This isn't Your Mama's Baby Book - Memory Planner Style

How many haven't finished their child's baby book because you feel like you are a failure before you even start. That was me. I had a few problems with the conventional baby book...

1. Unless you have the book beside you at all times and are reading it all the time...which we all know with a new baby that isn't possible...you are missing things. Maybe even random things that don't mean much to you.

2. Thing that I find noteworthy aren't included most baby books...so where do I put them.

3. As a graphic designer by trade...trying to find a baby book that meets my standards was hard...I might be a little bit of design snob.

Those are just a few of the reasons that I never completed my first son's baby book. I may not have completed a baby book. I did keep track of his life but I did it on my calendars every year. So when we got pregnant with our second son...I began thinking of baby books again.

What was different this time was that there was finally a product available that would work for me. Introduce Heidi Swapp Memory Planner.  I documented everything on my calendar...What a better fit for me than a memory planner!

So the process begins.

I created some pages in the beginning of the baby book to cover from the time that we found out we were pregnant. Here are some of those pages

Introducing our little man

The story about finding out we were pregnant with our little man.

I love these two pages. I've included a printout of the my Facebook posts and the comments!
All the comments are tucked underneath. I love that I could include them.

I started using the memory planner pages once our little man was born. I'm loving this baby book more and more as I work on it. Stayed for more pages...
