What is in your LO's keepsake box?

MissBroody · Jun 2nd, 2010, 06:51 AM

The newspaper thread got me thinking about this. We have a lovely blue stripy box with a plane on it that reads 'my memories and keepsakes' and we kept Harrison's:

Cord clamp
Both our hospital bands
Tiny babygro he came home in
12 week scan photos (20 week ones are framed)
4D scan photos and DVD
Newspaper from day he was born
'' Its' a Boy! '' banner that was on my front door when I came home
All his cards bundled up with a blue ribbon
Hand and foot prints on a piece of card
Spare birth certificate
'baby on board' t-shirt I always wore when pregnant
Bounty pack I got from my first m/w appointment
A little blue teddy
My angelsounds doppler lol
Hospital notes (well, the letter they give - i'm gutted that the midwife keeps pregnancy and post-natal notes

loved reading over them, I always read over my mum's from when she was pregnant/had me)

What about you?

mostly similar to you although I have his actual cord stump and the first baby grow he ever wore.

So glad im not the only one that kept his cord stump

pee pots are brilliant for keeping it air tight.

Most of the rest of the stuff is the same things like scan photos, first baby grows, cards from family, birth certificate, first pair of tiny socks, hospital bands, a (unused) newborn nappy, foot prints.

I have

Her scan pics,
newspaper from her date of birth
both our hospital tags
her little card that was in her cot
her first babygrow (so cute, its a tiny prem one!)
her umbilical cord. Yes you read that right and yes it's manky and shrivelled but I keep it in a sandwich bag!

her personalised banner from her christening
my band from when we first went swimming
her first dummies
and all her cards she got from when she was born, plus any mothers day/fathers day ones.
and as of friday all her birthday ones!

12 weeks scan pic
20 weeks scan pic
4d scan pic and disc
cord stump and clamp
Our hospital ID bracelets
Hand and foot prints on a piece of card
Cards
First babygro
One of her old dummies
local paper from the week she was born
couple of magazines from the week she was born (for me in hospital

)
when she's outgrown her favourite rattle that will go in there as well, it can't be prised from her hand yet!

MissBroody · Jun 2nd, 2010, 07:21 AM

There was a hard smelly piece of stump still stuck to his clamp that I cut off, couldnt bring myself to keep it LOL. Ooo tiny socks, must add those! The babygro he wore when born got thrown away with my rubbish when we left hospital

but the one he wore is dead cute, and tiny

I'll keep adding to it as he gets older too - in mine that my mum did I have birthday badges, christening invites and my first teeth lol..
