In http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-settle-on-a-name-before-baby-was-born, Rachiecakes mentioned that they personalized their son's stocking before he was born.
So I was wondering if you'd bought, made, ordered, registered for, etc any personalized items for YOUR baby before they were born?
We might end up with a Christmas ornament or a wall decal in her name, but we don't have anything YET.

I plan on having his name in the nursery one way or another, and I'll do that project before he's born...does that count? Lol. If so, then yes. Not sure if I'll buy anything else though, I would be against it!

I had DS's name put on his diaper bag and I had his initials monogrammed on a hat before he was born.

I had a wall hanging with DS's name before he was born, but nothing yet for DD

I bought a print off of Etsy featuring her first initial to hang in the nursery.

I would be WAY too afraid that would take a look at the baby and decide the name I had chosen just doesn't fit (I see it happen lots in NICU!).

So far, we've made a little nameplate for her bedroom door. We also bought a onesie with just the first letter of her name on it.

Nope, mostly because his whole name wasn't 100% set in stone before he was born.

If we pick a name before our baby is born I am sure I will do this. I think I would like to get some sort of personalized art for the nursery.

We will definitely wait till the baby is born to do anything with their name. I'm not really into personalizing things, so I'm not sure if we'll do anything in their room or for them with their name on it. We'll see once he/she is born.

I did some DIY things with her name on it before she was born. My LO's name is Rose, so even if we didn't use her name for things we have tons of things with rose's on them too.
We also got lots of personalized gifts. A banner for the nursery, a chair from pottery barn kids, a picture frame, a diaper cover with the name on her tush, and like I said, lots of things with rose's on it.

I didn't! my LO still doesn't have any personalized items. 
She definitely will by Christmas!

We didn't because I insisted on seeing him before saying the name we'd picked was THE ONE.

I wanted to but didn't *just in case* baby turned out to be a boy (they told us girl but you never know...).

She has a Christmas ornament with her name on it, and I've made a couple of diy things here and there for her. Hubs is pretty set on her name though, so as long as she's really a girl, I'm not worried about us changing our minds.

No, I knew my boys were going to be micropreemies, and I was too scared to put their names on anything. We didn't even say their names till birth.

We are on the fence, while I do want to do a personalized plaque, I am now leaning towards doing just her first initial framed.
