I'm considering buying a book to journal in but I haven't found one I really like.
Do you journal if so are you making your own or did you buy something? Pictures & links are always welcomed.

I bought a pretty blank journal and have been trying to keep up with it, but i admit i've been slacking! I just bought one at barnes and noble that looked pretty! i've been putting my u/s pics in it and writing about my appointments, feelings, symptoms, etc.

@Pirouette: I want to do that but I'm afraid I won't keep up on it or ill forget to write something cute in it.
-
@Sugar.Biscuit: I was feeling really guilty yesterday when i realized i hadn't written in almost 2 weeks...and then i realized what it's for...for me it's basically a place to vent and share whatever is on my mind, and if i miss a few days here and there it's no big deal. i picked it up yesterday and wrote a few pages on things i didn't realize i'd been holding in, and it felt great! I don't think it matters if you write every day or once a month, it can still be a useful tool!

I "journal" daily, but its via an excel spreadsheet. LOL!!! I document how I'm feeling that day, cravings, doctor appointments (stats, how they went, etc.), and anything else I want to jot down. I keep up with it since I do it first thing each morning at work, and I'm in front of a computer all day. I plan to get a nice book book to transfer all the info into later on. At least it's all being captured somewhere right now.

I should...writing things down helps me sort out my emotions...next pregnancy I might actually do that.

@Alivoo01: I was wondering if DH would ever keep a journal & I had to lol when I saw your post. DH would so make a spreadsheet. He is so analytical and would understand numbers better then words & feelings on a piece of paper.
I just want to find a way to start keeping notes before I start forgetting things but it has to be cute!

I use this 5 year one line a day journal: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0811870197
It's perfect for me because I can write down 3 or 4 sentences summarizing my day. Each year you can look back and see what happened in years past, and how they compare! I write in it when I remember, which hasn't been that often lately.
-
I try to. I have the 10 year journal Mrs. Bee posted about a while back. I go back and catch up when I forget to write in it for a week or so.
I did keep up with M's baby book for her first year, though! I'm proud of myself for that.
-
I journaled first and second trimester but kind of haven't touched it since week 26 I think... http://www.amazon.com/The-Belly-Book-Nine-Month-Journal/dp/0307336182/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369936430&sr=8-1&keywords=belly+book
It's a really cute and fun journal though!
-
I want to bump this to get more ideas. I still haven't found what I want to use in order to document my pregnancy. I need ideas!
-
I had the Belly Book for my first pregnancy! Very cute journal.
-
I think I'm going to use Blurb.com to make my own book. I made our wedding album using this site and it turned out awesome! This way I can get creative, jot stuff down as I go, & make it my own with out cutting paper and using glue (I usually end up throwing the glue).
-
I use the belly book and also have a blank journal from target to write about my appointments, how I'm feeling, what DH and I have been doing to prepare for our LO, etc.
I did keep up with M's baby book for her first year, though! I'm proud of myself for that.
