STARTING SCRAP BOOK AT 21 WEEKS

[rosealie23]

I had a bAby book I got when I first got pregnant. It has animals on it but it has a lot of pink, then my 3 year old scribbled all over lots of pages...

I went to the store to buy a baby book for a boy our first and sixth pregnancy. They had one book and nothing to brag about. I have decided to make my own by making the baby a scrap book... I am needing to get idea's on very pretty pages for his book.

How many moms are making a scrap book?

Thanks.. I will think about that.. I will be doing water birth and think that it would be awesome.

No problem.  Glad I could help :) also there are some ladies who are getting photographers to take pics while they're in labor, the pics I have seen are absolutely beautiful,  although personally I dont think I would do it myself, just thought I'd mention it incase it is something you would consider. Could be something to add..  takes a while, but I do get ideas eventually haha. If I get any more I will let you know :)

Maybe take note or pictures of things you are doing or preparing for bubs arrival. Eg, I painted the nuresery and re-did a rocking chair etc take a photo to paste in, so when bub is older he can see how much effort you went to just for his arrival. Maybe write a letter to baby to put in there.

I planned to keep stuff and take pictures at my baby shower to make a shower page or two and a mommy expecting page or two of my baby bump. I just feel like I should have more from pregnancy than some ultrasound and belly pictures.... I plan to give birth at birthing center and won't even have a bracelet.. so I need to get creative... thanks for some good ideas and I will keep searching...

to make it special, you could ask family and friends to make pages with you

Thats exciting.  Im a ftm dnt know what we are having, only a few weeks left to find out and then im sure it will help the ideas flow. I do have a cute winnie the pooh scrapbook album and lots of decals etc. I just don't know where to start. (Which is odd for me)   goodluck with your little boy :) im sure you will find some more inspiration as your pregnancy progresses :)

Im not a very creative person. I admire those who are. I may try this second time around. But I have been written down important moments.look at pinterest!

Lol.. Google is where I got my ideas for my two pages... I only have the motivation cause I have 5 girls and this one is a boy, so we are excited...

[bump_2_be]

I haven't as yet, but I will be when bub gets here.  I dont have alot of motivation or inspiration at the moment. Google will give you a variety of ideas though :)

No body is starting a scrap book for baby.. I already have two pages... I will make a third today...
