Alright you lovely ladies I need some ideas!
My sister is about 4months pregnant with her third baby. She has a3 y/o and a one y/o right now.
She is having a hard time because people around her are not celebrating this new edition. She told her MIL that she was pregnant and her response was "Why do you need another baby, isn't two enough?"
It crushed my sister. So I'm working on getting an awesome gift together to celebrate her family and the new baby.
My sister LOVES to write, she i great with words.
One Idea I had was to buy her a really nice journal (or something like that)
I'm also working on drawings for her little ones.
I need more ideas though!
Anyone know of a good place to find a journal or something like that??
Or any other great ideas to celebrate this new baby??

What can I do next?

A special book that celebrates the new baby and mothers bond. Signed with a personal message from you.
When I was pregnant with my 3rd the whole world was shocked, upset, judgemental, donw right unsupportive. I found a book about Mothers and Daughters and it made me cry. I picked up copies of my oldest childs favorites and a few sentimental favorites of my own.
I knew my daughter was a beam of light before she was ever born. I think I loved her even more because noone else wanted her. She was alllll mine. I loved her so much already and I was upset noone else could be happy. When she came, she was noones favorite but mine. She was akward and ugly and unsociable. But I would hold her and rock her and read her that book and tell her how much I loved her and she turned out to be the sunshine in everybodys lives. She is such a great gift. She brings happiness to all the people that didn't want me to have her. She's a beautiful vibrant, affectionate 4 yr old now. I still pull out the stack of books I bought for her. I love you forever, On the Day You Were Born,

First bit of advice is to not over do it. In years to come the older kids will want to know where the journal is from when she was pregnant with them, or the newest one will want to know why all of the special things were given.... its a thin line.

Do things that you would do for any pregnancy. Help her plan the nursery, save up coupons for diapers, formula, clothes, etc. The baby won't be here until Marchl/ Easter time frame.
Buy little books like Peter Cottontail for the baby

How about you interview the family with one special words of wisdom about the upcoming arrival, place the quotes and sayings in a frame that has many different places for several pics. Then get some pics of her kids and place them in there with her hubby and her in the middle.........may take some prep time, but would surprise her that there is a lot to say of encouragement words to those that have not shown it. It would be a great display for the family room wall or hall way in her home..........try to get an ultra sound pic too !

Maybe a charm bracelet, with a card that says "3's a charm!". It would be a way to acknowledge that the third baby is just as special and loved as the first and second. And a cute piece of jewelry for your sis as well! Good luck :)
