I make all my photo albums online. I used Kodak Gallery to make my wedding album and I love the quality.
You build the album online, you can even add captions, and choose the size and way it's printed.
My camera is digital and I almost never shoot in film...unless it's with my Polariod, which I love! But I use digital far more often. And I know I will when my twins are born, too.

Designed from the Chinese Mei Tai baby carrier, Baby Hawk is one continuous piece of fabric crafted to securely hold your baby close to you.
You can wear the carrier on your hip, or front or back, and you can also choose from many designs. Good for newborns and kids up to 40 pounds...that is, if you can carry them that long. (Can you? Seems like it would kill my back!)
I even saw one mom on the website wearing two -- with one baby in the front, one in the back. Strong mama!
As much as I would like to, I don't think I can do that with my twins. One goes with hubs, the other goes with me.

We've all seen the maternity shirts with the funny sayings on them -- everything from Love Hurts to I'm Not Fat, I'm Pregnant.
Some of them can be a bit brash, but this Bun in the Oven t-shirt ($25) from Damo Momo is more subtle.

My twins really respond to music in the womb -- everything from their dad playing guitar to music I play in the house. But what if I had music just for them? Maybe times when I'm watching TV and instead of them listening to the backstabbing comments on Project Runway, they can listen to some soothing tunes?
They can with Lullabelly.

When I first heard the babies heartbeat, I wanted a heartbeat monitor. Then I thought, um, no, I could be spending that money on something much more needed.
Now I see there is an ultrasound scanner!

Some of us swaddle our newborns -- no blankets in the crib. But what if there was a blanket that snapped baby in and kept her securely on her back?
Currently only available online at SnapCozy.com, this blanket --the Snap Cozy ($59.99) -- can be used for preemies and babies up to 1 year old, and can even with sleep positioners if you will be using one of those.

It's a stroller blanket or a car seat blanket, you know, the blanket that keeps baby warm but is able to strap baby in place. It looks like a sleeping bag.
My sister and I were talking and she said I should get two of these for my twins due in December.
I love the sage color of this JJ Cole Infant Original BundleMe ($39.99) from Buy Buy Baby, plus it's fleece -- looks really cozy.

My twins are going to be born just in time for winter, which means the first walks I take with them aren't going to be when the air is warm.
Chances are it will be quite brisk -- glove, hat, scarf, tons of layer weather. Which is why the Mommy Mitten seems like a great idea.

Here's one product I would love to have tried when my daughter was a baby. It's a waist-high baby tub that converts into a changing table. Check out the details and let me know what you think.

Like a lot of moms I made my own baby food. It saved a lot of money, my daughter ate fresh, healthy foods, and it really didn't take much time at all. Are you thinking about making your own baby food? Today's featured item might help.
