What did you keep?

[Charlotte91]

With DD...

Pregnancy Test
Every single ultrasound report (and there's lots of them!)
A couple premmie nappies, smaller than Huggies Prem.
All her hospital ID bracelets.
Hospital Stickers (Womens, Children's, Bendigo SCN)
A couple beanies she wore
Her last NGT (feeding tube)
Her first outfit from RCH that was handmade
Her coming home outfit
A couple different EBM bottles and RCH EBM labels.

There's a few other things, but I can't think.

Dirty nappies? WT...

I kept her hospital admission bracelet and cot tag, ultrasound stuff, and the blanket the hospital wrapped her in. That's about it. I don't collect anything body related... hair or teeth or umbilical cords or poo O.o.

Hospital admission bracelets and cot tags and I also still have ultrasound pics. I've also kept their coming home outfits as they were handmade by mum. No way I'd keep dirty nappies!

pregnancy card thing
cot card from hospital
first suit she wore
going home outfit
umbilical stump and clam
preg test
u/s pics and dvd's
cards we were/she was given at birth/baptism/each birthday

we have two little boxes of "stuff" from when she was born that things get kept in. it doesn't create clutter or anything like that - and given i am something of a sentimental person and love most of the stuff mum kept for me - and wish she had kept other stuff too. she has my first set of glasses (i was 13 months old!) - but not stuff from when i was younger that i wish i had now... i'd rather keep too much and let her get rid of it if she doesn't want it, then to not have it and have her wish i did kwim?

After we got married, Professor's parents gave us a box of Professor's kiddie stuff. In there was a little box with a tissue in it.....and lovingly wrapped in the tissue was Professor's foreskin

Umbilical cord clip
Name card from the bassinett they slept in at hospital
My and kids wrist bands
Coming home outfit
Cards
U/s pictures

The record you made with each feed, dirty nappy at hospital.
I also have alot of the information you get, immunisation and other paper information.

With each baby, I made sure the same photographer company came around the same day after birth in hospital, took virtually the same black and white photo and have them all framed exactly same.
Also with each one, when I got home I had the hand a foot cast all done on around the same day after birth as well and framed with the birth information on it.
