A Million Little Thoughts

You can't stop thinking about this incredible little life inside of you: What will she be like? Will the baby look more like you or your partner? Will it be healthy? Questions like these will fill your mind from time to time during this nine-month odyssey.

The best part about having plenty of time before baby comes is that you also have plenty of time to record your thoughts. A few years from now, when your new baby enters toddlerhood, you can pull out these notes for those inquiring eyes asking you to “tell me about the day I was born” — a moment that most assuredly will come.

Essential

Whether you choose to create a pregnancy journal, time capsule, collage, book, or any other kind of memento to mark your baby's important passage into your lives, this keepsake will become a treasure for many years to come. It's worth the time and effort to make it as complete a history of “time before baby” as possible!
