Baby gift baskets are something that my grandmother does for all of her expecting grandchildren.

Comfortable shoes are just as important as comfortable clothing. One of my favorite maternity shoes that I wore throughout my pregnancy and beyond was Crocs.

Crocs are room enough to wear when the expectant parent’s feet are swollen and are great to wear in the hospital shower after she has the baby. If you would like to learn more about what Crocs can offer an expectant mother, you should read Crocs, the only shoes I can’t live without.
