When my sister was expecting her first-born, I had written to her,
It is such an instinctive emotion, it simply cannot be put into words. And while we do our utmost to keep our little babies safe from even so much as scraped knees, I cannot help but be pained by the mindless killings of elephants for their ivory.

According to scientists, elephants display many of the emotions that we do. A mother elephant teaches her young to be independent and to be caring of their young. Isn't that what all of us parents hope to achieve as we graduate the College of Parenthood?
"What can I tell you about Motherhood?
It has to be felt to be understood."

If you are moved by the plight of these gentle and loving creatures, please support WWF by signing their petition to save Africa's elephants. Next to actually going and catching the poachers ourselves, this is the best we can do.

Gender neutral nursery works great if you have decided to leave the gender as a last minute surprise. There are some amazing neutral bedding themes available online and in stores. You might also have come across nurseries showing giant wall decals of giraffes or monkeys swinging from branches.
