First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage... Where The Hell is My Baby Carriage?

So... that's NOT where babies come from?

Magic Nursey Babies were probably my favoritest dolls in the whole world in the late 80's and early 90's. Looking back now, I wish it were so simple!

To think that this is how I used to feel motherhood would happen. They really pull the wool over our eyes don't they! And look, my twin baby comes in the mail.



Oh good, your baby was born pre-mature! How adorable!

But, even though the marketing really turned out to be diappointing, I can see some of my craziness has a long history and even maybe was premotions!

-My first Magic Nursey Baby was a boy. I immediately needed to get another one because I wanted a girl.

-The most distrubing and romantized product from this line (that I couldn't find a commercial for) was the  pregnancy set I had. You bought a box that had a front wear backpack essentially. You couldn't see how many babies were inside this "belly". The outside had hidden buttons to feel the "heartbeats" and then you open the velcro and you get 1,2, or 3 "newborn" babies! I had 3. With all these treatments, maybe childhood marketing wasn't so off the mark afterall??
