eek, needles!

Friday, March 17th, 2006

This is comedy GOLD:

So I’m driving home from work to pick up Sue to take to her pre-induction testing-

Me: ’so- I hope the tests today aren’t too unpleasant…’
Her: ‘yeah- it won’t be anything compared to tomorrow, though- I get poked with a LOT of NEEDLES tomorrow morning! Eeee!’
Me: ‘… Erm… and don’t forget that whole LABOR thing too, now…’
Her (small voice): ‘I don’t LIKE needles.’
Me: *laughs*

Isn’t that just awesome?!?

This is way cool!  The Lullabub.

A robot that could rock your baby to sleep in his crib. And this isn’t a Will Smith movie. The Lullabub has four modules that are placed under each leg of your child’s crib. Each module produces a soft rocking motion—like the suspension of a car—with four settings and an automatic timer to shut it off after the child drifts off. Look for it sometime before the end of the year.

How neat is that?

Oooh, I’d like one of these!

Wow, this thing is very cool-

Every parent has an underlying fear of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), so enter the Respisense Buzz by Pretoria IT engineer Hans Pietersen. Looks like a tube of dental floss but can really protect babies by "triggering a cellphone vibrator motor inside their nappies when sensors detect that breathing has stopped for 15 seconds." It also has a built-in breathing stimulator that will wake the baby to begin its breathing before the alarm is sounded.
