I'm am working on trying to finish my son's baby book. It is hard since we didn't document alot of things. Like when we first heard his heartbeat, felt him move, all the other little things. He also skipped quite a few doc appts. because of no insurance. He got his teeth in so fast I couldn't even tell you when they came in. At the hospital they never did footprints so that will also be missing in the book.
Alot of pictures have got left behind at my parents house. So I can't do anything with the baby shower page. Our computer crashed and we lost alot of photos there as well. I was thinking about asking the doctors office for all of the appointments we had and a little print out sheet of his progress. Each time he has an appointment they give us a little print out of how he is doing and different milestones he should be reaching, so I can add to some of the pages.
When he started walking, found his hands and feet?..... I honestly could not tell you he just kind of did it. I would like to write him a little letter about how the journey of pregnancy was and about our hospital visit. We had a tornado scare and were not aloud back into our rooms until it was over.
Tell me your thoughts, do baby books have to much stuff to put in there, or am I being selfish about it? I just don't remember everything and didn't write down all his cute little milestones like I should have. I am slacking with documenting with baby 2's pregnancy also so I guess we could cover up some pages with a cute picture or scrapbook something in there.
I use to document all of those things and then realized that it was pretty silly. I don't care when I started doing all that stuff I'm just grateful that I CAN do all that stuff. Why would my boys care when they learned how to crawl if I don't? What really matters is the fun memories you have. Write down stories of things you remember them doing. Put up as many pictures of their cute moments that you have. To me those are the things that matter the most from past events.
