Pregnancy Journal

Anyone thinking of doing (or already doing) a pregnancy journal?  I was thinking of buying one on Amazon and would love recommendations from anyone who has done one.  The Belly Book looks cute....anyone have it?

I'm doing one! I bought mine from Chapters, it has Sophie the Giraffe on the front (I don't know the name off hand & am not currently home)...it was the best one they had. It covers everything from DH & my lives before we met, to meeting & getting married, and eventually to finding out we're pregnant. It has lots of room to include pictures & write about everything throughout this pregnancy...I loved how much it covered!

I kept a monthly journal in the notes section of my phone. Not the same I lnow. I need to print it and put it in DS's baby book. I loved it because I could write whenever I wanted and sometimes when it's late and I can't sleep I still read it.

While not specifically a pregnancy journal, I'm planning to get a nice journal and just write letters to my child throughout their life. I thought it would be an amazing gift to receive one day.

These are all wonderful ideas, ladies! Thank you.

I use The Belly Book for all 4 babies and I love it!! Picked mine up for this bean a week ago.

They make a baby book too for the first year after their born.

I did this one with DS and plan on doing the same for this LO.  https://www.amazon.com/Pregnancy-Journal-Ryland-Peters-Small/dp/184172436X/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1444145702&sr=8-21&keywords=pregnancy+journal

They also do a first year baby book, which I liked.

I have the Belly Book and love it. It's really cute and I think it will be a nice gift to my child when they're older.

Aw this sounds like such a good idea. I didn't do a journal with either of my other two kids. I wonder if they'll get angry at me later in life if I started one now.....

I did this for my first pregnancy.I'm trying to find the energy to do it again.

I keep a little notebook on each pregnancy, which has been super helpful for subsequent pregnancies. It's comforting to read that a weird symptom I'm experiencing is the same as a previous pregnancy, because honestly, if you don't write something down, it's easy to forget!

My favorite is called "the 9"--- one page front and back a week and lots of cute extras inside. Love it and this is my third time using one!
