Are you keeping a physical pregnancy journal? Or are you doing it online? Or not keeping one at all?
Why or why not?

I'm keeping a paper pregnancy journal. I'm really not into journaling, but my mom died 5 years ago, and being able to read the journal she kept during her pregnancy with me was just so meaningful. I see it as more of a gift to my LO than anything else. If you're interested, this is the one I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/Expecting-You-Keepsake-Pregnancy-Journal/dp/1938298349

I kept one online on my blog for both my kids. I think it is pretty cool that I have this record to share with my kids in the future if they are interested.

I have two seperate journals for each pregnancy, and since I've had the babies I have lists in them of what gifts were received for special events. I wanted each child to be able to keep one from when I was pregnant with them, rather than have to share a book.

I have a physical journal that I write in from time
To time - it's the same one I kept for my last pregnancy. -
I've kept a daily log in a moleskine notebook of all of my symptoms and doctor's appointments, and a few notes on feelings (which are all like, "9w2d--not very queasy today; absolutely terrified"). But nothing nice or cute

I'm not much of a journaler on paper - and I am wary of doing something for my first LO that I wouldn't have time or energy to do for a 2nd or 3rd LO.
Instead, I took biweekly (or, triweekly) bump photos and put "memories" on the side, like decorating the nursery, seeing him on the 3D ultrasound with the grandparents, etc. I combined these pictures, all of my ultrasound photos, nursery photos, and early labor / after birth photos into a photobook on Shutterfly. Most of the pages have captions & journaling-style descriptions. Hopefully I'll follow through with later LOs!

I kept a Word document on my computer but looking back it's really just physical symptoms and how miserable I was! haha
