One of the most exciting times in a woman’s life is becoming a mom. You might be inclined to document your pregnancy, especially if this is your first. This can lead many women to question what is the best way to do this. The answer really is going to depend on you. If you are the artsy type you might enjoy putting together a scrapbook. If you don’t have the time or desire to create something that elaborate, then journaling and writing your thoughts in a diary may be more your style. Or you may decide to do both!

Myself, I prefer to journal, but I am going to give you six quick tips on how to create your perfect pregnancy memento. More on Tips for Creating a Pregnancy Scrapbook/Journal
