From Pea to Pumpkin - A Pregnancy Journal

When I first became pregnant, I was obsessed with tracking everything. I had found a website online that I could journal in, add pictures etc.  It was a great way for me to keep track of the little things that go along with pregnancy.

After Mr. J was born, I stopped visiting the website and I eventually forgot the name of it - and therefore have none of that information.

I recently was approached to review From Pea to Pumpkin - A Pregnancy Journal (Geralyn Broder Murray) and I am so glad that I did.  I wish that I had this when I was pregnant with both of my boys.

The book is broken down into Trimesters, and then it has a weekly page.  It gives a checklist for symptoms and then it has a few leading questions that you can answer, and blank lines to write down whatever info you want.

There are spaces for pictures (ultrasound and belly pics) and it gives you a guide for how big your baby is, in comparison to different foods.

  1. Journalling is sooooo important when pregnant. My memory is horrible, I'm so glad I have 'their' journals to look back at! :)

  2. Awesome! I remember writing in a journal throughout both my pregnancies. I love that this is broken down into trimesters as well as having weekly pages you can update. I wish I would have seen this a few months ago, I know two ladies who would have loved this, but are due any minute now, lol.
