Actually, we are doing all three of your ideas and then another... After I posted that question, I went ahead and bought her a vase (figuring if it was inappropriate, I could take it back), a leather bound journal and we already had a scrapbook that we'd bought for her. We will not be giving her the scrapbook until our "Entrustment Ceremony", so I really wanted to have something at the hospital. I have already started to scrap a few pages so that when he comes I can just add pictures before giving it to her. Either every Christmas or every birthday, I will send her two scrapped pages of the events from the year until he is at least 18. That way, she will have a scrapbook filled with his life events every year from birth to 18.
I also asked her if I could do a first year keepsake for her. It will look similiar to a calendar. For instance, the first month will have a few pictures of him and then the calendar will be a record of all the things he did that month, milestones, funny things that happened, etc. I will probably send this to her just after his one year birthday, so that I could include those pics as well! She said she'd love this!
Yes, we are SO excited! It has been incredible to watch God work out all the details!
