When i was pregnant i never had a scarpbooking i started it when i gave birth my baby and take note his development. It so nice that you are doing. Im sure you are excited to have your baby too. Well you can start scrapbooking by taking notes your development of the baby inside your belly, you can put your baby photo of scan on your album and you can show it to him when he is getting bigger. Happy posting.

Thanks for replying. I am pretty much excited about this baby. This is my first child and I am excited about everything. I want to share with him what I am feeling now and what our hope for him is. I thought a scrapbook mightbe a best way to do that. Lets see how it goes. So far I have my test strips and a picture of thenm too and a photo of me and my hus...

It's so nice of you, preparing a scrapbook for your baby. Well, I'm 6 month pregnant now, and I haven't prepared any scrapbook before. I do blog about my baby, and I'll let him read my blogposts when he grows up. ^_^ What I think is important to be included in the scrapbook is the ultrasound scan picture that you get every time you go for the check up. Perhaps you can write about your feelings toward the pregnancy or toward your baby, capture some pictures of yourself, or some baby stuffs that you'll surely buy soon. Hope you'll enjoy doing your scrapbook.

You even keep the test strip? That's good. I did my pregnancy test in clinic, so I don't have it with me now. Perhaps you can start drafting out the design first, and collect the stuffs you want to include in the scrapbook. Or you can also choose a general color that suits boy and girl. I bought clothes for my baby before I knew the gender, I chose white, blue and green.

I started two different types of scrapbooks. One was all photos which is totally updated. I put pictures of me and his father before becoming pregnant. I put a picture of both of us as babies ourselfs. Then I started with ultrasound pics. Then my belly pics. Then the labor pics. His pics. So on so on. My second book was the baby book you buy from walmart. Started it but never finished. I think pictures are the memories.

I never did a scrapbook for my pregnancy, but started one from the time she was born that someone put together for me & all I have to do is add the pictures! We did however take a sideview picture of me every month so we could see my "progress". So far the only thing I have done with that was post it on my facebook & myspace. I would like a little mini album or scrapbook to put it in. I also started a journal shortly after she was born & I write things in it starting from all about my labor & delievery to what she is doing now like she just learned to roll over. I never thought about keeping one while I was pregnant & now that I think about it, it would've been an awesome idea! You should write down about how you are feeling, things you are craving, things you can't stand anymore...like when I was pregnant I couldn't stand peanut butter & I just love it usually! That would've been a good thing to put in a journal!! Good luck with it!
