project: pregnancy scrapbook
Back when I first started blogging about this pregnancy, I knew I wanted to take the weekly updates and turn them into a scrapbook. I’ve kept up with the journaling on here, so it should have been relatively easy to scrapbook.
Keyword: should.
In May, my mom and I were in Gatlinburg where I purchased an 8×8 scrapbook and a lot of paper. I also bought some cute pregnancy-related decals. I found the bag of stuff last week in a drawer (I had a moment of panic when I couldn’t find the bag for a few weeks.)
About two weeks ago, I gathered the photos from 10 weeks to 37 weeks and sent them to be printed. The only potential issue I ran into was Walgreens wasn’t sure they could print the ultrasounds (in the end, they did.) I didn’t start printing the week by week updates until tonight.
And now we’re three days before the due date, and I’m starting to put things together. I really don’t have the correct size paper for the book, but I found a paper stack that I’m hoping will work. It has to work. Because I’m now determined to get this done.
Pictures to come soon. For now, I should probably get back to printing!
(For you moms out there – how many of you scrapbooked your pregnancy? And at what point did you scrapbook the birth of your child(ren)? I’m just wondering when I should start a real book for him, outside of the baby book we have with the fill-in-the-blanks.)
Hahaha, I did none of that. I am such a slack mommy. We have taken tons of pictures and they are organized chronologically on my computer… yikes that is pretty bad.
I am planning to finally have some some professional pictures made around his birthday, though. Maybe that will help make up for it… š
My plan, if it comes to fruition or not, is to make a photobook (snapfish or shutterfly) of my pregnancy. I have yet to do any of this you see, but the thought is there.
As far as her baby book,right now my blog posts are about all I’ve got.
Plans and what happened definitely never lined up. Make sure you do a baby book and keep it up really good as you can always go back and scrap book later from that.
