Tip for first time Moms!

(Side note: I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm sorry if this isn't the group for it)

Being pregnant is such an amazing feeling and obviously a miracle and blessing at the same time. At the beginning of my first pregnancy, I decided to keep a journal. Right away I wrote in it every day about what I felt, symptoms, fears, etc. Eventually I started to write every couple of weeks (I teach so I was off in the summer and I had time to write every day). Once my daughter arrived months later, I kept the journal going. I write to her now and I plan to give her the journal someday. I write one page to her each month telling her what's she's doing, things Daddy and I love, new moments, anything that comes to mind. On her first birthday, we had family write little notes to her as well. I'm not sure how long I'll keep it going, but right now I love doing it!

Over the weekend, we found out we are expecting #2 and so I will now begin a new journal for the new baby. Because it's so easy to forget things from pregnancy to pregnancy, I also am excited to go back and see how I felt the first time around and compare. From one Mommy to another, I just wanted to throw it out there! Wishing you all the very best!
