What is an appropriate gift for the third baby boy in a family?

My friend was hoping for a girl this time, and about 5 months into her pregnancy she began to think that she didn't want a third child. So this little fellow is in a pretty tough position. I don't think she should have gotten pregnant a third time, but I do want to celebrate the life of this child. I am also planning to bring a meal over when I bring the gift. Please give me some advice! Thanks.

oh how sad. This is why women shouldn't get pregnant specificially just for one gender. I can understand wishing to have a specific gender but if thats the only reason one gets pregnant its the wrong one. She'll probably warm up to the baby when it gets here though. If you're going for something special then get him a small bear from build a bear, a homemade quilt or something he can keep as he gets older. If you're looking for practical then diapers and gift cards are always great.

Any baby's birth should be seen as special. A baby, any sex is a joy and should be treated as such. Most mothers thank their lucky stars when the baby is born healthy, but even when they're not, we love them and care for them as best we can.





I hope your friend realizes that boy or girl, that baby boy will love her as his mother and want her to love him just as much as his older siblings or the baby girl she thought she needed to have. So what if she's can't dress this one in pink or have a little girl to pass on girl stuff to. Boys have sensitive sides, enjoy lots of the same things girls do, like to be pampered and hugged, and even wear a certain amount of jewelry.





Saving bonds, money for his future, clothes that will be worn by him first, a special toy that won't have been worn out by his older brothers first, something simple that will be kept in his keepsake book or box for him to remember his childhood by.





Lots of parents take hundreds of pics of their first child and then don't have the time to take some of their next children. Maybe a photo album or baby book with some pictures taken of the new baby to start his mom remembering he's worth getting to know.
