Baby On Board-Mini Album

I had been planning on making something super special for my co-worker who is expecting a baby.. She is going on maternity leave this Friday (day after tomorrow) and I was afraid I wouldnt get this done before then, but here it is.. All complete!!

She isn't due till November, but she manages the Produce department and those boxes are big and heavy, and so its best she didnt' strain herself and just stay at home and enjoy the rest of her pregnancy..

I have added lots of cute little things in here to keep a journal of her progress and so with that, here is the mini album I created for her:

It is a maternity shirt (cut from Everyday paperdolls cartridge) mini album.. it measures about 6x6!!

When you flip the first page, this is for her to write down when she found out she was expecting and then when she actually gives birth, I also added a photo mat for her to put a picture of her while is is pregnant..
I actually used my Cricut Imagine to create the clock.. white cardstock and colored in the clock with the color choices.. super fun and easy!!!

We all gain weight and evetually our feet disappear right?..LOL  I created this cute little cut with my cricut!! the clothes are from the Everyday Paperdolls cart and then tummy and belly button I created using George and Basic Shapes.. I also added two little journaling and photo tags that pull out from behind the dye cut..

Cravings anyone?  foods that make you ill?.. been there, done that...LOL  I thought it would be fun for her to write down all of the foods she really craved and then also all the foods that she didn't want to eat.. I have pull out tags and pockets on both pages..

I know she will be going in for her first Ultrasound next week and I can't wait for her to be able to put all of the information on this page.. I added a big photo mat for the ultrasound photo and then a pocket with tags for all of the journaling.. hopefully she will write down her ultrasound experience!!

I remember when I was pregnance that it felt like the baby was doing a boogy inside.. my boys were both over 8lbs, so I was running out of room..LOL  Amber was a preemie, but even her stretches took my breath away..

I thought she could add photos of her in here when the baby first starts moving and then if they get lucky enough to get a pic of a kick or something.. lets keep our fingers crossed.. I also added some pull out tags for journaling and photos..
