This is an extra post, just in case that someone in similar shoes feels lead to complete a package for another family. To get some ideas on what to include, I asked the experts at mommiesofmiracles.com, parents that have been there and done that, and the response was overwhelming. I pray that we are able to get more packages like this in the near future, and we are humbled and honored that our first package found the perfect family for it.
This is a suggestion on which items you can include, if God leads you to do the same thing. Please don't feel like you have to add them all; this is just a guide.
Items Included:
Blanket for parents
Swaddle blanket for baby
Planner with pockets for business cards
Notebook
Pens
Chocolates
Book "The places you'll go"
Man's toiletries: shaving cream, razor, toothbrush, deodorant

Relaxing Body Wash for mom
