Baby Book - Are you doing one?

gingerfamily · August 2012

I never kept up with it for my daughter. I'm thinking it would be kind of silly to get one for this baby. I do have a blog that I keep track of stuff on but not to the detail that baby books do.

We got a really simple Eric Carle one (which matches our nursery fabric) and is super basic. I think I'll be able to keep up with most of it because it's short and simple.

I have a little journal-type book where I write little letters to our LO (so more like a blog). I'm sure that one will fall by the wayside as things get busy.

Yes, I've fallen behind on DS baby book but I still pull it out to try to update it. I'm going to get one for this LO as well.

I'm using my blog as a pg/baby book. You can upload it blurb.com to create a book.

I also have "the birthday book". I really like it. You only fill it out once each year. Look for it on amazon.

I turned ds's baby book into a scrapbook. I kept all of his firsts (tickets, pucs, etc) and taped them in with a caption underneath. I started dd's book last week. I still need to get a keepsake box to put her hospital hat and other stuff in.

I have a baby book for each of my girls so I definitely will have one again. I also have a first year calendar that I fill out for each of the kids. I love keeping track of everything though, so I really enjoy doing it:) I also have a photo book for each of the girls of my pregnancy with them and their first year. I think some day they will love to have these things.

Yes, for my older 2 I scrapbooked baby books that included ultrasound pics, shower pics, pregnancy and baby pics. With #3 I found Shutterfly. I made an awesome book for him. I am doing the same with this one. Needless to say I don't scrapbook anymore, I Shutterfly.

I have 3 baby books that I am trying to play catchup at filling in and printing pictures for my first 3 kiddos. So I may be of no help. I did get this baby a book too. I'm sure the kids will appreciate even having a little something to look back on when they gets older and all that. I need to step it up on filling it out though! All of them actually.

DFWIndian · August 2012

We got one as a gift for our shower so I will probably start filling it out soon. Now we will just have to make sure we keep up with it.

monksmama · August 2012

I do shutterfly also.

Each boy gets 2 shutterfly 'scrapbooks' every year. I also write in the covers any super awesome/funny stuff they do.

I would love to be a pinterest mom with awesome scrapbooks of every little thing, but I'm not that crafty and I don't have the time and energy to dedicate to a huge project like that. At least they have something.

I'm doing a baby book because I love looking at mine (especially now when I can compare when I did my "firsts" with LO). I actually had a Peter Rabbit baby book, so we got baby the same one....it's pretty thorough without being ridiculously over the top (and it stops at the 1st birthday unlike mine which went through elementary school...most of that stuff my Mom never filled out).

melody921 · August 2012

I had a pregnancy book for DS that went through his arrival. I'm doing the same for DD. Once the babies are here, I stick to just photos bc I'm not really the scrapbooking type.

hunter91011 · August 2012

We got a fairly simple one for the baby shower. I have always loved looking at mine, so I was LO to have one as well.

TAGSL710 · August 2012

Yes. I registered for one and was given it at my shower. I like looking back at mine so I am hoping he likes looking back at his. I also keep a weekly journal of this pregnancy in a spiral notebook. I am not a sentimentalist at all but I figure one day when I am gone he will have these hand written things from me to look back on

Pokedot · August 2012

I started a journal when we knew LO was coming and write in it each week on Tuesdays (day I change to a knew week). I write about how I'm feeling, what's going on with the pregnancy and then write in updates each time we have a dr's appt.

I have a basic baby book my mom got us that I've started too although most of it starts after LO is born and recently bought a calendar for all the first's. It comes with stickers so it's easy that way!

DH and I still need to write letters to LO before baby's arrival..

jenndub · August 2012

Yes! I did one for DD and DS and we love them. Both books go through their 5th birthdays and I filled out everything and put in a ton of pictures. Every now and then the kids will ask to look through them and they think it's hilarious to see themselves as babies.

cmiller0623 · August 2012

i have a pregnancy journal i got when i first found out and ive kept up with it pretty good, i'll probably do a baby book for her too. my mom kept a good scrapbook of pictures and stuff and i like looking at it from time to time.

skyejo · August 2012

I use the blog as our baby book but I still bought an actual one. I think it will be really neat to give it to DD one day. I'll do the same with DD2.

gingerfamily · August 2012

Well now I feel bad that I never kept up on DD's. LOL. Maybe I can go back and get it up to date. Hmmmmm....

hmp1 · August 2012

MIL bought DS's and she is getting this baby one too. I am the youngest of 4 and do not have a baby book. I really liked when MIL gave us DH's book when we found out we were pregnant. It made me kind of sad to not have one for myself.

I just took out my daughter's the other day and looked through it. It's not completed, so I really need to fill in the gaps. I didn't realize I had fallen so behind on it :S

I do also plan on doing one for this baby, although I haven't actually gotten the book yet. I want to have one for both my kids. It's only fair
