Throw out your boring old measuring tape to find out how big that belly is.  The Mommy Measure allows you to measure and journal all in one place.  Mommy Measure is a measuring tape that is cloth.  Besides having the standard measuring marks, it also leaves room for Moms to record information about their pregnancy.  You can write how big you were each week, along with cravings, kicks and other highlights of your pregnancy.  It includes heart stickers to use on weeks when you hear your baby's heartbeat, along with a sharpie for easy writing.  Retails for $15.

The Bib Drying Rack
http://www.mommygenuis.com



I admit it.  I have found bibs growing mold in my laundry room.  I have also hung bibs to dry on my faucet... only to never have them dry because someone is turning on the water 100 times a day.  Annie Pryor had an aha moment and invented The Bib Drying Rack.  Clean your bibs in your sink and hang them to dry on the drying rack.  Great for nylon bibs that wipe off easily, and washcloths.  Some moms put them on their counter top, others put them in the sink when they are done with the dishes.  Either way - your bibs will be clean and dry for the next feeding.  Retails for $29.95, gift sets with Bumpkins Bibs are also available.
