We got dd berenstain bears and little critter's new baby books. Her big sister shirt was from cafepress. We made her a big sister bag for when DS was born too...I got a small tote, ironed on some glittery letters that said Big Sister and filled it with things to keep busy at the hospital. She still carries it around!
We took DS to a sibling class at the hospital. We went a little early but my friend is 9 months and we went together. It was great, they got to see the hospital room and babies in the nursury. They pracitse holding a "baby" and feeding and diaper. He loved it.

We haven't told DD yet, but I went to the bookstore and looked through a bunch of books. I liked "I'm a big sister" by Joanna Cole.
