Going by the
book
A pregnancy scrapbook is a great way to document the most exciting time of your life! When it comes to pregnancy, what you want to do is to create a
Scrapbooking has become a major hobby over the last few years. Up and down the country there are 'scrapbooking clubs' being set up, with thousands of people carefully logging aspects of their lives on prettily decorated pages: a legacy of a time in their life which they wish to retain. And what better time of life to preserve than pregnancy?
memory for your child of the time that you were pregnant, so what you really want to create is a sense of perspective. What will your child ultimately want to know about your pregnancy? It's a good idea to start your scrapbook as soon as you find out
you're pregnant as this is the best way to show your child its development from the word go. You don't need to take it all too seriously and document every time that you move, but if you include the important aspects of your pregnancy at regular intervals, it will give your child a fantastic memento of a very special time. It might be a nice idea to begin the scrapbook with photos of
yourself and your partner prior to the pregnancy. Search the internet for quotes and sayings about children and motherhood to 'dot' around the pages as embellishments.
Month by month: It's a great idea to document on a monthly basis the growth of your tummy and how you were feeling. Why not make a two-page display of your bump at regular intervals? These could be weekly, monthly or sporadically. There's no better way to display your child's growth! From a display point of view, it's a good idea to use neutral-coloured products for your layouts. If you don't know the sex of your baby, then greens and yellows are very popular choices, but grey and beige can also work well.
Diary: Your handwritten notes on a regular basis will let your child know how you were feeling: your thoughts, your fears, your joy. You could include how you feel about the labour and delivery that lie ahead and also your ideas on the type of parent that you wish to be.
