The Shafer family (my mom’s side) bassinet arrived! I am so so so excited to finally be able to use this wonderful family heirloom with Taylor! This bassinet is over 70 years old and has been used for all the Shafer family newborns since my Uncle Sam and my mom were born. There are name plates on the bottom (sorry I couldn’t get a good pic) with all the babies that slept there their first few weeks of life, including my mom, me and Ray!
My uncle redid the bottom with the wheels a few years ago to update it and My Aunt Mary K made sheets and new padding inside so we could continue to use it with the 3rd generation of Shafers. AMK gave it a cute red flare to match Taylors room and our house and after a couple weeks it will go back to Mike and Aprils when Kalea arrives so she can join the tradition too. Can’t wait to see Taylor’s little name plate added to the bottom soon!
Name plates are: My Uncle Sam, My Mom, Cousin John, Cousin Mike, Cousin Dan (aka Doc), Ray, Me, John's sons Jaydon then Logan, Mikes 1st son Van, Doc's first son Cole. To be added: Mikes 2nd son Brody, Doc's 2nd son Luke, and soon to arrive Taylor and Mikes DAUGHTER Kalea!

That is just so awesome!!! I love that you have that tradition and some day Taylor's babies will be on there!! xox
THAT IS SO COOL! And I must add, what a well made bassinet to last through so many babies. HOW NEAT!
Awesome thing to have in a family!!! Danny's side has one too, but not with those fancy nameplates. Those are really nice. I'm happy for you to finally be able to use it! YAY!
