Mommy and Baby: Make A Scrapbook Especially For Mommy And Baby

One of the most special events in life is the birth of a child.  New
moms experience a variety of feelings from joy to insecurity.  There is
no better way to capture these special memories than with a scrapbook
dedicated especially to Mommy and baby.

Your scrapbook could begin as
soon as the very day the proud parents-to-be announce that a new addition
to the family will be arriving soon.   Here a few ideas that will make
your Mommy and baby scrapbook as special as the relationship between
mother and child.

Photos of the mom-to-be while awaiting the birth of the child can make
for wonderful memories.  Baby shower pictures, shower invitations, and
guest lists make great additions to a scrapbook.  Notes from prenatal
doctor visits and accounts of the experiences of the mother during
pregnancy are excellent ideas as well.

After the birth of the new baby, you
could include birth announcements, photos of the new mom and baby
leaving the hospital, and the reaction of siblings to the new baby. All
would be great ways to preserve these special memories.
As the baby grows and moves from one stage in his or her development to
another, take plenty of pictures and keep a journal handy to write down
special occasions and milestones that can be included in your Mommy and
baby scrapbook.  Pictures of a new mother holding her baby for the
first time make especially powerful additions to a scrapbook.

Remembering visitors and gifts that were received at the time of the
birth will be fond remembrances of the very special times that go hand in
hand with the birth of a child.  Preserve your memories and a scrapbook
devoted especially to Mommy and baby.  It will no doubt become a
treasured family heirloom.
