Funny. Our class instructor actually joked that we should bring our own blankets so our baby can be "different"

Yeah, both my girls are in the same blanket in their pictures. LO will be too.

I actually have two pictures of me taken with the girls when I held them for the first time, that except for my glasses having changed color frames and the girls' faces being different, they are EXACTLY the same. I was even in the same bed, because the girls were born in the same hospital room 20 months apart.

I also found out the same company makes the hats in the blue and pink stripes too lol

I saw this yesterday. Crazy that one company supplies almost every hospital in the US and many around the world.

We kept those and the girls use them for their dolls now.

I know a lot of people who bring a different blanket/hat for the sake of aethestics but to me its like a rite of passage to have those first photos of the baby in the trademark gear

Our hospital said they are switching to sleep sacks beginning next month. Kind of feel like my LO will be missing out on a rite of passage not getting a picture in the traditional blanket/hat.

I really liked the hospital blankets and found them good for swaddling. DD got a hat that was some sort of cut off sleeve tied with a pink ribbon (see picture.) I don't remember what the boys had though?

Oooooohhhhhhh this suddenly makes me ache to hold my tiny baby in my arms. I don't have these feelings often bc I'm so damn busy i hardly have time to pee let alone dream of baby #2. But once in a while, lately, things like this just trigger that feeling.

Thanks

@perfectlove09‌ Looking at newborn
pictures makes me so excited for a new squishy baby. Whether they are my DD's or someone else's kid!

Our hospital wraps them in blankets that look like that same material and thickness, but slightly diff in pattern. They are white with blue and pink footprints if I remember correctly from the tour.
