Baby Book Recommendations

[onesweetworld]

Tell me which one to buy.....


Edit: I'm looking for a book you write in and record all of your baby milestones.

Like books to read to your baby or books to learn about your baby?

lol I should have been more descriptive. It's not you, it's me.

You read my mind! I was just starting to look into this myself. I'm interested to see what others suggest.

I got this one: www.amazon.com/dp/B01I122K42/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_pq4TybDBSHZ1F

I wanted something gender neutral and this also matches the nursery theme. I liked the Lucy Darling ones better but the neutral book wasn't in stock for months so this was my second choice.

I have a C.R. Gibson 5 years memory book for ds1 and will probably get another one for this baby. It was fine, but almost too much information to fill out lol.

[juliayadda]

I had a Winnie the Pooh one for DS. I filled out some of it...

I just finished (what I could remember) DS's about a month ago after he turned 2. There's a lot of missing info lol.

I bought a pregnancy memory book on Etsy and I really like the idea of it but I haven't printed any photos for it and there is no way H is going to write a letter to the baby in it...

[LadyNymeria]

I have a regular 5 year Carter's book from my MIL that I've been trying to fill in.

My mom gave me these calender format ones:

www.currentcatalog.com/product/morehead-1st-and-2nd-year-baby-calendars-051164.do?

I love them because I just hung them up somewhere easily accessible and keep a pen right there. If DS does something I want to remember, I just jot it down that day.

It also comes with a bunch of stickers for common milestones, first Holidays, etc.

I really like the Lucy Darling ones. They are my style for sure.

Unconventionally, there is also the wait but why poster with a small square to represent each week of your life. I've thought about getting that but just have an annotated Google photos album and a text file so far.

With DD I had a pepperpot book I purchased on zulily. This time I went with a CR Gibson from BBB. They're both almost identical. Honestly I cared more about the cover matching their nursery theme than anything.

[hpnegirl]

Mine are Carter's brand. DS1's is about 75% filled out. DS2's? Yeah... kid is lucky it has his name on it . I just wanted them to match the nursery theme

[akraus2015]

Not sure what I'm going to do about journaling but for photos I'm going to make a Shutterfly book for each year of his life.

[marshian]

Oh man, I forgot this on my master to-do list!

I've been browsing books and since I'll be keeping a photo album anyway, I'm thinking of just finding sample questions/stats/etc the books ask you each month and printing those on cards to put in the album. But I would want to set that up before birth so it's ready to go.

[mustloveerica]

I have 2 just regular photo albums to put pictures of the girls in. There's a paper margin down the center I can write memories on. They are huge and hold like 500 photos. I also bought two different CR Gibson baby's first year calendars that will be fun. They have some prompts every month but I mostly think it will be fun to just fill the calendar in va just doing prompts in a baby book.

I have this book for pregnancy and really like it: www.amazon.com/Belly-Book-Nine-Month-Journal-Growing/dp/0307336182

They make one for when baby is born that I am considering getting: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/030746542X/ref=pd_aw_sim_14_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=AP45WRCK9KTGXV787N7K&dpPl=1&dpID=41c7CnYgzPL

Ughhhhh looking in the Lucy darling book their is a spot that asks for the name of the president when you were born. Can I just write - NO in the space?

Acceptable answers:

An unqualified cheeto

Dorito Mussolini

We're not talking about it

....

The Carter's one for A just has "national leaders". DS1's had a space for president so it was a pleasant surprise

I was going to write "No. 45" or something like that. It is tempting to write "Sigh." or "An embarrassment to our nation" though.

Ruby Love anyone?
