Pregnancy Hot Topic: Memorializing/Keepsakes

[Maribeth]

Did you scrapbook/memorialize your pregnancy? What types of keepsakes did you save, did you make a special scrapbook, did you journal, did you make a belly cast, etc?????

Share your ideas with us and we'll archive this thread for the Pregnancy Channel.

Thanks!

From Chloe via email:

I had a belly cast made and I absolutely love it. I plan to do it again with my next pregnancy so I can compare how big I get. I can't believe now that I was actually that huge! I don't know what I'll do with it in 10 years and I have it hanging in the garage (I know, strange place for it) because my mom freaked every time she wanted into the house and saw it. WTF?

From Amanda via email:
My husband took pictures of my profile every month until 6, then he did it every week. It's amazing to see that progression and I'll love showing these to my daughter some day.

I did a belly cast too!

I'm into scrapbooking so I'm making a scrapbook completely of my pregnancy. I didn't like the traditional scrapbooks/journal you can buy so I'm making my own. It's a lot of fun and I hope my baby likes looking at it some day.

Thought of a few more ...

I have a notebook of ttc stuff -- charts and all.

I printed off the thread where I announced the pg.

I took a photo of my belly every week from week 5ish to week 41.

I saved the vial the sperm was in.
