In my first pregnancy I tracked my growing preggo belly with an iPhone pic every few weeks. Thought I would do something a little more memorable the second time around and involve my son as well. Each picture I wrote the week of pregnancy I was at, the ‘fruit’ the baby would be the size of and the age of Levi. I know you can’t see it all very well in the pics, but hopefully a printed version will show better. I think I’ll print it off and put in my daughter’s room.
It took me 10 months to get this put together and once it was I just loved to see how my baby grew into a little boy along with my belly. However, I almost cropped my head out of the 2nd trimester pics – ugh, that hair was bad news! But nobody told me – maybe because I was pregnant….and irrational….and emotional…and did I mention pregnant? I knew I was having a girl cause she took all my sweetness.
She’s my sweet little flower (puke, I know; but really she is). Read her VBAC birth story here and our journey with her esophagitis here.
Such a sweet idea! You looked adorable the whole time too which is amazing. There was no camera coming near me at 38 weeks!
Thanks for sharing this,
Kate
Aw that’s sweet, Thanks Kate. I know what you are saying too – I definitely looked better than I felt!
That is so precious! I especially love the last pic with the two babies. Great idea to use the chalkboard too. I always think I’ll remember the details of a picture and I soon forget! 🙂
Thanks Jo, though I can’t take credit for the idea – I saw it on Pinterest. You are right, we take so many pictures it’s hard to remember all the details!
