A nurse also gave us a hand made beanie which was sweet but it was too small. LOs giant head was kind of a literal sore spot for me so that kind of bummed me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2142860 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 01:27:53 +0000 lemondrop 2142860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Top, we have a couple of both taken for the pets to sniff. I heard an interesting NPR story on these a couple years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2142130 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 13:11:22 +0000 jape14 2142130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the first one. Our nurse gave us a ton to take home - we probably have at least 5 or 6? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2142127 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 13:07:40 +0000 BadgerMom 2142127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really don't remember. Hmm...</p> <p>Our hospital puts the babies in turquoise fleece halo sleepsack swaddles once you're in the postpartum room, so that's all I have pics of LO in.</p> <p>ETA. After going back and looking at pics, neither. The blankets are light turquoise waffle knit. No wonder I didn't remember... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2142115 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:50:26 +0000 bushelandapeck 2142115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the second one and took one home with each baby. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2142090 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:26:55 +0000 Adira 2142090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the second one: the two thin stripes. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2142070 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:21:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 2142070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>both were wrapped in the footprint blankets...I actually swiped one this last time because DD2 loved it so much I was scared not to have one in case we needed it! ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2142067 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:19:30 +0000 skipra 2142067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the bottom striped one for both boys at different hospitals. The nurse gave us a couple with our first. We didn't take any with our second but definitely used the ones we had when he was tiny. I love those blankets!<br /> @Mamaof2: we also got a knitted hat at one of the hospitals! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2142025 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 11:48:59 +0000 LindsayInNY 2142025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: Walling you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137772 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 08:57:47 +0000 MrsH 2137772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137736 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 08:44:51 +0000 Anya 2137736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: that is awesome, and so smart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137730 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 08:43:04 +0000 Littlebit 2137730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the top one. My husband asked if we could take one and they said no. I started crying about the thought of not having the first blanket he was wrapped in (damn hormones) so he *may* have taken 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137687 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 08:32:32 +0000 Mamaof2 2137687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>found a pic of the footprint one</p> <p>Where DD was born all the babies got hand knit hats instead of the usual hospital one </p> [attach=4342/15/nmjka8.600x368.Untitled.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137628 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 08:12:53 +0000 ValentineMommy 2137628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Top one! We were specifically told not to take it, but we did anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137463 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 05:53:47 +0000 delight 2137463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was different than any of the ones pictures. It was a soft flannel one like the stripe one but just plain blue on one side and plain pink on the other. We never took it home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137460 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 05:23:49 +0000 turquoisemama 2137460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It had little cartoon bunnies on it. I don't think we brought ours home, not sure why. </p> [attach=4716/15/nmjbjp.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137340 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 21:10:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 2137340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Top. I had to sneak it home both times. Eventually I plan to use it as the background in their shadow boxes :)</p> <p>I also have both of their bow beanies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137332 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 21:04:05 +0000 PinkElephant 2137332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughters were both born abroad, so we don't have these :( I really wish we had photos on these and the bow beanies. Oh well - next baby! :)</p> <p>Our private hospital used (and we took home) pink onesies/beanies embroidered with the hospital name and logo, and double sided blankets - one side is solid pink with an embroidered logo in one corner, the other side is white with tiny little prints of the logo (a little cherub) in pink. I'm not sure what the local hospitals used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137320 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:58:11 +0000 Miss Ariel 2137320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The top one. But the hospital told us we could take everything except the blankets so we don't have any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137317 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:54:44 +0000 danda 2137317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our hospital used footprints...love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137311 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:51:24 +0000 Honeygold89 2137311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The top one </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137307 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:49:13 +0000 AngelicOne 2137307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the second one. I was told to take everything I wanted, but I only took one blanket. (We actually brought it home for our dog to sniff to get used to the baby) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137299 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:42:22 +0000 looch 2137299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, that blanket! This is the one thing that I am kind of sad about that I don't have for my son...I gave birth abroad and they don't use them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137295 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:40:27 +0000 reyorra 2137295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the thick stripes one, and have four I think, two from each baby. No one ever told us not to take them and no one ever told us we could take them. The nursery nurse who gave our son his first bath did ask if we had a pet at home, which I later realized was because she would have given us a "birth" blanket to use for acclimation purposes. I figure if they offer this, they aren't too hard up for blankets... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137271 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:20:41 +0000 cmomma17 2137271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first one! I didn't know there were different ones! We went home with two from the NICU! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137268 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:18:48 +0000 Anya 2137268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: haha the discharge nurse said we could take one of the blankets to cover the carseat on our way out and I'm thinking yeah.. I may have already packed 2 or 3 in my bag </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137033 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 16:27:26 +0000 sapphire 2137033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: out hospital uses this animal one. It's the common blanket here regionally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-receiving-blanket-was-your-lo-wrapped-in/page/2#post-2137030 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 16:26:23 +0000 swurlygurl 2137030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ducks!
