Summary: A True Treasure
Review: I bought this book only a week or so after I found out I was pregnant. I knew it was the right one as soon as I picked it up in the book store. It has lots of room for writing. There is a phrase on most pages to help your ideas flow. It can be used in chronological order. That is what I liked best. You can log every doctor apt, weight and all of your feelings and thoughts for the present and future. Plus it is purple, my favorite color!! I would reccomend this book to anyone that wants to give their child a true treasure when they are old enough to read and understand it.

Summary: A very thought provking journal
Review: No one creates a journal better than author, Linda Kranz, and she does not disappoint with her latest offering: Expecting You, My Pregnancy Journal. Filled with her signature "thought-starters" the writer will quickly record in the pages her thoughts, feelings and physical changes. Among my favorite "thought-starters" are:

The first time I felt you move was __/__/__. You seem to be the most active during the morning, afternoon, evening or when I lie down for bed. Hiccups, somersaults and other movements you make.

Everyone has dreams. These are mine.

The way I broke the news to your father. His reaction.

Inventions or products you will have as you grow up that my generation did not have.

A few mothers that I admire.

THIS IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE: Here I will trace my hand. I can rest my hands on my stomach and feel you move. When you are a newborn, just home from the hospital, I will trace your hand inside of the tracing of my hand.

Photographer-husband, Klaus Kranz, shot the delightful photos that provides the visual appeal to this journal. My sons have grown and I will eventually be a grandma-ma. My gift to my future daughter-in-laws will be to fill out, "Expecting You, A Pregnancy Journal" so they can share in the birth history of their husbands, my sons.

Summary: great for true journal writers
Review: So many pregnancy journals out there have very little room to write. They are filled more with facts and medical information, and I already had all that in my pregnancy book the doctor gave me. I searched several bookstores and had almost resigned myself to buying a blank journal, when at last I found this one. It has so much room to write; I love it! And even though I didn't get the journal until 10 weeks into my pregnancy I can still easily fill in nearly all the pages (an added bonus since other journals sometimes are too rigid in their day-by-day notes). I highly recommend this for any parents-to-be. My only wish is that the book was spiral bound...easier to write in. But I may just cut the book apart and comb bind it myself.

Summary: great for true journal writers
Review: This is a nice journal, but what I was unhappy with is that it's just a journal, so if you are like me, and not a big writer, this isn't the one for you. I was expecting more of a fill-in type like a baby book, with some space for writing and pictures, but every page is just lined, with a heading, such as "your name". I can't fill a whole page with just stuff about a name! There are no specific spots for keeping up with weight gain, first movements, etc, you just have to write it essay style. She does give great sentence starters, though, to get your thoughts going. Also, there are no specific places for ultrasound or pregnant pictures. So, if you love to journal, this is the book for you, if not, keep looking!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not Just a Pregnancy Journal but a True Keepsake
Review: This is a really great journal not just for writing about your pregnancy but writing about your life for your baby. Although there are pages with thought starters about doctor visits, first telling your husband & family about the pregnancy, and many other special pregnancy events, there are pages for personal history. It includes a page about how you met your husband, how you would describe him, what world events are going on during your pregnancy, and many other pages that will becoming lasting memories. Your future child will read this journal years later and know about you and your history, not just daily pregnancy notes.
