Waiting for Baby

This is my second pregnancy and I was looking for something a little different than the memory books I used the first time around. What a pleasant surprise -- this book rocks! It covers everything. I just got it in the mail today and already I've had so much fun filling in the blanks. The book has spaces for pictures and cards and plenty of space for reflection. I especially like the pages designated for writing a letter to the baby. So sweet! I highly recommend this book. It may take some time to complete; but in the end, you'll have a great keepsake that I'm sure will be cherished for years to come.

Beautiful book, no teddy bears or other fluffy things. Only sophisticated photos with neat quotes and unique antique wallpaper backgrounds. Journal entries are easy with the prompts on the pages. Other nice thing is that the book is spiral bound, allowing for a flat opening while writing in the book. A real keepsake! One thing I wish it had was at least one envelope to put misc papers in - and finding the time to write in it.

This journal is the BEST. I reviewed so many pregnancy journals before purchasing this one and definitely made the right decision. It certainly covers everything, from your own birth and family to that of your baby's. There are plenty of prompts for those who need them, as well as lots of blank (lined) pages for your own independent journaling. There are sections that discuss your physical/emotional health for each trimester, every doctor's appointment, places to put ultrasound photos and pregnancy/belly photos, nursery ideas/photos, baby shower photos and invites...and more! This journal is beautiful, tasteful, and well made. Any sections you may not be interested in (or don't fill up) may be torn out of the journal so as not to leave a bunch of blank, unfinished pages. While some reviewers did not like how this journal is not father-friendly, such did not bother me. It is my personal journal and to be quite honest, my husband is not the journaling type and not interested in recording his feelings!! I highly recommend this journal. I thoroughly enjoy all the quiet time I have spent with it!!! It is very special to me and will one day be passed on to my baby.

I highly recommend this journal. I was surprised how important it was to write while you are pregnant. This journal really helped me sort out my feelings. I bought it on a whim and I was glad that I did. I bought this journal is primarily for myself and maybe less for the baby, although my daughter may one day find it interesting reading, when she is pregnant. I also bought her a thorough baby book, so that is really more for her. This book is about being pregnant, which is often not written about by the mom. Usually we focus on baby more and not our experience of pregnancy. It is worth the money. It provokes you to write, as it is a fun journal. You may find it more fun to write in this than to stare at a blank journal. I highly recommend this book. Buy it right away, if you are pregnant. I really wouldn't wait until your 3rd trimester. It is almost too late by that time! Buy this!

I looked through about 100 different journals before deciding on this one. I was a little nervous buying it online because I didn't know what the entire contents held, but I am more than pleased. There are a few black and white pictures of babies and women in the book that are so adorable. A majority of the book is 'fill-in-the-blank', but there is also plenty of space to write your own journal entries, letters to your baby, and updates on how your are feeling mentally and physically from time to time. All of the prompts are fun and interesting to write about. I can't wait to share this journal with my baby when he (or she!) gets older!
