So, when you have some free time this weekend, why not create a pregnancy scrapbook? Even though your pregnancy is unplanned, you should still make the most of it and try to enjoy it whenever possible. Regardless of what you ultimately decide about either making an adoption plan or a parenting plan, a pregnancy scrapbook can be a great way to remember your pregnancy as well as a neat keepsake item for your child in the future. Plus, it could also relieve some stress by channeling some energy into something positive. Why not invite some girlfriends over, make a “girl night in “out of it, and crop till you drop!
Making a pregnancy scrapbook doesn’t have to be as involved as it may sound. It doesn’t have to be fancy or elaborate (unless you want to do fancy and elaborate) but rather a place to record pregnancy milestones and photos. You could opt to make this the old fashioned way or the new technological junkie way digitally.
What should you include in a pregnancy scrapbook? Anything related to pregnancy of course! Be creative! Anything goes; you are only limited by your imagination!
Some ideas of things you could include in a pregnancy scrapbook:
- Ultrasound photos (You could try this cute layout involving ultrasound photos.)
- Belly progression photos
- Photo of pregnancy test
- Record of stats from each doctors visit (weight, belly growth, etc.)
- Confirmation of pregnancy sheet from doctor
- Calendar pages that you jot down pregnancy milestones on (like when you felt the first kick)
- Memorabilia (such as labels from the foods you were craving)
- Journaling
