It;s not exactly what I would want, but we'll be able to make it work. There are certain milestones I would want recorded that are not listed, and others that make me scratch my head.<br /> I hope I do manage to keep it up to date, my mom filled my whole first year in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-and-complete-a-baby-book#post-13490 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:04:23 +0000 SAHM0811 13490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my DD is almost 4 and I have yet to complete her's :/ that's bad!!! I did however update our family website monthly so at least I can go to that for reference. Baby #2 also has a book yet to be filled...</p> <p>I loved looking at my own baby book growing up, so I definitely want to give my girls such a keepsake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-and-complete-a-baby-book#post-13443 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:50:24 +0000 HabesBabe 13443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bee-- I would totally take one of those extra baby books off your hands ;)</p> <p>I want to get one &amp; fill it out-- I'm pretty good w/ my pregnancy diary so far. I actually didn't think that I would want/need one until after the baby was here, but I've been reading through the pages and a lot of them have to do with the pregnancy/pre-arrival events.</p> <p>Any suggestions for a good all-in-one baby book? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-and-complete-a-baby-book#post-13413 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:12:55 +0000 Andrea 13413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jenna - I am using a Ruby Love baby book. I love it, too. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-and-complete-a-baby-book#post-13408 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:09:50 +0000 mrsjyw 13408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love looking through my baby book! My mom was pretty good at completing one and even writing us letters! :) I hope to keep one up for our future babies. And will share my blog with them in the future as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-and-complete-a-baby-book#post-13380 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:03:42 +0000 Jenna 13380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on buying a baby book from Ruby Love-- I got one for my cousin as a baby shower gift and I loved it. </p> <p>My mom was very diligent in keeping a baby book for both my brother and me. She even wrote in it for the bigger life events up until age 10 or so (i.e. getting my tonsils removed). I love looking back at it now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-and-complete-a-baby-book#post-13378 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:01:23 +0000 looch 13378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I fill it out monthly. I also keep a daily diary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-and-complete-a-baby-book#post-13374 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 13:51:18 +0000 duetletterpress 13374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i bought one. never once wrote in it. instead i keep an online journal + a box to put her mementos in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-and-complete-a-baby-book#post-13355 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 13:08:23 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 13355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I purchased this book<br /> <a href="http://blushink.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/img_1489.jpeg" rel="nofollow">http://blushink.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/img_1489.jpeg</a></p> <p>And LOVE IT.

I even made my hubby bring it to the hospital so we could fill everything out there, and I fill everything out after every doctor apt :) </p> <p>I have a friend with a 2 year old who showed me her empty baby book which made me determined to complete mine as time went on, since I love looking at my book... which isn't completed. Probably since I'm the 3rd kid so there was no time. I figure she's my first, no excuses, I'm getting it done!</p> <p>I think my biggest problem is getting pictures printed out to put in there, but I still try to sit down and do that every couple of months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-and-complete-a-baby-book#post-13327 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:35:13 +0000 Andrea 13327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 18 months now and I still have her baby book on my To Do List. I am trying to get it done by the end of 2011. It would have been so much better if I did it month by month as I am really having trouble remembering back! </p> <p>Lots of moms told me not to buy one and that I would be too busy to complete it but I am out to prove them wrong! I think my daughter will really like looking through it when she is older. I also kept a journal throughout my pregnancy and during my first months of motherhood for her. I guess I am old school paper since I do not blog! </p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-have-a-blog" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-have-a-blog</a> </p>
