Pregnancy was such a special, exciting time with so many things to look forward to in each trimester. There were also a million questions and concerns running through our minds, which is why we loved reading What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Having that as a resource (now a website too: WhatToExpect.com), was a real lifesaver that let us relax and spend more time enjoying the pregnancy and planning for the baby shower and the wee one’s arrival.
Our well-worn copy is now among our baby keepsakes, along with personalized baby onesies, albums, and handmade quilts. So when a friend is pregnant, we send them to WhatToExpect.com for pregnancy and new mom tips, and stock them up with the following baby keepsakes and new mom gifts.
For Baby:
Personalized childrens gifts make the perfect baby keepsakes (shown clockwise from top left: Name-o-Saurus and Flutter By personalized baby onesies by Petite Lemon; Pewter cup by Things Remembered; Hoot Hoot personalized growth chart and A to Z alphabet poster by Petite Lemon; and bracelet by Tiny Blessings)
