Journaling through pregnancy...

I am excited to announce the newest book I received from blogging for books to blog about. This is the cutest little pregnancy planner and journal that I have seen in quite some time.

The cover is a sweet little blue with white circles and dots on it with a big circle in the middle to add a photo of your own into.

This book begins with a little congrats note regarding your sweet new bundle of joy, how adorable is that! It is then followed up with instructions on how to use the planner to get the most use out of it as well as including the website Thebump.com where you can add additional details that will not fit into the compact size of this book. What a great idea!

Important phone numbers, sections to write notes to your baby, prenatal text descriptions and explanations as to why they are necessary and a section to record your doctor visits are all some of the pages that are laid out leading up to your pouch for keepsakes throughout your first trimester.

Baby bump photos, the size of your baby, a section to record your reaction, thoughts and feelings regarding finding out you were expecting, Things to stop doing, things to start doing, what to eat, what not to eat, suggested questions for the OB at your next visit, due date chart and some wonderful exercise suggestions are what you will find leading up to your pouch for the second trimester keepsakes.

Maternity leave information, child care; daycare versus choosing a nanny, classes you should take to prepare for baby and the size of your baby.....sweet potato, mango, banana, papaya and grapefruit are all comparable sizes for week 18 through week 22.
This section also has a page for your  mid-pregnancy ultrasound photo and all the great information that came along with getting it done. Baby shower planning, do's and don'ts and gender reveals, baby registry item suggestions. This is a great list that covers just about every angle of every item needed for that sweet bundle of joy. nursery decorating suggestions, baby proofing suggestions, baby kick log, and another page for a little letter to your sweet baby are some of the things included leading up to the third trimester goody pouch.

The last section of the book does not include a little keepsake pouch but it does include things such as, what to pack in your hospital bag, birth planning and every possible option that comes along with that, Questions for the hospital, signs of labor and all the stages that come along with it.

The last pages are dedicated to your sweet baby...first days, bringing them home, photos, check up's, feeding tracker and gift logs.

This book is smaller on size but packed full of priceless information, suggestions and ideas. It's the perfect size to fit into a purse or diaper bag and have with you at all times. I will purchase this for all of my soon to be mommy friends, and let me tell you, right now that is quite a few!
