Thanks for all the fun suggestions on what to add to my Hospital Bag from yesterday’s post! It’s a crazy sort of deja vu happening getting all the final pieces to the puzzle in place as we prepare for the arrival of “the new guy.”
I know Brooks is still so young – only 18 months – it’s such a fun + playful age! I love it! But I don’t know how much he really understands when we talk about baby brother. I ask him where the baby is and he points to my belly but that’s pretty much it! I am happy we are having these two so close together in age – don’t get me wrong, I’m fully aware it’s going to be a ton of work, but it’s going to be great for them in the long run. They are going to be {fingers crossed} besties and hopefully twins! Haha!
In an effort to help Brooks be a little more prepared for his brothers arrival I’ve been doing a little research on some good books we can read with him – before and after the newest little man gets here. We have #1 and #6 on the list below but I wanted to share with you some of my picks and see if you have any other suggestions for me! Would love to hear them!
Also – if you have more than one child, did you do the whole “gift from baby” at the hospital for your older one? If so, what did you get him/her? Again, Brooks is a little young to really remember or understand fully but I think it’s still a really sweet gesture – and something cute we can remind him he got when he met his brother for the first time! Any suggestions would be appreciated!
one / two / three / four / five / six / seven / eight / nine

An oldie but goodie but we loved the Berenstain Bears “New Baby.” We gave it my son as a way of telling him I was pregnant (He was older – 6 at the time) It’s just such a cute book, as are all the Berenstain Bears books!
