Journal

I can't recall where I saw this idea or if it was even my own idea...pregnancy brain at it's finest. I just know that I've been kicking the idea around for awhile. I asked Elly if she would even want to do it and she immediately said yep and was really excited.

Basically it's a journal that only Elly and I can write in. (I told Big J he could read it but I know he won't, he's very respectful when it comes to these things.) We write notes to each other, color pictures in it, etc. We're making it up as we go too. I figured the first journal should be special so I ordered the above from Snapfish, little pricey but worth it. I think it turned out cute. I hope this will keep us close especially over the next few weeks when her little world will be rocked with a baby sister.

I have kept a journal for Naenah since the day I found out I was preggo. I write in it about two to three times a year.

A mommy about to have a baby and she is worried over how this sweet one affect her Elly. A loving mommma you truly are Kaci. Have faith in what wonderful parents you and Jon are. I have a feeling that you will be quite surprised at how well Elly takes her big sister position. That is because of the great parents that you and are Jon are. SO EXCITED for you all!!

LOVE! I saw the idea of a "Mommy and Me" journal on Pinterest a few months ago, and have the idea pinned in my "kids" folder, but have yet to actually get a notebook and get us started. I'm hoping this will inspire me to get my hiney in gear. Especially now that Emily is getting older and may have some questions she's more comfortable writing down versus asking in person. Thanks for the motivation to follow through!
