My Pregnancy Journal- MDS Blog Hop

Welcome to the MDS Blog Hop!  This week out theme is Summer Vacation!  I may have stretched the theme a little bit this week, but I really don't have any summer vacation pictures and have been wanting to share this for a while now.

While I was pregnant last SUMMER (that is where I think my project fits this weeks theme! :) ) I kept a journal of my pregnancy in My Digital Studio using an 8 1/2" x 11" album.  I would right in it every few weeks and always answered the same 16 questions and then wrote out the birth story at the end of the journal.   

Here are the first few pages...

And here are a few pages from the middle of the journal...

And here are the last few pages...

The finished project is a 42 page soft cover album!  I decided to get the soft cover album because I had never seen one from Stampin' Up! before and wanted to see one.....it is so nice and perfect for my journal! 

We did not find out if we were having a boy or a girl, so I started out with a very neutral color pallet and kept the entire journal simple and uniform.  You can kind of tell on the individual pages as they get later and later into my pregnancy the baby image from the stamp set All in the Family gets darker and darker representing the baby in my belly getting bigger and bigger! :)   

I think this will be great for me to look back at and also for Hannah to look back at when she gets older!   I am SOO happy with the way this project turned out!
