I've been meaning to complete this project for a while now and finally got around to it Friday night when Dent was on his monthly campout with the scouts. I can always plan a project and a good movie when he's gone! Each of my children has a notebook that accompanies us to the doctor, for me to record my questions for the dr. and to keep tabs on the kid's progress, new info and immunizations. I finally aquired a book for the new little guy on the way because OB visits sometimes have as much to be recorded as a trip to the pediatrician.
I kind of wish I would have found more neutral colored notebooks to cover so the spiral didn't show something so different, but it's not enough to bother me that much. Cooper's book began when we started investigating in vitro so I could keep all my notes in one place. Our complete journey through injections, medications, embryos, etc. is documented and it transitions into his conception, pregnancy, delivery and now keeps his notes on his well-child visits as well as immunization records.
Seneca's will hold all of the info we have from the first phone call we received letting us know she was in existence- two weeks before she was born and compared to the first two children, this last one seems kind of boring! However, it's interesting to see how a naturally-occuring pregnancy after a C-section develops and it's fun for Cooper to look and see pictures of his brothers... he thinks each ultrasound picture is a different brother.. can you imagine the madness?!
Anyway, the books finally got cute covers and are back on the shelf until the next trip to the dr. Check that one off the list!

They look great; fun idea!
those are gorgeous! you're so creative!
Way to go. I love a good project and movie when the hubs is gone for the night and the kids are in bed! Wish we could get together and do these fun things!
That's a great idea. I second Nancy's "you're so creative!"
Such a great idea. Thanks for sharing now I need to make some for my little guys.
I think they look great. I might have to steal that idea someday.
You are way more organized that I am. I don't have one word written down about my pregnancy or Gwen (no first words, first step etc.) I'm a bad mom.
They look fantastic, and what a great way to keep all that info in one place! What a together mom you are. I could use a bit of that -- can you spare some together?
And... happy birthday!
Wow what gorgeous paper you used on Seneca's book! I wonder where I can get some like that...
This is SUCH a great idea, too bad I've got nuthin' of the sort for any of my children...!
