Wilma, great idea, I am keeping a bump photo journal, all decent non naked type ones , as my due date week before shots from my kids are shocking, eg bra and pants, and they would be shocking to show to anyone, so this time nice clothed ones so the kids can look back and see the changes. I have those boxes for all my kids and have the umbilical cord clip, and hospital wrist and ankle tags and first special baby grow,, booties and hat, first baby soft toy given at birth, and there best school art work etc since , lovely to go through, my kids love to look through. Make sure you save a first size nappy in the box (clean one!) as I only did this for one, and shame as my first born had lovely kermit the frog nappies.
Sol - you are good, that's a great idea , I could learn to knit a little jumper, I can only do a blanket made from basic squares so far!
