Besides, you'll never experience being pregnant for the first time again. I say milk it for all it's worth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368622 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:17:27 +0000 mrs. wagon 368622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg. I LOVE THAT. I put a lot of the stuff in the baby book but the shadowbox is adorable!!! I hope I still have all of Wagon Jr.'s stuff... I don't think I have the hospital onesie but I might still have his going home outfit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368619 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:15:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 368619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I know I love it... you're making me want to get pg again :P boo on you!! hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368615 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:14:09 +0000 PrincessBaby 368615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: That is super cute! DH made me promise no more clothes (I really did get in big trouble because we're building a house and he says she has too much!), so I'm cut off:( I have really slowed my roll lately- just a couple of bows and headbands:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368604 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:08:13 +0000 Mrs. Pen 368604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: aw thanks :) I only finished the crib skirt though :P I still have to make his sheet. He has been sleeping on a quilt that is tucked into the sides of his crib lol!</p> <p>OMG I just found the cutest thing on easy and I think you should get it for Harper hahahah!! I totally am tempted to get it in case I ever have a DD! </p> [attach=1597/12/mcqj9p.360x480.il_570xN.387502541_448e.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368601 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:05:43 +0000 PrincessBaby 368601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: I think those are so cute! I saw one on Crispygal's and Lydg's DDs! But I think my hospital uses the old school ones:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368599 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:04:38 +0000 PrincessBaby 368599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I love those! You're so talented you could probably make hats like that! And sell them! I cannot sew a button on a shirt, so I am forced to buy from people who can! I saw the crib set you were making for Cobi and I was like, "Wow. I cannot imagine being able to make that!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368597 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:02:33 +0000 Mrs. Pen 368597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: oh! I totally get it... if I had a DD I'd do the same lol although I go pretty crazy with DS. I just posted a picture on IG of how many dress shirts and sweaters he has!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368596 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:02:11 +0000 PrincessBaby 368596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Well keep your fingers crossed that it's actually cool here in FL in December! Sometimes we'll get weather in the low 60s/high 50s in Dec and everyone freaks out and wears North Face jackets and stuff- lol, so she can wear her little hats:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368595 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:01:52 +0000 plantains 368595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: at my hospital, the Gil hats have bows attached anyway. I love the shadow box idea, but so much of that stuff is already in her baby book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368594 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:01:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 368594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: ummm you totally have me looking a hospital baby hats on Etsy and now I want one for when I have baby #2! ahahahah!!!! I LOVE this one - love yellow.. and chevron! </p> [attach=1597/12/mcqiyz.450x600.il_570xN.389258130_5ey0.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368592 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:00:31 +0000 PrincessBaby 368592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I am a sucker for getting caught up in the moment and being totally overcome with NEEDING something super cute for her:) She has a few other hats too- like the cute animal ones, and um- we live in Florida where she'll probably get no use out of hats. I just tell myself that it's okay to be out of control for her since she's the first, and maybe I'll have calmed down by the time #2 comes along:) You should see her closet. DH almost passed out when he came home this last time. I got in big trouble! I know it's crazy but I can't help myself when it comes to her!!!! Hopefully we'll have another DD one day and I can re-use everything:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368585 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:55:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 368585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Oh! and FWIW Cobi wore his hospital hat for weeks after his birth! It was cool out and he needed to stay warm; plus babies need really warm environments because their temperature-regulator doesn't quite work so well yet. So you will probably get a good amount of use out of it :) alllll $18 worth ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368580 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:53:00 +0000 Mrs. Pen 368580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: It is really cute but I think you could have either got it for cheaper, attached a bow yourself or gotten a different style hat for the same price lol<br /> We got a plain white one with a pom - for a girl it would be totally easy to dress it up with a bow! :):) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368577 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:51:19 +0000 sorrycharlie 368577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol, love the hat.</p> <p>I didn't buy a shadowbox yet but I did put away all the things for it in a box in her dresser! I also saved her first teeny pair of socks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368572 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:49:15 +0000 PrincessBaby 368572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I am ridiculous- I know! I saw it on a mommy blog and I thought "That is SO much cuter than the normal hat they wear at the hospital! She must have that because that will look so much better for her first pictures in this world!" When it came in, DH totally gave me the stink eye. But now I feel better because it will look really cute in this shadow box-lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368569 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:46:40 +0000 PrincessBaby 368569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I know!!! Me either! I feel like I'm going to be such a more organized/creative parent thanks to Pinterest! It really is like opening the door to a whole new world-lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-shadow-box#post-368566 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:45:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 368566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: haha you paid $18 for a hospital hat with a bow?!?! hahaha!!! you are so funny.</p> <p>I thought of doing one of those :) not sure. I'm scanning most of his stuff into the computer and using it in his digital baby book anyhow... </p>
