Is anyone crazy like me and having a hard time picking out their baby book?
DH and I are soooooo sentimental, both of our parents still have our baby books so I wanted something that was classic, would hold up over the years, etc.

I found this website, this lady does custom baby books

Way Cool Designs - monogrammed baby albums Baby books 10% off Sale Plano monogrammed baby books Lewisville monogrammed baby books McKinney monogrammed baby books Houston monogrammed baby books Atlanta monogrammed baby books Austin monogrammed baby bo

I did mine over the phone, the lady was so incredibly nice! I was freaked out because my baby shower is only three weeks from tomorrow and I still didn't find anything. The neat thing is that she also does the matching photo albums as well.

Just wanted to pass this along because I thought they were really unique! I can't wait till mine is done!

$99 + $19 to monogram. You also get to pick the "style" of your pages (They have different themed ones) It's really neat.

Dd's baby book came from Walmart, i actually really like it. My mom & dad still have our baby books too, its neat to thumb through it. Samantha's is already filled out as much as it can be for now. The next entry is year 2, so i will be doing that this summer. I plan to get one for Charlotte too, i just have to find one i like.

You should post some pics when you get yours, i want to see what it looks like.

Oh, I thought it was high too but it was exactly what I had pictured (if that makes sense) and I was really running out of time!

We just have a lot of family/friends who are buying baby stuff (My shower is in 3 weeks, someone has already purchased our bedding! I am absolutely shocked) I figured since it was our first baby and we really didn't have a lot of "huge" expenses, it was okay to go a teeny bit nuts

Holly, you go nuts as much as you want....or until your hubby says stop. Lol. I looked at that page & think the baby books are absolutely adorable. Can't wait to see yours.

LOL, he's really patient with me believe it or not. I think it is so cute how he gets over little dresses and "girly" stuff. I ordered a dress set the other day but I didn't take it out of the box, when I came into the kitchen the dress (and two other outfits) were laid out on our dining room table. I was like, "Did you do this?" and he was like, "Yeah, I was just looking at them"

I thought that was adorable!

Those are so cute!! I have a feeling I'm not going to be good about the baby book...I should get like the simplest, most basic baby book and maybe i'll keep up with that...maybe.

I did baby books for all my older kids. I got my girls' books at Hallmark, and my son's at Babies-R-Us. I liked the Hallmark ones better...I think they were like $30-$35. I will look there again this time. They're really cute and seem very sturdy.

That is adorable! I wish df would get a little more into those things...but he doesnt until after the baby is born. But, he still to this day dresses dd in clothes that dont match....drives me nuts. Lol.

Those are some cute baby books and I agree, if you've got the money go for it. I will say that when DS was born I ended up receiving 2 baby books and 2 scrapbook-type calendars. All four had personalized notes in them, too, so there was no returning them. The good news I'm set in the baby book department for awhile!
