With baby number 2 on the way, I have been searching for the perfect baby book...and I got to thinking...did I ever 'finish' my first son's baby book??
No.
So where does this leave me? One son's book not done, not by a long shot. And now I want to get another one for my second son that likely won't be finished either? This MUST be the definition of insanity! Attempting to do the same thing for child number 2 that did not get done for child number 1!
But how can I not at least TRY to do the same for my second son?? Will he not end up in therapy wracked with self esteem issues because I did not attempt a baby book for him?
I hope not or I am in trouble for far worse offenses.
The other thought that crossed my mind in relation to the baby book issue is this...are there really moms out there who can say they put down the day that each individual tooth came in?! I could barely get a picture of any tooth let alone be aware of when each individual one came in. Actually, the only time I knew a new tooth came in was when he would bite/nip me during breastfeeding. I doubt he wants a picture of the bite marks he left on my nipple in his baby book :)
The details they allow for in these books is just crazy to me. I was so deprived of sleep and sanity during maternity leave and then rushed back to work after that I just had no time to do the book. Any mama who can complete that book cover to cover truely deserves a reward!
