Parental Survival Guide

We have found some great friends here in Boston, we're truly blessed.

They threw me an impromptu baby shower of sorts before heading to various locations for the summer. It included my favorite meal, on the grill to boot, and the greatest of conversation.

They then brought Tim out of hiding to present us with our parental survival guide. His and hers companions.

Mine included everything from dry shampoo to bags of chocolates. And of course the cutest little leggings for the already most spoiled little girl. 

Tims toolkit was cleverly in a toolbox. The bottom was filled with masks for stinky diapers, duct tape for when diapers and clothing were not cooperating and mom wasn't around, his very own prenatal vitamins (!), chocolates to force feed me because "happy wife, happy life," and diet coke because diet coke saves lives.

The top included pajamas with zippers because no one should need to be bothered with buttons, hats with ears because Tim thinks that those are the sweetest things ever, "I love daddy" pacifiers, and pitch perfect just because.

So what do you think? Sweetest and most thoughtful gift right? What would you add to a survival guide for first time parents? Right around 22 weeks along I'm feeling wine would be perhaps the best thing to add!
