- Cord Blood Registry Contribution Opportunities
No. We are not harvesting our baby's blood for some diabolical, robot-filled future.
We have however, registered to have our baby's cord blood (stem cells) extracted and stored in case (A) she might need it if she were to fall ill with one of the 80 serious diseases —leukemia, for example — that can be treated by stem cells or (B) one of us or our immediate family members might need this precious resource.
This is something that we really believe in, and we want to embrace the potential that modern science affords us.
If you are interested in donating to help us offset the cost of extraction or yearly storage fees, you can do so for as little as $25 at cbrgiftregistry.com
- MIYIM Organic Plush Animals (Various)
We've been eyeballing these ever since we knew we were going to have our little one. Aside from the obvious all-natural hippie reasons, they are adorable classic stuffed creatures for nap time and beyond.
Available at: Whole Earth Provision Co.
- How to Behave and Why by Munro Leaf
Because we wouldn't want our child to throw up on your couch and just leave it there.
Available at: Whole Earth Provision Co. and on Amazon

- High Sea Symphony Set (Melissa & Doug)
This is a product that we haven't seen in person anywhere else other than the Whole Earth Provision Co. at Preston and Forest. A perfect gift for those who want to help us encourage our daughter to be a percussionist.
Available at: Whole Earth Provision Co. and apparently on Amazon

- Other Goose: Re-Nurseries and Re-Rhymed Childrens Classics
This is a great book that you might not find in the average baby store or kids section at major retail locations. It's a great contemporary take (with a modern aesthetic to match) on classic nursery rhymes.
Available at: Whole Earth Provision Co. and on Amazon

- Half Price Books Gift Cards
Give the gift of literacy, music and everything that Half Price Books has to offer.

- Classical Music
Although recent studies have debunked theories on classical music significantly improving brain development for children, we believe in the placebo effect.
Available through: iTunes gift cards, Amazon, anywhere where music is available for purchase
- Pi Rattle
This one should probably come from our baby's future math tutor, Uncle Nick.
Available on: Etsy (thefreckledelephant)

- Diana Camera Onesie
While we'll do our best to avoid brainwashing with political and religious rhetoric, we are certainly going to preach the creative endeavor to our child.

- All-Natural Wood Rabbit on Wheels
This is the kind of toy that sticks around forever. It's classic in design and can be passed down for generations to come. We highly encourage whomever might buy this bad boy to engrave his/her name in it before relinquishing its sweetness to our forthcoming daughter.
Available on: Etsy (julestatum)
