I have been packing up her nb clothes. Sooo little. My LO is going to be baptised in the same gown my sister and I wore . It has our names embroidered on the slip, and my mom knitted the dress!

At this point I feel sentimental about everything, so i'm not sure what to set aside yet. I wish that I had things to pass down to my LO that were mine but unfortunately my mom is not sentimental.
haven't thought of this so far with clothes. we have some super cute nikes (that don't yet fit) that we will prob keep. for now I just think of baby's wardrobe as hand me downs for next LO.
I have a keepsake box for DS, and u need to start one for DD. I kept things like clippings from his first hair cut, his hospital ankle band, teeth, and favorite newborn outfit.

I haven't seen meet the fockers- but I'm pretty sure I'm that mom
When I got my placenta encapsulated the MW that did it took out umbilical cord, dried it in the shape of a heart and put it in a pretty gauze bag. She also took the placenta and cord and placed them on a large sheet of paper making an "imprint" of the placenta before she encapsulated it.
When she arrived w my pills and began explaining the other gifts I was kind of grossed out. But now at 6w PP, I am very sentimental about them and plan to keep them. (Though not on display on anything.)
I saved the outfits my children came home in and their hats from the hospital.
My mom left my bio-dad when I was two and most of my photos and special somethings were left behind. The good thing is my grandmother has some photos. I do have a blanket from my early childhood that DS1 uses when we visit my parents.
We are making a shadowbox with all our little sentimental keepsakes in it (at least from her newborn stuff). So far it contains her first outfit (a dress and cardigan), her hospital anklet along with my husband and I l's bracelets, the name tag from her "bassinet on wheels", and the clip from her umbilical cord. We will also include her footprints in it.
My mom had saved up some special pieces of my early childhood in hopes of passing them to my future daughters, but we had a house fire when I was in high school and lost all that. However, my grandmother found the dress that HER grandmother was baptized in, so Miss Mina will be baptized in her great great great grandmother's dress. That's pretty neat!
I didn't realize how unsentimental I was til I read this thread! I kept all of our hospital bracelets for our book but that's about it. We will keep all our clothes because this is our first baby but when I think about it, I'm not terribly attached to the outfit we brought the boy home in. I'm more attached to the ones I find him adorable in. He has a little fox newborn one and the dinosaur one for 0-3 (and 3-6 now since I loved it so much). And actually I'll probably keep the first outfit my husband and I picked out for him, when we first found out we were pregnant. That's pretty much all I would keep at this point.

I plan to make a shadowbox too. I am also going to put one of our favorite newborn outfits, his hat, and hospital bands in there. I am working on his baby book which will also contain mementos from the hospital. I always loved looking at my baby books when I was older. That is really neat that your LO will be baptized in your great great great grandmother's dress. How special!!

Edit to fix grade school level typing from mobile
I actually had the same thing done. You wouldn't happen to be in VA would you? The lady who encapsulated my placenta did the exact same things...

stormygrace nope I'm in CT, but it sounds like it must be a standard encapsulation thing that they do? How are you liking the pills? I think mine are helping but it's hard to differentiate from other things that are helping.

They're the only thing I'm taking and I've had no supply issues or super PP emotions at almost 6 weeks PP so...they seem to be helping from what I can tell. Only thing I've got is D-mer..so I can tell whenever I'm about to let down. Though it kinda comes in handy when I'm out somewhere.
