 A Great Memory Book December 20, 2006
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
I first bought this book after looking at many - MANY - on the shelves in a bookstore. I was searching for a gift for my unmarried pregnant friend. SO many of the books put an emphasis on the marriage of the parents, and this book light-heartedly refers to the father as "hubby/partner".
Moreover, this book is light hearted and humorous throughout the 9 month journal. Answer choices to questions throughout the journal often include an option that will lead to at least some light laughter. Going from memory (so wording may be wrong) a few examples I can think of are:
I think you are a:
__boy
__girl
__twins
__a boxer
My complexion is:
__glowing
__the same
__green
Number of days I've worn the same pair of sweat pants in a row:____
My energy level is:
__Great! Never better!
__About the same as usual
__I can't even complete a senten
Now, whenever I hear those magic little words, "I'm pregnant", I rush out and buy this book. Everyone I've ever given the book to loves it. Married, single, it doesn't matter. This book's tone doesn't make anybody uncomfortable.
PLUS, there is space for weekly pictures of your growing belly. Using a digital camera and making simple prints from your computer works perfectly. There is also space for copies of ultrasounds, and space to write how you are feeling and what you are thinking.
I cannot say enough about how great this book is. I highly recommend it.

This pregnancy journal is just plain fun! I have been looking through the journal I used for my last pregnancy, and not only is it packed full of lists, etc that I never used, it was also pretty straightforward and boring. I so enjoy jotting things down and checking things off in this one. Even if they really don't apply, they are good for a chuckle, and then I feel that I can just scribble my own thoughts in. My best friend and I did kind of wonder about having a place for a picture for EVERY week starting with week one - "Honey, just in case we conceived last night, let's get a picture" - but I've found that it's fun to just include pictures of what was going on each week, whether it's baby-bump-related or not. Then I get a sort of scrapbook done for my whole pregnancy. I love the way it's segmented into the weeks, the OB visits, the ultrasounds, etc in each trimester. One note: this journal dates your weeks as from conception, not first day of LMP which is what the medical community uses, so I just wrote the week as I'm looking at it in parentheses to keep myself straight. Hope you enjoy this one . . . it really is fun! And you should be enjoying yourself, not stressing out about writing everything down!

 The perfect pregnancy journal June 27, 2006

The day I found out I was pregnant with our first child I begin a search for a good journal. This book is broken down into trimesters and then further divided into your pregnancy week by week. There are spaces for you to record your own reactions and those of family members to your pregnancy, details about cravings, morning sickness, growing stats, appetite changes, mood swings, and just general thoughts about the baby. You are prompted by the author to answer certain questions week by week but there is additional, limited space to add your own comments. I was sold on the blank spaces to attach photos week by week of belly growth and ultrasounds pictures.
The best keepsake for you and your baby June 20, 2006

When I found out I was pregnant I went out and bought three different pregnancy organizers/journals/keepsake books. This one is by far and away my favorite. The others are very bogged down with extra information that you will already have if, like me, you also bought a small library of pregnancy reference books. This fun and beautiful book is larger and more of a keepsake book than the others, which are more like organizers. I like that there are places to include photographs, which the others are too small to have. This will be a joy to look at in years to come to remember my pregnancy, and my baby will enjoy having this special record of our time together during pregnancy. I will buy this as a gift for all of my pregnant friends in the future.
