Baby Book starting in pregnancy

[writersblock42]

I am pregnant with my second child right now but was not a scrapper almost 9 years ago when I was pregnant with my first. He has a baby book but it is more of the traditional type where I bought a book and wrote in it and taped pictures in it. This time I would like to start a baby scrapbook beginning during pregnancy. But I need ideas. What artifacts did you include...what type of pages did you do...what pictures did you include. In fact, if you could post some examples that would be great. Thanks.

I scrapbooked a few pages during my last preg. I used the ultrasound pics a couple times, other times no pics, or you can use pics of the older sib. I wrote my feelings about her and dreams and what she would be like and grow up to be. I wrote a letter about the baby to the older sib. I also took pics of the room, long before it was ready and journalled about her room.

I didn't do any preg of me photos, since I do don't photos as much as possible (except at Disney), but you could do those too. Milestones of the preg, ie felt first kick today, etc. We also were at Disney during the preg, so I actually have lots of pics that way, and I journalled bits of the trip in relation to the preg, ie, mom stayed of this ride and took pics due to the preg. But the Disney pages stay with the Disney book.

For both of my girls, I kept a pregnancy journal (mainly just about the doctors visits & a few major things that happened, like moving) & then I did a mini album of the journal & included the ultrasound pics & a few pics that went along with the other major happenings. The first one I did because I accidentally left out the ultrasound pics in her 1st yr book, but I liked it so I did one the second time too.

I also included a few pages in the beginning of their 1st yr books about the pregnancy. Mostly just a timeline of the pregnancy & a few pics from showers & the "Big Sister" class we went to the second time.

I made my scrapbook of the story of my pregnancy so to speak. Hmm that doesn't explain it very well. I can try to take pics and post but not sure when (I am at work right now) I am preggo now too and plan to do a similar book Once upon a time there was a family that just wasn't complete.......
