In my daughter's box I have a premmie nappy just because it demonstrates how teensy she was
Other than what you have I would put in congratulations cards from when she was born, and if you have a naming ceremony or christening then any trinkets and cards you get from people as gifts.

My brain is so dead! Thanks for reminding me about those things.
Got a newspaper. (our local paper has less than 10 pages a week and that does a huge area around here)
Got some premmie nappies from RCH NICU. They were huge on her!

Apart from what you already have we also have a growth chart with DDs height marked on it for each stage. Her belly button clip thingy (bit gross I know)
We have rose petals that were sprinkled over her head at her naming ceremony and 'letters/ wishes' etc from each person that attended. First shell from the trip to the beach, a piece of the wrapping or ribben from each girft DD received...I want to do somthing with them but not sure what!

lol, I would have kept DD's belly button clip, but she didn't have one. Her op when straight through her belly button.
It's more of just everything she went through in hospital.
Should I get copies of her ultrasounds and put in her box??
What about ultrasound reports?
I know I want to start a scrapbook with her U/S stuff in it.
Hmmm....

I wrote a letter to each DD, talking about the day we officially *met*

I kept the first beanie, first outfit, hospital tags, wires/tubes etc from NICU, DS2 had a belly button clip, DS1 didn't (he had wires and tubes into his) I kept the blood pressure band, the billibands (baby googles for when they are under lights) umm, pretty everything from their NICU/SCN journey. I got dolls made up to their weight/length/HC too. I also kept a stamp and a newspaper clipping. I can't think of anything else.
