Recommend your pregnancy journal

in April 2012 Moms

I've been really wanting to get a journal since we have been ttc. When we first started I went to the book store and browsed the section. There are so many different journals! 

I would love one that has a place to put pictures, a daily or weekly personal entry, a place to keep records of important dates and information from the doctor.

So recommend the one you have if you love it! 

 

TIA!

    I am using 'The Belly Book' by Amy Krouse Rosenthal.  A friend of ours who just recently had a baby had one and I thought it was cute!

    You may have already considered this... but I use my blog (blogger.com) as my journal.  I love it because our friends and family that live far away can share in our journey, and at the end of the year I get it professional printed (blurb.com) into a book.  Very nice.

    Thanks for posting this OP. I was going to post something similar. The Belly Book looks like a really cute option!

    Just added the Belly Book to my Amazon cart before reading this thread.  Looks like that's the one I'll be going with! Smile

    I used the What to Expect When You're Expecting journal for DS. I didn't buy a new one as I'm re-using the same journal, but writing "#2: ...." so I know the difference. It has space for every day, a daily nutrition and exercise checklist, a weight tracker, and there's a section for childbirth, both preparation and post-labor.  It also has pockets to put in ultrasound photos and CDs.

    I bought The Belly Book when I was pregnant with Edie and only filled out weeks 5 and 6.  I think I'm going to use it for this pregnancy!

    This is the one I used for DS, I will be using the same one again! I still have a few photos to add to his Embarrassed guess I better hurry up and finish that one!!

    I love the photo book idea I do a yearly book for DS like that and its enough to keep me busy!! worried about adding another. DH is BIG on making thigsn "fair" already so he wouldn't want me to do that for #2 and not DS, so we'll stick with the same book!

    I decided to do a digital book using my digital scrapbooking program. Every week I do a page, for the changes with baby, and then a page on how I'm feeling with a picture.
