Pregnancy seems to last forever when you’re waiting for the birth of your baby from conception to nursery prep! Even in the early days when they seemingly won’t stop crying, and you never sleep, the hours just drag on. Everyone who has had children will tell you the complete opposite, and you won’t believe it until it’s happening to you. Your first year as a mother will go so fast, that you’ll blink and miss it.
One moment, you look at your tiny baby who initially doesn’t quite fit their own skin. Clothes swamp them and every noise and facial expression is marvelled at. The next moment, you’re online and planning a first birthday party and picking out the best one-year-old first birthday shirt! It goes so fast, but if you’ve bought yourself a baby book like this one or this one before the baby arrives, you are able to record each of those milestones that matter so much. You can then look back on them with a smile and with nostalgia, and some of the best milestones draw a tear of happiness at the growth of the baby and sadness at the thought they’re passing by so quickly.
