I've been quieter than normal today I can't wait to show you ladies why...DD and I decided we've been spending way to mcuh time watching tv and on the computer so I am making the most of our electronic free time.
So I've decided the blog idea was just not me. But I still want to document this pregnancy so I decided a homemade journal was definitly me, I love to scrap even though I am not that great. Here are is the journal so far.

Page 1: 
Back: 
I plan on putting belly pics and hpt pics on the first page front, Not sure what I want to but on the back yet with the calender (and yes it is the day by month calender from JM)

Jessica - while this is very nice and not a sad attempt at all this kind of post may be better suited for pal or a ddc. I don't want to hurt your feelings but others struggling after a loss may be hurt.
Its a great idea!

Very nice. I plan on putting something together. I think it will be great to show the baby when it gets older.

I kind of agree with this not being here, but I kind of don't. I know I personally didn't feel okay looking at it the first few times I saw the title, but I'm wondering how this is any different from our other grads posting, for example, ultrasound pics. Is it because it's not literally baby-specific? Or is it because it's not so much, "Look how far I've come, have hope, this can be you too," but because it's just a random expression of happiness that could best be understood in PAL/DDC? *confused* If you feel like a further discussion of this particular point might make Jessica feel bad, then please forget I posted this in the first place and just ignore my musings.

Jessica I think your journal is a neat idea! And I do not want to hurt your feeling but I kind of agree that this is something that should be posted in grads/pal/or ddc. I think it is one thing for grads to post ultrasound pictures because they give us hope but I think this is too pregnancy related if that makes any sense. Again I do not want to stir up anything but I felt that I should voice my opinion.
