Gift from baby to siblings

[KarenM]

Not sure if this is the best place to post this....
I am just packing my labour bag and would like to take a present for the baby to give to each of my DD (2 & 4 y.o) when they meet him/her the first time. I am looking for some ideas - what did you do???

I am due soon with number 2. We have bought a Baby Cabbage Patch doll for DD from the baby, it comes with a capsule like the car capsule so we thought she might like to play mummy along with me :-) We have also picked up a few new DVD's (not necessarily from the baby) that are going to be a treat for her for when I am feeding or settling bubs.

I'm not sure what exactly I'd buy, but I just wanted to say that this is such a gorgeous idea!

Will have to do the same thing when I get pregnant and have #2
Which won't be for a while, considering DD is only 4 months old!

i didnt do it for my other 2 as my son was only 17months old
but im doing it this time as he will be 3
the kids are making bubs a build-a-bear
but not sure what bubs will give them
i am planning on buying them a boy "baby" each aswell

When DS2 was born we bought a wind up jack in the box for DS1 from his brother and had it sitting on bed next to where cot was when he arrived.

we did colouring books and pencils... it was a gift and a way to keep the kids amused! lol

I think I got Kameron a truck when Lachlan was born. I don't think we did anything when Ashton was born as he came 4 weeks early so wasn't prepared.

DS got a big Transformer and DD got a Dora music box thing. We wanted to get them something that would occupy them for a while for when we came home from hospital if DH and i were occupied with DD2. They loved it and it worked well.

When Shayla was born we got Kyson a little Percy engine from her. Seemed like a good plan, but Kyson managed to find it in the hospital room before we even got him to look at Shayla, and after that he only had eyes for Percy, lol!!!

Thanks everyone. I ended up getting a kite for the 4 year old and some dollies for the 2 year old's dolly house. Now I am ready to have my baby
