In Reply to: Help with Baby Book!!!! posted by Teacher on July 10, 2003 at 20:56:20:
: Hey girls!
: I'm making my own baby book this weekend and I need some guidance. Since I haven't bought a real baby book I have no idea what all categories are in it. Would some of you mind looking at your own baby books and listing off the various categories and pages that are in it.
: I've been journaling throughout my pregnancy so I plan to add those pages to it and I have all of the sonogram pix and cards from friends and family. Then I have the list of names and presents from showers. But I really need help otherwise.
: I really appreciate all of your help. You're all so AWESOME!!!!

: Hi and congrats! I just bought a baby book yesterday. In it are pages for things like: When I first found out I was pregnant with you and how you felt. How you celebrated the news. Family and friends reactions and comments/thoughts. Your first doctors aptment. ultrasound date and pics. thoughts about the baby before he/she arrived. description of the nursery and why you picked that theme. Why you chose his/her name. A family tree. Info on the world today. Any showers you had, who was there and what you received. The birth story. first reactions after birth. Baby's weight, length, ect. A page for hand/foot prints. Time, place and date of birth. Which hospital you were at. First day at home. First quiet moment together. Visitors at home and in the hospital. gifts you received. first words, smile, tooth, hair cut, what they wore home from the hospital. baby's doctor visits and a record of weight and height progress and imunizations. Any unique stories about them and the parents. Then it goes through to the first birthday and what you did and who came ect. It also has first trip. first vacation. Ther is more but that's all I can think of for now. It's not in order but hopefully it helps with some ideas. Good luck!
