My Pregnancy Book

As many of you know, I tracked my pregnancy each week here on the blog.  I posted weekly updates, highlighted the gender reveal party, my baby showers, maternity shoot, and nursery over the 9+ months I was pregnant {you can see all the fun here}.  I am so glad I stayed on track each week because I now have this beautiful story documented...well, digitally documented, that is.

While I love this blog for keeping me accountable, it's not exactly easy to flip through and I wanted to make sure to get a hard copy of my pregnancy to share with Ethan one day and to be able to go through for future pregnancies.  

So I created a pregnancy book {via Shutterfly} and could not be more happy with how it turned out!  It took several days and lots of hard work, but I am so glad I took the time to do it.  And you know I'll be doing something similar for Ethan's First Year.

Isn't the washi tape and chalkboard background fun?  I posted a picture of my bump on the left and the weekly update on the right.

Here's the gender reveal party!

And a spread from my baby shower.

I included pictures from his nursery...still so proud of how it turned out!

And of course, my gorgeous maternity photos {via Artyard}

Last, I made sure to include Ethan's birth story.

Even though it was a lot of work, I am so glad I took the time to do this...and if I was smart, I would get started on Ethan's first year book NOW.  The templates were pretty easy to use...the hard part is just going through all of the pictures and text to upload.  It was tedious, but well worth it.  Now it sits proudly on my coffee table and I can reference back to it anytime I want.  Love!

Have you documented your pregnancy in a special way?
