Pregnancy Journal/Baby book
is anyone filling one of these out throughout their pregnancy?
Any you can recommend? I saw one in Babies R Us that was Ok, and other than that I haven't seen any I am crazy about!
TIA!

Re: Pregnancy Journal/Baby book
I got a pregnancy journal at Borders. It's purple, but I can't remember the name of it right now. It was the kind that has a "fill in the blanks" format. Like info about me, DH, our parents, food cravings, sonogram info, places to put pictures, etc.
But a lot of BTDT friends told me to also just get a blank journal to write my thoughts and memories as they come. The Borders journal didn't really allow for too much free writing.
I figure the purple book will be what I give to the baby when it gets older, and the basic journal will be what I keep for myself.

Re: Pregnancy Journal/Baby book
I've been using "The belly book". I've been taking a belly picture weekly that goes in there and each week they have room to write different things. There is also room to write about each trimester and questions to answer with each trimester. I really like it - it was the book my sister used so she bought me one!

Re: Pregnancy Journal/Baby book
I feel like a totally bad preggo woman!
I have sort of a journal I wrote in in the every begging, but have gotten bad at updating i.e when I felt baby's first kicks etc , and have barely taken any belly pics.
Someone recently gave me a scrap book making kit-- Maybe this weekend I will work on this!!
I feel so guilty now!!

I feel the same way! My SIL gave me a pregnancy journal in the beginning of my pregnancy. I've filled in the dates and that's about it! I think I have maybe two pregnancy pictures of my. I made DH take a picture of me the other day because I started freaking out that I have no pictures of me as a preggo!!

Someone bought me The Belly Book. I have filled it out but am not diligent on the weekly photos. I hate preggo photos of me.

Re: Pregnancy Journal/Baby book
I got one from Hallmark that lists by months/ trimesters, so it a little easier to keep up with. Im not sure of the name but they had some there.
