Scrapbooking: Pregnant Belly Pics

Becoming a mother is the most blessed event in a woman’s life. Feeling the movement of another life inside of your body cannot be expressed in words. Every day brings a new challenge and a new discovery about your baby that will bring joy to your heart.

Let your pregnancy be a time of being proud of your expanding belly. Many men have said that their wives/significant others were never more beautiful than when they were carrying a child. So show off that big ball of baby!

Picture Ideas:

• Keep a photo record of each month of pregnancy by taking a belly shot. It seemed to me as if my belly grew overnight. But, pictures will tell the true story.
• Take a camera to the doctor’s office with you at your monthly visits. Each time he rubs the gel on your belly to hear the heartbeat, take a picture. When you go for your ultrasound have the technician label the baby’s anatomy on the printout so that you can keep it to show friends and family.
• Let daddy put his hands and ears to your belly to feel and hear his child. Ask someone take a picture to remember this bonding moment. If this is not your first baby, have your other children stand next to you or get a picture of them snuggling on your belly.

Scrapbooking Ideas:

• Don’t throw away the reminder cards for your doctor’s visits. Keep them to go along with the belly pictures you took each month. Incorporate the ultrasound picture into your scrapbook, too. Scrapbook paper with storks carrying babies would make a neat background for your belly photos.
• Frame your pictures with colored cardboard to make them stand out. You may need to design more than one page for all of the monthly belly photos. When your child grows older and looks back over these photographs, he will see how much he was loved – even before birth.
