Scrapbooking Your Pregnancy

What a unique way to preserve the joyous event of being pregnant. Preserve these precious memories in the form of a scrapbook. You may decide to do an independent pregnancy album or combine this within your baby album.

Ideas that you may decide to include in your album:

- Journal your thoughts and emotions when trying to become pregnant.
- Journal your thoughts and emotions when you found out you were pregnant.
- Take a picture of your positive pregnancy test.
- Write down the names you debated on.
- Ultra sound pictures.
- Date you felt the first flutter or movement.
- Pregnancy symptoms.
- Food cravings.
- Dreams of baby.
- Take pictures of your profile each month and watch as your belly grows.
- Photos of nursery, under construction and completed are always fun.
- Baby showers.

Another thing you might consider doing is asking your health care provider if you can get a photo copy of your records to include in your album so you can see your weight gain and the baby’s heart rate.

Are you/ did you keep a journal during your pregnancy? Include these pages in your album to create a truly special memory keepsake.

Most importantly, there is no right or wrong way to go about doing this album. However you decide to create your pages is perfect. Have fun; this is your album, do it your way! Enjoy!
