Bad mom

I'm drinking a margarita and trying to attempt to fill in my daughter's baby book... it seems like I'm SO far behind... I mean I've done stuff as I go but still, I feel like there's SO much more!! Who knew it could be so much work to fill in the baby book? Certainly not me...

*grabs margarita, takes a sip and continues writing* 

Re: Bad mom

  • I haven't started yet!  I'm afraid I'll forget things so I better get on it, too.

  • You are an amazing mom. Bella is so lucky. I don't think 95% of people get "Baby's First Year" done in that year. I'm bad. I was so busy with my old job that I decided to document it with video rather than write it down. I like to think I'm modern.

    SO modern! We just bought a camcorder and I've been using it, it's so much fun! I want to get caught up because I feel like it's constantly haunting me. Next kid, I'm buying a book a SOON as we find out the gender and then filling it out as I'm pushing the kid out :) 

  • You are not a bad mom!!  Enjoy your margarita.  Just try not to spill on book.  Hahaha...  I try and update Ben's after each doctor visit.  That way, I know fresh in my head what his weight/height is.

    The margarita was delish! It made it so much easier! I ended up getting some stuff done, there's still more to do. It's the milestones that I have written in my planner or on my blog that I need to transfer to the book... such work! She's worth it though!

    This is what I am doing.  I have a WordDoc called Milestones and just add to it as I can.  My plan is to make a digital baby book to commemorate Libby's first year.  That way I can tweak it and make copies for the grandparents too.

    I love the books that this mama makes for her daughter:

    I doubt I can make something as perfect as hers, but it's the thought that counts, right?
