When I was pregnant, much to big to go anywhere but bored to death, I started a scrapbook for Reagan about her father and I getting ready for her arrival. In my mind, one day my little angel would curl up in my lap and we would thumb through the book together and I would say things like "look how excited we were that you were coming" and "look how big mommy's belly was with you inside" " that was the very first pictures of you inside mommy's belly." In my mind this book would be something my little girl would treasure always. Those days may come, when she's a bit older, but since her arrival a year and a half ago I have pulled it out and reminisced quite a few times. I would highly recommend expectant mother to do the same. Even if you don't scrapbook. Take a few pictures, keep cute wrapping paper and shower invites then throw it all in a book and add your thoughts and feelings.
You won't be sorry!
Its super fun seeing how excited everyone was when we surprised then with an ultrasound
The Great Grand page is extra special to me. The year Reagan was born Papa tragically died and this is one of two photos we have of the both of them:)
Although I was very selfconcience of my growing body and hated taking pictures after I got big.
I love looking back at them now.
Lo came and took some great pictures right before our angel's arrival.
I hope one day this book will be as special to her as it is to me.
