Pregnancy Keepsakes

Hi all,

Just curious do you know of any pregnancy keepsakes that were definitely worth it or something you think is an absolute must and great to look back on.

Here are the ones I know so far.

Journal of the Pregnancy

Belly Cast

Calendar of the Pregnancy

Pictures of the belly collage.

Anymore ideas? Thanks for the help!



P.S. how do you make breaks in the post so you can move down a line?

Re: Pregnancy Keepsakes

Hmm sonogram pictures/book/collage... 3d/4D pix and video.... keep and date the "S" you "P'd" on
professional maternity pics if you're getting 'em...
a pregnancy scrapbook
DH sent me flowers a few times with nice cards while I was pg; I should've kept those, but usually I was pizzed at him and the cards would say "sorry you married such a dum dum"

OMG yes I mean to add that too, belly casts make me they just FREAK me out; I much prefer pics, the casts look like fossilized remains to me

Oh and I saved both my and the babies' hospital bracelets

Re: Pregnancy Keepsakes

I agree with Colette-the belly cast thing freaks me out. Plus, what are you really going to do with it? It will wind up collecting dust!

These are my keepsakes:

Yes gross, but the HPTs (I still love looking at them!)
My sono pics in an album in the order they were taken (any album will do)
Weekly belly pics (I've been really good-the only week I didn't actually do them was 28 weeks, but that was because my shower was that day and I have those pics)

I don't see a need to spend any more money. This includes calendars and things of that nature.

Re: Pregnancy Keepsakes

I got a pregnancy journal from my BFF so I write in that once a week. It has folders for each trimester, so I put sonogram pics in there.

I take belly pics with my cell (lol) and have those saved on my computer. Nothing formal.

Will be taking professional maternity pics with Lexi-Bella Photography. Will TRY to do an album with the pics later on.

I think that's all we're doing in terms of keepsakes.
