I have been reading these posts on here, and it made me think of something. When I was pregnant with my first baby, I didn't really keep a pregnancy journal... I wrote down a little bit of information each month about the pregnancy, but not much. Later, I wished that I had written more. With my second child, I kept a pretty detailed pregnancy journal. I wrote down everything. It really helped me with my 3rd pregnancy. I would go back and read about when things happened in my last pregnancy (like when I felt the baby move for the first time, or when my morning sickness went away.. etc. ) It was nice to have something to refer to, ya know? I kept a journal with my last pregnancy too...
I would like to suggest that if those of you who are pregnant aren't keeping a journal, maybe you should start.... it would be a great thing to have in future pregnancies... and your baby would probably love for you to read parts of it to him/her someday in the future. My kids love to hear about when I was pregnant with them.
Its just a suggestion... but it really helped me a lot. :-)
