Growing You: Keepsake Pregnancy Journal and Memory Book for Mom and Baby (Heirloom Story Books and Guided Journals)

Love love love this journal. So much so, I purchased another 5 years later for my next baby!

I loved this during my pregnancy. It has a functional pocket in the back that you can put the appointment reminder cards or sonogram pictures. I was able to document my entire pregnancy and not have to think of what to write because they give you prompts. Perfect for pregnant lady with brain fog.

This is such a precious keepsake, totally worth it! So glad I got it

Beautiful design, lots of space for organizing and writing.

I bought this for my sister and was very impressed with the quality. The outside is almost like a canvas material. The pages are sturdy and my sister really liked how it was set up like a journal so she can document everything during her pregnancy. There’s even a place where family can write their guesses on gender! Highly recommend if you or someone you know is expecting!

Overall a beautiful book. I like that it’s hardcover. It seems to cover the basics of what I’ll need. Extras I’ll add in as needed (e.g. hospital packing list, newborn baby info. Need to know, charts, mommy stats). I was looking for a replacement or something similar to what I had for my first pregnancy. A book through Cigna’s HPHB program. I loved that book and it gave so many resources!! That aside, the pictures and description is what you get. It is a sturdy hardcover and the illustrations are pretty. I am a bit concerned with only having 16 appointment slots as I believe there will be a total more than that. And the space under each isn’t a whole lot so I had better be concise. Very cute is that it has a place for the baby footprints and birth stats. Not sure what kind of a writer I am but the pages in the back for letters is very sweet and versatile. Also I thought it was funny and cute the pages in the front for people who guess either boy or girl. As we all know everyone will have an opinion or guess.

Bought this for my newly expecting daughter in law. She was totally over the moon with it. So excited to start filling it in. Looks wonderful and provides a great space for storing all those baby scans. So overall I could not be more happy with it, arrived in 24 hours and was very well wrapped.

This book has been so special during my pregnancy! I actually look forward to writing in it every single month to reflect how each month has gone by. I also love that it’s very simple and there aren’t so many pages to sit and fill out. I can’t wait to read back through it for years to come.

Quality good but content is too much repetitive

I am a very picky customer when it comes to journals and notebooks, so it took me a week or so to review all possible options of pregnancy journals in English and German available on the market. I found this one to be the best fit for me as I wanted a lot of place for writing my impressions about each month of pregnancy and a minimum of pregnancy advices as my mobile pregnancy apps have plenty of those and I see no point in saving them for years on my bookshelf. I also did not expect much place for photos as I was making a 1 second a day video anyway. Thus, if your priorities are the same as mine - this is a perfect journal for you. The quality of materials is great, the journal itself is definitely worth of those 28 euros:D My only warning is not to rush with filling it out maybe till the end of 12th week of pregnancy or so. Just write your emotions and answers to the quiestions in some separate plain notebook, so you don't forget them. I was too emotional and did the first and second months, started to write the guesses about the gender, dates of appointments.... And, unfortunately, lost my pregnancy at 8 weeks. Now it really hurts me to think of it and I am not sure if I will reuse it for my future pregnancy (if any) or I will have to purchase a new one so my child does not wonder why some dates are corrected when he or she gets older. But even if I decide to get a new one - I will definitely order the same journal as it is exactly what I want to have as a memory about my pregnancy.

It has many pages so it is very useful and can be changed according to how you feel for the day.

I absolutely love this. It’s part planner and part journal. It’s very pretty and will age well. Some people have said “not enough space for pictures”. I suppose that’s true that there aren’t a lot of designated spots but you could totally add some. I like the Polaroid minis for something like this. I also read that the questions are repetitive. Maybe a little but they definitely progress and it’s a really cool way to watch how you evolved during your pregnancy. I like it a lot.

The quality of the book and paper is great, and I love the content. The questions are relevant and personal, I love the envelope at the back for keepsakes, and the space for family members to leave notes/letters. I am always looking forward to filling in the coming month, and I cannot wait for my child to have this book.
