Do you want to make a handmade baby album during your pregnancy? Here are some ideas!

I bought the handmade notebook for pregnancy journal. 


  1. Title: My baby album

  3. (Write some messages for you baby for example) Life before you: Dear XXX, This is the story about the days before and after you were born. You are growing into such a sweet, curious, smart and funny little person. Even before we knew you were coming to join our family, we already thought of you each day and you are part of us. You brought so much light into our lives. You were our first little miracle. You’re the BEST Gift for us and thank you for coming into our lives. Please know that no matter where we might be we will always love and support you. Happy birthday, my love. Love, Mommy and Daddy
