Some days I just have to go back and compare notes between my two babies, their length, weight, head size and sit back and wonder. I look over Mitchells pregnancy book and compare it to the notes I put in the one for Emily. The two books are so different. Mitchells had pages filled with baby shower gifts and Emilys had so many pages left empty. Pages not filled out of fear and pages not filled because we skipped certain experiences such as the baby shower.
Something I found while pregnant with Emily is the lack of a pregnancy books for women that didn't have all of the baby showerve to s pages that had pages to fill in on how you were really feeling; were you scared? What were you looking forward to? I would love to see a baby book where there are sections for Extra scan pictures and bump measurements and pages you can write whatever you would like in without prompting. A place to log kick counts in the third trimester. I tried writing a diary but never kept up with it as ideas just didn't come out past "I am terrified but I have to stay positive as my daughter will read this one day and I don't want her to to feel badly about anything as my fears are not her fault" it didnt make for a great read about pregnancy details for her to look back on. Hopefully she knows I was scared because I love her too.
