Pregnancy scrapbook ??'s

After much trying, and praying, My husband and I are expecting our second child. I'm just over 10 weeks today, but I'm already starting to "show". I have 2 ultrasound pics, and I have taken belly pics every Friday for the last 3 weeks.
I was thinking about scrapping them, but I wasn't sure if I should wait a while or just start with what I have??? Should I do a whole album, or just a mini album??? Should I include the journalling from my pregnancy journal???
I never thought to do these things when I was pregnant with my Son, so I really have no idea where to start.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I started right after I took my test and it was positive!
I am doing a 8.5x11 album. I like those best.

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Now... I say, whatever you can scrap now, DO IT! I had huge dreams of scrapping my pregnancy, but I kept putting it off... now that the kiddo is here, those pages aren't gonna get done. I have too much else to scrap! I only got one page done and a little bit of journalling, and I wish I had more. If you have a succession of pictures that you wanna scrap later to show how your belly grows, that's fine... you can still scrap those later!

Good luck!

i wish i had been a scrapper when i was pregnant!! all those pictures not taken, journaling not recorded...

anyway...i say scrap those pictures now. journal now while the emotions are strong and fresh in your mind. write down all the little details. it's all so exciting! besides, i think you'll enjoy doing it now more than after the baby is born. once a little one comes along, you'll need time to scrap all those cute little baby pics! (and who has much time with a brand new baby?)

as for album size... i think i would go small...8x8 or 8x11. i think it's more personal that way.

and CONGRATS!!!!

Yeah, I was kinda thinking about doing it in 8x8. Thanks for the feedback ladies!

Congratulations!

One of the best pregnancy albums I have ever seen was done by Kadordea. You can check it out on pages 2 and 3 in her gallery. She has some great ideas.

I say "What are you waiting for?!!" get to scrapping... like the other ladies said there won't be much time after and then the burning desire to do so will be gone. Remember, you can make this the beginning of his/her first year book if you'd like, after all that is really the beginning right? Then if you decide you really want it separate, just move the pages out of their pp and into a new album. no problemo.

Oh, Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I made a couple of belly layouts for this pregnancy. While I want to scrap the belly pics, I don't want to scrap 40 weeks-one-per-page iykwim.

I think I'm going to separate the weekly belly pics in to Trimesters and make a collage of each trimester on Picassa and print that collage out as a 5x7. That way 3 lay out for the whole 40 weeks.

Then I'm gonna do a page for cravings. One for boobie stretch marks (@#%!@!$) One for the + preg test. One for kicks and one for each one of the scans. Plus any other mile stones that come to mind.

What I did was take belly pic's for every month. So I have the day I found out, 1-9 months and the belly shot in the hospital. I also included the ultra-sound pic's with the belly shots. Then in my son first year album I put those first. I figure it shows where he started from to when he was born and so on. Congrats by the way! My hubby and I are trying now for our second one!

Congrats, and you better get to scrapping while you still can! My very first scrapbook was of my first pregnancy. I scrapped the usual ultrasound pics, pics from the showers, the nursery, in the hospital, coming home, etc. Here are a few of my faves:

Best of luck to you! :-)

Thanks for the insight ladies. I think I will get this started very soon!
