BabyChime
Sweet sounds of peace and serenity
Similar to stuffed animals for newborns that mimic mom's heartbeat from in-utero, the BabyChime creates a sweet, soft sound when worn during pregnancy and then can be used to soothe when baby actually arrives. Dancing on a 34-inch silver necklace, BabyChime, either in a heart shape or ball, hangs directly over mom's growing belly; the perfect accessory for pregnancy and a great new-mom-to-be gift! These popular chimes are currently out of stock, but if you order now, receive free shipping and a 20% discount (use code “20AUG”) and your item will ship after August 17th. www.babychime.com

DaysAgo Digital Day Counter Demystifying fridge contents
In the life of a new parent, sleep (and subsequently sanity) are in limited quantities. We say, use your coherent moments writing out bills, not trying to figure out how long that bottle has been sitting in the fridge. This Digital Day Counter attaches to fridge contents, like baby's milk bottles, baby food containers, freshly prepared foods and leftovers and counts days the product has been opened, created, tasted it, etc. The DaysAgo counter comes in three styles: Magnetic Style for jar lids and refrigerator doors, Suction Style which is perfect for glass and plastic containers and Band Style which snugly fits bottles, jars and glass containers. www.mom4life.com
