmothers, mothers-in-law. So don’t overlook the most excited mother of all, the expectant mother. Make sure to pamper mom-to-be with breakfast in bed, taking care of the housework, maybe a foot massage, and, of course, a gift or two. Here are some ideas:
For the Techie Mom: My Pregnancy Digi Time Capsule ($39.95): Pregnancy journals are so 20th century. Keep your pregnancy memories organized with this little USB drive that is preset with everything you need for your digital journal. The software allows you to upload things like ultrasound pictures and heartbeats, answer fun questions, and create videos of compiled uploads. You can even share your journal online.
