The state that S lived in provided a basic pregnancy info book, which she filled out and gave to us. We didn't know anything about it, though we're very happy to have it.
I would ask for copies of ultrasounds. I don't think that's an unreasonable request, as many pregnant women share those with pretty much everyone they know. (Or maybe that's just my sister and friends? :P)
S also wrote letters for us and for DS. I haven't opened the one that's just for him. I don't feel quite right doing that. You might ask her if she could do that. Maybe write a letter to the baby to tell the baby anything she would like the baby to know.
We did give S a journal as part of a "hospital bag" that contained some beauty stuff, a pair of slipper socks, and some toiletries.
Hope this helps!
