Making a "babybook" for the birthmom

Do any of you have any suggestions for making a keepsake for the birthmother? Im not sure where to search for such a thing to start this. I want to make something for her..she didnt get to spend much time with us at all or say good bye to us or her baby girl. Any suggestions??

Thanks!

If you have digital photos on your pc, You could make a baby book using those. One site I know of is shutterfly. You can pick softcover or hardcover, add photos and captions, etc.

I saw one that someone made for a newborn and it was great. You could also get a small keepsakes box and incude other items, like a pair of booties/ shoes, etc.

I know I wanted a clip of my twin boys' hair after their first haircut. I would also like one of their baby teeth. It probably sounds dumb but I'm missing out on those kinds of things.
