You can set your Tumblr private if privacy is an issue :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183676 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 18:36:23 +0000 HabesBabe 183676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meggo5: I have the same book! And I fall behind, too... I like having a hard copy/real book vs. blogging (just my own taste)-- plus, I know I would be even more behind if I had to blog about stuff. I feel like I need to write more when I'm blogging instead of just jotting down "OB appt today. Heart rate was 145bpm." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183675 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 18:33:26 +0000 chopsuey 183675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I blogged with LO. Haven't been blogging as often about pregnancy #2.. yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183674 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 18:32:07 +0000 MsMini 183674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did an electronic journal, just using my word processing program. I plan on making it into a photo book with pregnancy progress pics, ultrasound pics, general pictures we took throughout the pregnancy and such. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183660 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 18:01:59 +0000 Andrea 183660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I think if it is ongoing then online is definitely easier but I only did it during pregnancy and for a few months after DD was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183650 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 17:50:37 +0000 WALLAROO 183650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I use Wordpress and just keep it private. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183642 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 17:42:12 +0000 banana 183642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea: I love paper too! :) It just seems easier to type and upload photos than to write and print out pictures, so I wasn't sure of which way to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183629 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 17:26:48 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 183629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennylynn: I did that too, and still keep it up so that I'll have something special to hand the girls when they grow up and they can see what I was thinking and feeling during their childhoods! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183627 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 17:26:14 +0000 Andrea 183627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: oh ya, my hand writing has gotten so poor but it is legible! Hehe. No, I didn't really take bump pictures. But I did do a maternity shoot and I have the photos in a really nice bound leather book so DD will get that, too. I have my sonograms in her baby book. As you can see, I like paper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183623 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 17:23:00 +0000 banana 183623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea: I'd love to do a handwritten journal but I hate my handwriting and end up hating the way it looks! haha. Do you also print pictures out and put them in your journal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183620 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 17:21:27 +0000 Andrea 183620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a hand written journal. I feel like it will stand the test of time and I can hand it down to my DD. A blog out in cyberspace doesn't have the same feel to me. I am old fashioned! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183572 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:24:00 +0000 bpcmarj 183572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started a journal when we found out we were pregnant. It wasn't something that I wrote in everyday, just when the moment struck. She's a month old, and I have only written in it once since the birth. My Mom had a journal for me that she gave to me at my baby shower. Hers also had notes on labor and delivery which I thought was really interesting. I plan on writing in it until she's an adult and then give it to her someday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183571 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:23:20 +0000 banana 183571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WALLAROO: What kind of electronic journal do you use? I' want to start journaling too but I'm skeptical of posting anything on the internet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183567 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:18:46 +0000 jennylynn 183567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a handwritten journal written to LO to give her someday, and I also blogged. I'm still keeping up with both now after pregnancy, and I already really love to go back and read about being pregnant. It makes me miss it :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183425 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 14:09:39 +0000 WALLAROO 183425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am still early along in my pregnancy but I am documenting just by the week (for now) in an electronic journal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183411 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 14:04:07 +0000 heffalump 183411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do it, but wish I would have. Too late now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183408 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 14:02:32 +0000 Rubies 183408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blogging was my way of documenting my pregnancy. While I love writing, I can type faster and would express myself better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-journaling#post-183406 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:57:41 +0000 Periwinkle 183406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am generally not great at Journaling, but felt like I wanted to take this on at the beginning of pregnancy do that I could look back in the future and see how I was feeling and what was going on for me during the various stages of my pregnancy (this is #1). </p> <p>I debated between going electronic or paper and pencil and in the end, the old fashioned way won out. I have been using THE PREGNANCY JOURNAL (Harris) and like that I can learn about that day's changes and also write a few notes about how I'm feeling. I find, however, that I fall a few weeks behind between picking it up and spend a lot of time catching up with back-posts. </p> <p>I almost wish that I had gone electronic and then printed it out/had a book made in the end so that I could incorporate pictures and other images. Perhaps I will translate the hard copy at some point down the line. </p> <p>What, if anything, have to used to document this pregnancy? </p>
