Babies journal

The traditional way to write baby journal pages are as if you were speaking to your child when he/she is fully grown.
This is a very sentimental and personal approach.

Pregnancy Pages (waiting for his/her arrival)

• Thoughts you and your husband had in anticipation of his/her arrival…how excited and nervous you were to become parents for the first time.
• Feelings you had during pregnancy, lists of random pregnancy facts (including cravings), a note to your unborn child, etc.

Birth Day

• The day he/she was born, mommy and daddy’s memories of my birth,  his/her tiny hands and feet

About Baby’s Name

• A baby’s name is chosen with great care. What were some of the names you considered, and why did you choose the name your child eventually got? Is it a family name, does it have a special meaning? Did both parents agree on the name, or was it a source of debate?

A Letter from Mom and Dad

• Write a letter to your baby — whether it’s a list of goals and wishes, or just a reflection of your feelings at the time. If you have older children, have them draw a picture for their new sibling, or even write a little note of their own.

Family and Friends

• Tell about Grannies hand-knitted baby blanket, the music box from an aunt, or keepsakes passed down to the new generation.
• It’s also nice to include the many ways your family helped you through the first few weeks…did your mother-in-law bring dinners to you, did Grandpa rock the crying baby to sleep?

Firsts

• This can include all of Baby’s Firsts: First foods, first roll over, first steps, first word, first tooth…and don’t forget that all-important night when Baby slept all the way through!

My favourite things

• Teddy , Rattle, nappy, blanky etc.

Quote’s

• Include lyrics from lullabies, quotes from favorite books, and passages from a memorable poem or book.
