My husband and I learned we were pregnant just a few weeks ago, and I went searching for a pregnancy journal in our local bookstore. Instead, I walked away with this beautiful book I'd like to give to my mother. Blame it on the hormones, but I nearly cried reading the sweet quotes inside this book. It is very evenly split between grandmother documenting her own life and milestones, and her new grandchild's (particularly how she feels about her grandchild). This is NOT a baby book, but a lifetime of memories that grandmother can fill in about her life, her family, and the early years of her grandchild.Here's what I love about the book:*Beautifully illustrated with colourful vintage pictures*Sweet, thoughtful and even funny quotes inside*Not religious (so many baby books I looked through had Hanukkah pages, Christmas pages, Halloween and Easter pages) Instead, this book has a section titled "Holidays & special events we have shared together"*You don't HAVE to fill in EVERY milestone (1st birthday, etc). Instead, the contents are worded, "Some of your birthdays", which is fantastic.*nice large size, with lots of space for writing*many many places to put photos!Cons:*there's a tiny bit of bubbling on the paper part of the cover, but it's hardly noticeable. This might need to be re-glued over the years though.*It's possible there are actually too many places to put photos. I wonder if the spine is thick enough to accommodate all the places!
