I particularly like the alternative baby gift idea and the 'time capsule'. I have newspapers from the day my son was born but am now wishing I'd thought to put other stuff aside too - I'll have to see what I've still got lying around that I forgot to throw out! Thanks again for a great post. What a lovely piece! I particularly like the alternative baby gift idea and the ‘time capsule’. I have newspapers from the day my son was born but am now wishing I’d thought to put other stuff aside too – I’ll have to see what I’ve still got lying around that I forgot to throw out!
Thanks again for a great post.

And wow-- wouldn't it be incredible to have three Matador kids running around Mexico? Now there's a dream I can get behind! Thanks, Sarah!

Definitely– and your blog about Layla’s birth (my favorite piece of writing about birth ever)–shows just how important those notes are.

I'd never heard of Upromise. Sounds great. The only thing I might add to the points you made is to try and write (even though it may be very difficult) your thoughts and feelings and even just little notes and details during the labor and delivery. This is more for the fathers than the mothers (who will be fully engaged at the moment) but dads, this whole time can seem to come and go as if in a dream, and if you can try to slow it down a bit and take notes, it will help you and your partner revisit these moments later on.
