Anyone putting together big brother/sister gifts from the baby? I thought it'd be cool to have a little something at the hospital the first time he comes to visit. So far I found a little hospital bracelet that says "Big Brother". Most other stuff I've seen on Pinterest is just coloring books and snacks and stuff. Didn't know if any of you ladies had any other ideas?

Re: Big Sibling Gifts?
@mcdonald-bailey but... I'd have to restrain myself from eating the cake. That's an adorable idea!

My son has a monkey wubanub (you know, those pacifiers with animals stuck to them?) that he loves, so I think I am going to take him to pick one out for the baby. (he doesn't even use pacifiers, it's just a chewy and lovey to him.)
The baby will be giving him some kind of activity tgat will keep him absorbed while I'm nursing. I'm thinking about those melissa and Doug reusable sticker sets.
I'm so interested to hear other ideas!
I also let him pick out a stuff animal when we went to Disneyland for his little brother and he is so excited to wrap it up for him. I also plan on getting him a toy (Lego or something) from his little brother to him with a little card that says, "Looking forward to playing and sharing these with you one day". I may bring a Crayola Mess Free Marker/Coloring book thing to the hospital just in case. But I know my parents will probably give him something little when they come to visit.
10/2009 - TTC#1 Stopped BCP! Let's DO this!
7/8/2016 - FET #2 with Grade B (8 cell - 3 day embryo), fingers crossed this one sticks.
7/19 - Beta was 74. BFP!!!!; 7/21 - Beta was 182; 1st U/S on 8/2; 2nd U/S on 8/16
This is our second....but he has an older daughter from a prev marriage
We opted NOT to buy the eldest anything for delivery.... and I don't see us purchasing anything for either older sibling this time.
To be honest the eldest was so excited about the new baby I don't think she would have cared if we bought her something.
This time he is 5, and little brother is 22 months so I'm not sure what I'm going to do this time since the 22 month old is a little young to comprehend what's going on. I like the baby doll idea!
