Like:</p> <p>If LO is at daycare/school, who picks up LO?<br /> If you can't make it home, where to meet up? (should be 1 location and a backup) Also and additional oot location.<br /> Out of town numbers to call if local calls go down.<br /> What items to have on hand in case there is, say, no power for a week.<br /> Packing checklist in case of evacuation.<br /> Family code words.<br /> etc.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-guides-checklists-and-printables-would-you-like-to-see-on-hellobee/page/2#post-27810 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 10:14:05 +0000 sbjmorgan 27810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First birthday list - you know, party planning stuff<br /> Toy recommendations by age - this is a big one for first timers, sometimes its so hard knowing what to buy!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-guides-checklists-and-printables-would-you-like-to-see-on-hellobee/page/2#post-27713 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 01:19:17 +0000 lemondrop 27713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just found this while searching for something else. </p> <p>I definitely second the birth plan, I'm trying to put one together without trying to sound too crazy. </p> <p>Also some kind of guide to the first day or two at home on your own with an infant.

I'm glad it's nothing permanent.</p> <p>By the way, I just decided to do a Very Hungry Caterpillar theme for our 1st birthday party coming up. Spent about an hour browsing and having fun creating our invites. It seems very overdone, according to the internet popularity but that's ok, it's always been our daughter's favorite book and I've never been to one personally. We may do the carnival theme another year though since our yard would be ideal for it. Maybe when she's a little older. Looking forward to the guides though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-guides-checklists-and-printables-would-you-like-to-see-on-hellobee#post-17061 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:39:18 +0000 Mrs. Bee 17061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: he fell on his arm at the playground. he couldn't move his arm and our pediatrician told us to take him to the er to get an xray. it popped back into place by itself in a couple of hours while we were at the er.</p> <p>it's happened a couple more times since then, though never as severe. so we're very careful not to swing him by his arms. some kids are just more prone to it. our pediatrician showed us how to pop it back in place -- bend his elbow like he's throwing something over his shoulder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-guides-checklists-and-printables-would-you-like-to-see-on-hellobee#post-17052 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:30:55 +0000 Boogs 17052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Wow!

I got it from a very old CA Kaiser online plan and tweaked it. When I showed the midwife at our hospital in a 6 month visit, she said it was very 'gentle' (like not bossy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-guides-checklists-and-printables-would-you-like-to-see-on-hellobee#post-17033 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:56:03 +0000 anewme 17033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know how I missed that one!

In addition to listing our preferences, what I found striking about the sample we got from our doula was how NICE it was. Instead of "we want this, we don't want this" it was all phrased as "We are hoping to have an [adjective] birth, and would really appreciate your help and support in doing so. If you could do [X], and refrain from doing [Y], that would be great." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-guides-checklists-and-printables-would-you-like-to-see-on-hellobee#post-16031 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:19:31 +0000 daniellemybelle 16031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe there is a printable for what to pack for the hospital? If not, definitely that. I think a birth plan checklist of some sort would be good... even if it was a list of questions to talk over with your doctor/midwife/partner/doula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-guides-checklists-and-printables-would-you-like-to-see-on-hellobee#post-15717 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 01:46:15 +0000 looch 15717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A car seat guide is a great idea, it would be even better if you could find a certified car seat technician to write it, because there is so much to getting a proper fit in your vehicle!</p> <p>Another guide I would have found useful is for travel tips! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-guides-checklists-and-printables-would-you-like-to-see-on-hellobee#post-15704 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:29:34 +0000 Boogs 15704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Birthday printables for a carnival birthday!
