I deemed that this year the girls were old enough to appreciate the Newborn Nursery experience. At a store in the mall, the girls got to pick out their special babies out of over 30 different ones. The babies weigh 5 pounds and are weighted like newborn babies. While wearing hospital gowns, the girls checked heartbeats, counted toes, changed diapers, tied bows, and posed for photos.
The girls insisted that both babies be named Emily. My heart was a little tender watching my little girls do all the new mom things that I realized that I wasn't there to do for them. All tenderness left when I had to carry a screaming Aly out to the car because she wanted her baby to ride in the stroller I had brought to push Abby.
The next day, as I was taking both babies up to the girl's room I realized that they had the same faces just different hair and eye color. Abby hadn't cared which one she got so I got to pick and then Aly insisted on anything but what I liked. While Aly was rocking her baby she noticed the one she had picked out had brown eyes instead of blue like her. I had the "nurse" trade it for the one of the ones that I had tried earlier to convince her to get. I had no idea that I had picked the same face. I knew I was opinionated, but had no idea that subconsciously I knew which face in 15 baby doll faces I liked.

Carey has one of these dolls too. Wait till you are somewhere in public and people are giving you the oddest looks... sometimes they even say something to you about the way you are carrying your "baby". It's hilarious to see their faces when they discover you aren't really a horrible parent and instead the baby is just a doll. Kinda fun to screw with people's heads! LOL
I have never heard of this before!! How stinkin adorable! Of course there is not one by us but maybe we should start one!! Good business idea! I will have to run it by Stephen.
