So, DH and I are expecting our second baby in February and we're going to have our ultrasound in two weeks...and this time we're going to find out the sex of the baby (we didn't last time).
I'm thinking about getting started on some thank you notes and some baby announcements, but which set to get?
Bundle of Joy
In the Wild
Zoofari
I've seen really cute cards with each set and I'm not sure I want all three. I keep thinking that In the Wild or Zoofari would be better because I can use them for more than just baby cards.
Congratulations ! I just had my second baby in July and we are finding it all much easier the second time around.
I like the set Wild About You - you could easily use it for all your baby stamping and then again when the first birthday rolls around. It works great for both genders too!
Do you mean Wild About You? In the Wild is retired. I think Wild About You is a great set and is very versatile. I've been using it for a baby book and baby shower invitations, but I've made quite a few cards with it including one for my hubby.

hands down - Wild about You - extremely versitile for all types of cards...for all occassions...plus the added benefit of being solid stamps so less work (i.e. no coloring)

Also, Wild About You is a solid set -- you will make cards faster with stamps that do not need to be colored in, KWIM?? and, then you can use it for birthday cards!

I just have to vote for Bundle of Joy, I love the way I can vary the look of it by watercoloring vs. the bold stamp in Wild About You. It can be used for other cards too, here's one of mine: Spotted Teddy by cindybstampin at Splitcoaststampers
I was leaning toward Wild about You (that's the one I meant...not In the Wild!) because it had an elephant and my 19 month old son loves them! But that dang Bundle of Joy keeps popping up! Cute card Cindy!
I would say get bundle of joy if you are making announcements. I think bundle of love is cute too. If you like Wild About You, I would say get both I have the wild about you set and it does make cute baby cards. But I like the stamps that come with bundle of joy. I like the announcment part that comes with it to be all your info when the baby is born.

I would get Wild About You. I am actually thinking about getting it for myself. I think it would make great baby and kids cards plus it would work wonderfully on zoo scrapbook pages. I also agree with the bold image versus coloring. I have to be in the mood to color or it comes out yucky!

this card is so stinkin' cute!!! I love how you used the DSP instead of coloring it in!!! BRILLIANT! and then to tie it in with the torn paper... you are a star, Cindy! My hero
Also, in my humble opinion the Bundle Of Joy is just Baby. The In the Wild seems more boyish. I don't see any pink in that one.

In the Wild is incredibly fun and cute and I use it a lot. It may not be quite as obviously "baby" as other sets, but IMHO, that just makes it more versatile and a better investment.
But Cindy's adorable card with Bundle of Joy makes me want to run out and buy that set--and I DON'T need any more baby stamps, LOL!
Which set to choose???
