So my lil cousin is pregnant & I am trying to start buying her gifts now so I can get her more.
Well I have already got her a diaper bag & wanted to fill it up with stuff that she would need but most people don't think to get you. I also want to do another bag for stuff for just her because you dont usually get anything for yourself when you have a baby, it's all baby.
So I was hoping to get some suggestions from yall of what to put in the bags.
The only thing I can think of is teethers & mittens because I didnt get any of either when I was pregnant & didnt think about them until I needed them.

I have been shopping for my Godson for the past week! So far I have stocked up on as much baby clothes as I could find! (its really hard finding cute boy clothes!) I also am getting her a diaper bag and have started to get her the basics to stuff in it! The lotion, shampoo, baby powder, ect. Im also going to get binkies, bottle cleaner, bibs, ect and put in there

receiving blankets, the crib mattress protector things (can't think of the name, they are rectangle and smaller than a receiving blanket), mittens, socks, hats
For the mom: cocoa butter lotion, sounds dorky but "coupons" for babysitting, meals, cleaning, etc, foot massage lotions, chocolate, a book of momisms.
