I hate showing up empty handed and no one really wants more clothes, so what was your favorite small gift? This is for a girl if that makes a difference.
Food! My friends would call on their way, and pick up whatever I felt like eating. One brought me Olive Garden breadsticks....another was Mike & Ike's. It was thoughtful, and nice. Also, What To Expect the 1st year book was nice too...

Honestly, just being there. In those early days when he cried I would get so stressed out, which would make him more upset. An extra person could calm him down much easier!
Um, yeah. The Bump be too crazy for pics of my kid.
Gum, chapstick, magazines and hair ties were my favorite gifts (way to go SIL!) while I was in the hospital. It's not for the baby, but mama will certainly love you for it!

I brought a sleep bra & some Nipple Butter to my friend in the hospital. It is THE BEST stuff for BF moms - I never chapped or cracked or really even had any pain and I KNOW its because of the nipple butter.
