If you are anything like me, you didn’t keep a journal to document your pregnancy and baby’s first year thinking, “I’ll remember it all. There is no way I will forget [insert special memory]”. Come to find out 5 years later… you can’t remember exactly what you craved during pregnancy, you’re not quite sure at what month your baby first kicked, you may have even forgotten your babies first words. Looking back, I wish I had kept a journal.
Pregnancy and baby journals are a great way to keep track of special moments; from bun in the oven to baby’s first year. Here are a list of my favorite journals:
