My Mom is officially on her way home, just boarded her plane. We had a pretty tearful goodbye this morning. It's hard to know I'm not going to see her for a while after she was here for 5 weeks, which FLEW by!
My MIL was also here for a week helping out when Ellie was born and first came home and has been checking in about every other day with us. She is an LPN and used to do family planning/practice so her advice has been invaluable with Ellie while we were working out her weight/input/output issues.
I would like to get them both something as a Thank You gift, but not sure what. Any thoughts? It's my Mom's first granddaughter and the first grandbaby for MIL because DH is a only child. Thanks & hope everyone is having a good day ![]()
Re: Gift Ideas?
I know my mom would love to have a picture of baby. What about a very pretty frame (and could even say something) and a nice picture of E? or even the whole family?
If they carry bags you could find a cute bag and have E's picture put on it.
Could also do a nice photo album that they could put pictures of E in it when you send them pictures (plus they can show off to their friends).
do they like jewelry? I have bought a few things from this etsy seller and have always been happy
