Did anyone do a pregnancy journal?

If so- which one did you get? Do you like it?

I was just looking to order one on amazon and there are so many to choose from.

Re: Did anyone do a pregnancy journal?

I did!! Bought it in BRU. I'm glad that I did. I think Emerson will love to read through it when she's older and know what those 9 months were like for DH and I.

Re: Did anyone do a pregnancy journal?

I did not and I regret it! Definitely do it!

Re: Did anyone do a pregnancy journal?

Yesterday DH and I went to BRU and bought one. I'd love to keep track of everything so one day when DC is older, they can look through and hear about how it was.

I am getting one, I saw it at Target & it is the same my SIL used.


The Pregnancy Journal

Re: Did anyone do a pregnancy journal?

I'm doing a blog and plan to continue with it after the baby is born. I plan on putting the pregnancy part of it into a photo book after the baby is born to have as a keepsake.

Re: Did anyone do a pregnancy journal?

I just put together a mini-scrapbook with photos, sonogram pics, and little notes about what happened over the last few months.

Re: Did anyone do a pregnancy journal?

i journaled on the first/second baby and mc'ed so i was so paranoid that i didnt journal on this one...

well - dh's cousin got pregnant- and she had the belly book- it really made me feel like i should do one, for the baby's sake so i ended up getting the same " the belly book" when I was 18 weeks along. I went back looking at the wall calendar and was actually able to fill in alot of information.

I like the belly book because it has tabs breaking it into sections, special color sheets in pink for the drs appointments too, and color sheets in blue for last reflections at the end of each trimester. Plus at the end room to journal info from the birth too.

I don't know if it's technically considered a journal, but my SIL got me the Belly Book that I've been filling out. At first I thought it was kinda silly, but now I like looking back at the beginning and what I wrote.

Re: Did anyone do a pregnancy journal?

I have a blog but I also just bought a basic journal and write in it periodically (oops, haven't in a while) to tell baby all about what is going on in our lives and the world...and with my body!

It will turn into his/her baby book. I dont really like the ones with all the forms and fill in the blanks. I like to do my own thing with it. We went to the Last Play at Shea, for instance, and I put in pics and our tickets from the show.

Re: Did anyone do a pregnancy journal?

i did
i was really good about it in the beginning but kind of tapered off the last few months

Re: Did anyone do a pregnancy journal?

I really want to start one but I wanted to just get a regular marble notebook and fill it in not the ones that have the fill ins. I keep saying I have to get one and keep forgetting!

Re: Did anyone do a pregnancy journal?

I just bought a journal from Borders...a purple felt cover with lined paper...and I've been writing letters to the baby throughout my pregnancy..just telling her how excited everyone is to meet her, when she first started kicking, etc. DH wrote in it a few times too

I really want one. My mother just recently gave me the one she kept when she was pregnant with me and it was so lovely (and touching) to read through it. She also kept some telegrams (yes - telegrams, can you believe it!) that she received when she was in the hospital after I was born.

I think it's a lovely way to remember this exciting time and to have for your little one down the road.
