Expecting You — A Keepsake Pregnancy Journal Diary – March 24, 2016

What an absolutely beautiful journal! I just received mine today and went through every page. It is a beautiful and very pretty journal book. The quotes and designs are really subtly feminine, but very gender-neutral for the baby.I like that it's not goofy, corny, or silly like other pregnancy journals. I bought a friend of mine From Pea to Pumpkin, which was very pretty, and had some beautiful, watercolor-y-like pictures, but some of the fill-in-the-blank or multiple-choice-like questions turn me off. This journal is definitely one for a writer. The questions are very open-ended, and you get a lot of space for writing. Some of the reviewers describe this as "repetitive," but I think of it as more open-ended. I also noted that a lot of reviewers mention that there's no place to put pictures, but there are many pages that only have stationary designs on them that you could put pictures on (but wouldn't necessarily have to put a picture on it for it to look pretty).I was a little turned off that it uses "months" and not "weeks," but on the other hand I am glad you don't have a whole page dedicated to every blessed week. (Like, I really didn't feel that different form week 4 to week 5!) I went through today and divided up the months as "Month 1: Week 4,5,6,7" "Week 2: Week 8,9,10,11" and doing that will bring you perfectly to the end of 39 weeks on the last month page. The open-endedness also means that the structure isn't so rigid: if you don't have a 12-week ultrasound for example, there wouldn't be a page you'll awkwardly have to skip; if you don't have a husband, male partner, or any partner at all, you won't have any problems.All in all, I think it's beautiful and I'm so glad I found it!

This was such a sweet journal to keep while pregnant. It includes the best prompts to help you reflect and record significant and special memories. Also such a great price. It's cute and great quality, aesthetically pleasing throughout, and gives lot's of pages and lines to write about each topic. Plenty of room. Great price!

This is so cute! I did a pregnancy journal with my daughter, so I wanted to do one for my son too! I ordered this one because the reviews were great! It’s a very open ended journal, there are only a couple prompted writing topics in the beginning of the new month but the rest of the pages are note pages, which allows you to write whatever you want. I like it, it’s cute, the color is great, the quotes are cute, it’s not 100% what I was looking for but it serves its purpose well! If you’re looking for a journal that has places for family history, family tree, places about mom and dad, this does not have it, but it’s great for the basic pregnancy stuff.

It is a beautiful notebook to track moments during the pregnancy. While it has some sections specific to mothers, it is more focused on the baby rather than the mother's thoughts and feelings.

I got this journal for my best friend who’s pregnant with her first little one. I know she doesn’t journal regularly, so I wanted a simple journal that was pretty straightforward, but that she could include all the little details if she chose to do so. We also didn’t know the gender at the time, and I liked that it’s a really cute, Gender neutral journal. The name “Expecting You” kind of sold me too, because I thought it was precious!

I love this book. It is simple! There is plenty of room to write in it. The questions are different for each month besides the "how are you feeling/ how has your body changed/ what are you most excited for/what are you doing to prepare. There are plenty of prompts after those basic questions! I love being able to look back at the previous months and read what i read and see how i have progressed. I also taped in my ultrasound pics to the appropriate months. Just a really amazing keepsake. I would recommend this to any mother. It's very aesthetically pleasing.

After moving everything out of our bedrooms for new carpeting, I was unpacking a box of books. There was the little yellow pregnancy journal I had written in while I was pregnant with my now four year old! I sat on the floor and ended up reading it cover to cover. I cried through the whole thing. I am SO grateful for this journal. To have all of those memories and intimate stories written to my daughter before she existed out of my womb….I wasn’t even the same person that I am now. This journal is now priceless to me. I can’t wait to have this to give to my daughter when she grows up. It’s now going in my fire safe. This is how much it means to me. So nearly 5 years later, I am writing this 5 ⭐️ review. Just get the journal and actually use it. It has beautiful quotes and prompts throughout it. Buy it, Buy it for your best friend or sister who just announced their pregnancy. They will thank you and treasure it ❤️

I love this. It is so cute. It has a section for each month of pregnancy. In each section there is a beautiful quote having something to do with pregnancy or babies. Then in each section/month there are writing areas where it asks how you are feeling, how you are getting ready for baby, how your body has changed, and what you are looking forward to. In addition to these areas that are the same in each month/section, there is a writing prompt area that is different for every month. This is definitely the best pregnancy book/journal I've seen out there. I only wish they also made a baby book for the first year as well!
