baby journal

i got this sweet idea from my friend camille, who is a genious.
she did it throughout her pregnancy with her adorable little baby.
she's an incredible photographer, so i know mine wont turn out as cute as hers,
but i appreciate her lending me this idea of a weekly baby journal.
it was too cute and sweet to pass up.
{and i know the rest of my kids will get the shaft, but hey.. there is got to be perks for being firstborn}

i was actually 15 weeks last thursday, im just a little behind.
but hopefully i will be good at keeping this journal up-to-date every week.
i didn't know if really wanted to do this,
because if you know me, i HATE taking pictures.
and i know i will hate them even more now that i'm pregnant.
So this baby journal will consist of all the good, and all the bad. and every awkward stage inbetween.
but i think it will be really fun for our little peanut to look back on.

and might i say that i have the sweetest and best husband on the planet.
he has been doing an incredible job taking care of me (well, us) for the last 15 weeks.
i rarely lift a hand on anything,
he is so involved with our little peanuts development every week,
and loves to talk about things we need,
he loves to get up close to my tummy and play music and say sweet things to our baby,
and the list goes on and on.

but when i asked if he would do this for me,
he was really hesitant because it was so personal for him.
and after much convincing, i woke up this morning to this note, from him to our sweet little baby, sitting on our computer. i just bawled.

i think that me and this baby might be two of the luckiest people in the world to have him.
