E helped wrap the gifts so I think she gets it! I'm sure she'll end up taking the pink bear once the gift has been opened though lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pack-los-hospital-bag#post-1745795 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 14:39:28 +0000 swurlygurl 1745795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Did you figure out gifts for them to give to the baby? I was thinking that would be fun to do for L when she comes to see us at the hospital, but can't think of what... I got a stuffed puppy for Sister that L could bring to give her, but then I think L would just want to keep it for herself... haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pack-los-hospital-bag#post-1745746 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 14:22:20 +0000 HLK208 1745746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just thought I would comment in case anyone else searches for ideas in the future. </p> <p>We ended up doing a recordable book that talks about how much we love them. I think E will be excited to hear our voices when we're away. I wrapped it for them and it's ready to go. Cheesy but it's sentimental! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pack-los-hospital-bag#post-1722460 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 23:22:34 +0000 HLK208 1722460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: eeek! I didn't really have it with B or E! A few contractions here and there but nothing like this - so I'm sure I have a few more weeks to go but hopefully it's a quick labor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pack-los-hospital-bag#post-1722356 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 21:52:57 +0000 sandy 1722356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: did you have lots of false labor with B or E? My two friends had false labor for weeks and both delivered within 2 hours of their real labor starting. They said it was fast and painful but much better than laboring for hours at the hospital. They both said recovery was way better too. Sooooo excited for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pack-los-hospital-bag#post-1722029 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:46:40 +0000 matador84 1722029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: there are lots of apps you can download tO make it extra fun. You could use book creator to make a book about bringing baby home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pack-los-hospital-bag#post-1722009 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:38:37 +0000 Kimberlybee 1722009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An art project or drawing that you did together with each child individuality, big bro and big sister shirts!

I just hope I don't get some random answers lol.</p> <p>@matador84: good idea! Both would love that.</p> <p>@sandy: I know! I have just over 3 weeks left but false labor keeps coming and going! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pack-los-hospital-bag#post-1721980 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:29:05 +0000 sorrycharlie 1721980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww!! Well clothes, loveys, favorite pillows. I like the books idea. Maybe amazon a big sis book for E?</p> <p>Could you ask them what they would like to give n? They might have some cute ideas! And they'll probably be psyched to give it is it's their idea :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pack-los-hospital-bag#post-1721975 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:27:20 +0000 matador84 1721975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! Already!? Can you record a fun video on an iPad for them to watch? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pack-los-hospital-bag#post-1721972 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:25:24 +0000 sandy 1721972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: what?!?! How has the time flown by this quickly! I can't believe it! That's just crazy to me...but soooo super exciting!!! I'll be stalking this thread for ideas :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pack-los-hospital-bag#post-1721700 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 16:37:06 +0000 HLK208 1721700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to pack LO's bags this weekend for when they stay with my parents while I'm at the hospital (delivering #3). Other than clothes, I kind of wanted to make it special - put in a few new books maybe and a note from DH and I to each of them. Also, maybe a gift for their new sister when they visit at the hospital?</p> <p>Any ideas of what I can pack? Any good books that will make the transition easier? What type of gift can they give her?! </p>
