Baby Shower Gift

My sister in New York is having her baby shower in a couple of weeks. Last I heard, there were going to be a couple of hundred people. She's having a pool party, and invited women, men, and children. I wish I could be there, but it's just not possible right now.

I do need to send a gift, though, and had planned on making her a name sign. For those who have never seen my name signs, they are made of wood, and I use a router to carve the name in the wood. Then I paint them up all pretty, and give them away as gifts. Her three boys already have signs I made, so she asked me last night to make one for Jake, the new baby. I told her I had already planned to, so now I want to get her something that she is not expecting. I wish I had the money to pay for her to store the baby's cord blood. Cryo-Cell is having a special right now where you can save $725 on their U-Cord service by using the code HOT. These cells, in the future, can save the life of the child they are collected from. There is also a 1 in 4 chance that one of her other boys could benefit from them. These cells are being used to treat over 75 diseases, and hopefully in the future, they will treat even more.

I guess she'll have to settle for a crocheted blanket. I know she'll love it. I made one for her six year old son, but I didn't know how to crochet when her other two were born. I need to get started, though, if I want it to be finished in two weeks. I'm quick, but maybe not that quick.
