I know I mentioned this book before Addilyn was born, but I have to share how we used it because I'm pretty sure it's been my best idea in terms of baby projects or presents for Addilyn. The first time I read this book in Barnes and Noble I cried. You can partially blame it on hormones but it also is the sweetest book I've ever read.
We brought the book to the hospital, along with a permanent marker, so that visitors could write a note to Addilyn on the pages. The book is now filled with sweet messages from family and friends that love Addilyn so much!
My favorite part of the book is that we had the nurse put her footprints on the last page. I was quite impressed that in my post tramatic birthing state, I remembered to ask Chris to get the book out while they were doing her footprints.
Sadly a few of her toes started smudging so I bought some sealer spray and that has seemed to work! I'm so glad that we have this book. We already read it many nights before bed time and I still get teary eyed once in awhile. I get excited thinking about Addiyn being able to read and understand how many people were so excited to met her!

That is such an awesome idea. So special!
Funny you posted this....I just got this book in the mail today for the same reason! I can't wait! Now I wonder if I'll be able to remember the footprints!
I LOVE this book! What a fantastic idea that I am totally stealing for when my best friend has her baby.
Her feet came out cute. We had the nurses do the same thing with the same book and one of his feet looks like a big blob!
That is such a good idea!!!
I love this idea & I'm stealing it for whenever Jesus blesses us with our baby. I hope that's okay ;)
THIS IS AWESOME! Ive heard of doing this at a shower but never at the hospital! Such a neat idea!
That is our FAVORITE bedtime book! We've been reading it every single night for the last 18 months. And, I still get teary eyed reading it.
I LOVE the idea of guests signing the book and the footprints at the end. I may have to borrow that idea if/when we have another baby.
Aw I LOVE this idea!!!
