New Baby Binder

This gift is a MUST HAVE for all soon-to-be mommies out there!  Here's how it goes - you've packed the diaper bag to an immaculate masterpiece, the car seat is perfectly installed, and your suitcase is efficiently organized to your needs.  Then this happens: the paperwork starts adding up.  You put a paper here, another annoyingly legal-sized paper here, and before you know it you have paperwork everywhere.  They even give you some generic hospital folder at one point, but by this time you've already managed to shove paperwork in every item you've brought.

Once you get home, you've also added the baby's hospital bracelet to your collection, and wait where's that super important social security form I'm supposed to save?

Even the most organized mom needs this new mommy binder!

What you'll need:

• An accordion-style binder with dividers.  This can be found in the office section of Target or Walmart.
• THAT'S IT!  Yep, probably the shortest list you've used since you found out you were pregnant.

After you have purchased the binder (which should already come with the divider labels) it's time to label them.  Here are the labels I used for my binder:

• Birth Certificate & Social Security Card
• Immunization Records
• Insurance Paperwork
• Other Health Records
• Pediatrician Visits
• Other Health Records
• Parenting articles/pamphlets
• Keepsakes
• Milestones
• Receipts/Warranties
• Manuals
• Nursing/Feeding Information
• Miscellaneous

Here's my finished product:

Now regardless of your sleep deprivation, you should be able to find the needed paperwork when you need it, and you'll be able to properly file it when you regain a few more hours of sleep :)
