When you bring your baby home, you have the best of
intentions to document every little milestone. The big problem with that logic
is that you have just brought your baby home.
Newborns have a knack for sucking all of that lovely scrap booking energy
right out of your body.
Some of the most important information I’m sure you’ll want
to keep is your little one’s progress as documented from his/her pedi visits.
That stuff is gold to new parents, right?
Don’t tell yourself you’ll do it later. You won’t. Don’t put
it in a special pile in a special place and tell yourself you’ll just spend a
weekend assembling it all at once. You won’t.
The only way you’re going to keepsake this
whole mess of memories is to walk straight through the door, fresh home from
the doctor’s office, straight to your baby book and enter Baby’s progress right
then and there. It takes just a couple of minutes to do it, and over time you’ll
have documented all the juicy medical stuff that your teenager will be
embarrassed about when you show his prom date.
