I bought a box today for LO's newborn keepsakes but I'm not sure what to include! So far I have:
- hospital hat
- ultrasound photo
- hospital bracelet
- ID tag that was in hospital bassinet
- newborn photo
I'm debating whether or not to include her going home outfit.
Extra credit for those who post photos

i didn't include the going home outfit because we hope to have any future sons wear it home, but i did put in one of the shirts he wore (that they provided) while we were in the hospital.
also a family photo and his birth announcement.

My LO's shadowbox has his going home outfit, his hospital bracelet, hospital hat, newborn photo, photo of him on the way home in his car seat, a card with his birth stats, and his name spelled out in small wooden letters (his name is only 4 letters long). I will try to post a pic later!

@jmarionsmith: I love it, especially the big R! I may have to steal that idea for my shadow box 
@Mrs. Taco: That pink bootie is precious!
What did you use for the box background?
@autumnlove: yup

It's on my to do list for DD before her 1st birthday and I want to display it near the gift table so I am saving this thread! (Thanks) I have seen really cute ones on Pinterest too.

These are so cute! I have the stuff saved (hat, wristbands, footprint, etc) but haven't done anything with it..maybe now I will (14+ months later...)

@betsyboop: lol ok so I'm not the only one! I didn't know if I was supposed to be "over" keeping that stuff since it's been awhile already...

@betsyboop: Thank you! A good friend's grandma knit it for us I used fabric and secured it to the back board with hot glue (well..the back of the back board, like the same way you refabricate a cushion...does that make sense?lol)

@Mrs. Taco: So cool, the fabric is really pretty!
I finished LO's shadow box, will post a photo tomorrow!
