When both of my kids were born, I wanted to be sure that hubby contacted all of our family and friends to let them know the good news. Although we both would have liked for everyone to find out sooner, with all that goes on in the hours after a baby's birth, it was difficult to notify family and friends as quickly as we would have liked. It's such a precious time...one where we could bond with our baby and enjoy all those first moments with them. That's why I thought Baby's First Phone Call was a really neat service for new parents and am happy to have been introduced to it.
Baby's First Phone Call is an automated call tree that allows new parents to notify friends and family of the arrival of their little one without having to make dozens of individual phone calls, or leaving some friends and family to find out from someone else before you have the chance to tell them yourself.
So how does it work? Well...with Baby's First Phone Call, the expectant parents set up an account before the baby is born and enter the names and phone numbers of all the people they want to notify when the baby arrives. Then, after the baby is born, they make a single phone call and leave a personal voice-mail message of any length with all the details they want to include. The system then places calls to each of the phone numbers in the account. If the person answers, they hear the happy message. If they don't answer, the message is left on their voicemail or answering machine. In either case, there is an option for them to leave a return message that the new parent can pick up at their convenience.
I think this would have been great to have when Kaelyn and Kaden were born. It would have been comforting to know that we weren't forgetting to call someone and that no one was the last to know. It would definitely make a fantastic baby gift for anyone you know who is expecting.
