2nd Trimester

2nd time moms

I am planning on buying some small items for DS for when the baby is born so that he will get small gifts here and there if someone would happen to buy the baby a gift so he doesn't feel left out.

Any ideas or suggestions? I don't want to buy anything big because his birthday is a few weeks before EDD.  Here are some things I have thought of so far:

play doh/accessories

coloring books/crayons

bubbles

little cars

  • Maybe a Big Brother shirt?  Books....dry erase crayons and a dry erase board....
  • Neat idea!

    Puzzles, books, sticker sheets, paint w/ water books.

  • We are getting DS a "big brother care basket", that will be loaded with things he can do with the baby - books to read, stuff like that.  We may also consider putting stuff for him to do in there, like coloring books.
  • we are doing the same thing, i'll probally just get him some books, maybe a tranformer since he is obsessed and a Big Brother Shirt.
  • I'm planning on buying a few "big sister" tees and matching outfits for DD and LO. I already showed DD a few matching outfits online and she loved them! Also, books are good and maybe a new DVD or two? I didn't see how old your DS is, but we are enrolling DD in a big sibling class at the hospital we are delivering at also.

    ETA: oh your DS is still quite young, but yes I would just do the crayons, books and tees and just continue to include him in everything that has to do with baby and how important his big brother role is!

  • Great ideas.  I think I will do the same.

    Stickers, play-doh, books, puzzles, and a new movie are all things I think will be great for my DS.

    We are going to visit friends that just had their second and I think I will put together a little gift for their son as well.

  • what a great idea! I liked what someone said about a basket. I may make one for my DD & DS for when we go to the hospital. Not only will it keep them busy, but also make them feel special. I might put a disposable camera in mine since mine are older so they can capture their versions of "special moments" too!
  • For us, definitely a big balloon for DD, since she gets "balloon envy" and I'm sure people will get us big balloons for LO when he's born.
  • We're getting DS some things he can play with at the hospital (since we're going in for a repeat c/s) and a shirt/hat.

    Some ideas:
    Coloring book / crayons
    Books
    DVD (bringing along a laptop to play them on)

    We thought of toy cars also, but immediately my mind flash-forwarded to a rogue car on the floor as I try to get out of the hospital bed, or as a nurse comes in, LOL. The toy cars will have to wait until we get home Smile

    DS is also staying with my Mom, so that in itself is quite a treat for him. We're also ordering a special "new family" meal and a cake for our first dinner as a family of 4, so it's special for all of us.

  • I think all the ideas listed are great.  But I am also including a DVD.  That way DD has something to do at the hospital other than be bored!

  • I was thinking of getting ds his own doll with a bottle so that he can feed his baby while I feed the new one.  That way he can be like mommy.  I like the idea of books he can read to the baby- but my ds won't be old enough to read- so maybe things he can teach to the new baby- like Thomas the trains!
