I would just like to say that I recently revisited the baby book that my mom did for me and it was SO AMAZING, and that is the sole reason why I will be doing one for mine. I always knew about it and had looked at it several times throughout my life, but I thought it was weird. Until recently, now that I'm more mature and maternal and can fully appreciate it. She used a template book, so it wasn't particularly creative, but it was more important to me that I could read about what her pregnancy was like, the things she was excited/nervous about, and (after I arrived) she included things like daily entries from my first nanny, and cards from loved ones to congratulate her on the baby. Just a bunch of random things that really painted a picture of my mom as a young mother, and I absolutely loved experiencing that part of her. And how special that she put such time into someone she barely even knew yet (me)! I guess what I'm getting at is - it's never too early. Pregnancy memories will mean a ton to your grown-up child, maybe even more than the ones about his/her young self.

P.S. I found a templatized one that I liked, though I haven't started it yet. I love love love that it a) has really unique writing prompts that aren't all cutesy, b) gives a lot of focus to "mom and dad's" relationship, pre-baby. I wish I had known more about that part of my mom and dad's experience/romance/pre-baby life. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1462112684/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1462112684/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
I like it because it lets the child know more about the parents before their arrival happened. We already filled out the first part. It is cute and has light humor.

I plan on doing two!

First, I bought this: http://www.amazon.com/When-We-Became-Three-Memory/dp/1462112684

It's adorable, fun, and easy to fill out! Along with the standard question blanks, it also has mad-lib style prompts and lists where you check boxes. It goes through the third or fifth birthday of the child and also lets you put information about how mom and dad met. And hey! It's $15!

Then, I have been journaling in Evernote (one of my favorite apps btw) about random pregnancy occurrences (doctor visits, how I've felt emotionally, the first time we felt him kick, etc.) I plan on continuing that through his birth and putting it along with pregnancy/newborn iPhone pictures into a photo book from shutterfly or blurb.

As an aside, my mom faithfully kept detailed books of all 4 of us kids, along with funny quotes we would say as toddlers. One of our favorite things to do as a family is go through those quotes and journal entries! It's really neat; I'm so grateful she took time to do that.

This stuff is fun! :D Do whatever you think you'll enjoy doing and be able to keep up with!

I really like [When We Became Three](When We Became Three: A Memory Book for the Modern Family https://www.amazon.com/dp/1462112684/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cZMOybDN9RXB8) because it's modern and not too fussy and over the top sentimental. My husband and I have been going through the pages about us as a couple these past couple of weeks since our little boy is coming soon. It's been a very sweet way to remember our relationship, the pregnancy, and jot down our thoughts on impending parenthood.

We're using When We Became Three Journaling Book

It is adorable. It's not perfect. Some of the prompts and lists are a little silly or worded "for millennials," and as a heads up it is definitely gendered for families with male/female parents (some of the prompts are for "Dad" and "Mom").
