And if you did, did you do the same with all your pregnancies? / children?
I took Belly pictures of nearly every week the first time with my son
and kept all his ultrasounds in a special album , with the notes that came with them all etc, kept all his baby shower cards etc and then took photos of him everyday, since he was born ....lol
With this pregnancy I have taken belly shots and I found a cheap Pregnancy Companion journal that i am keeping notes in.. and the same with the ultrasound pictures in an album.... just wondering what everyone else does?
With Moo I wrote in a journal every day, took belly pics every week & kept just about everything pregnancy related. It's all in a big box under his cot! With my last pregnancy I started a journal, although it ended in a m/c I've still kept it.
I desparately wanted too and had plans of it but was too sick to even move. DH made sure we had a belly shot taken every Sunday though, so I have just compiled all this with ultrasound pics into a slideshow/ music thing. Had I not been sick, I would have had every pregnancy journal known to man kind filled out
I somehow picked up an unused Baby book at a garage sale which has a few pages about the pregnancy so I've been filling that in. So I've ended up with two Baby record books, the garage sale one which I will probably hang onto longer, and a Possum Magic one, which is one I can show him when he is young, and more for him iykwim.
I wrote notes when pg with DS . They were basic things, like when I found out, when I told dh, when told work and other people. Weight changes, when we painted the nursery etc. Really nothing to write home about, but interesting to look back on. When I fell of with DD, I had already started a blog, so I wrote on that occasionally.'
Now that I think about it, I should have done more.
Yup. I kept a written journal while PG with DD and will do the same for all our other pregnancies. I've already found it great to look back on. I only wish I'd had enough energy to write a journal for DD's first year,
PS: I've printed all our ultrasound pics and put them in albums. I also had a pregnancy calendar which I was diligent with and will do the same for our next baby.
