Hello, I'm Pregnant: A Journal

The book will be divided by 4 tabs, 1 for each trimester and the fourth for the first month of motherhood and extras. Each section will contain roughly half content/activity pages and half journal pages to record the excitement, fear and thoughts that accompany those months. The trimesters include variations on the "fruits of your labour" and a chart for emotional mood swings, plus room for pasting in first ultrasound photos and photos of the growing bump. A sturdy plastic (or fabric) envelope will be attached to the back cover to hold appointment cards, test results and other important documents and mementos. Hello I'm Pregnant! will serve as both a journal and a keepsake for the modern mum.
