Why From Pea to Pumpkin Was Born
This is what I remember from ten years ago, when I was pregnant with my daughter: I craved fruit and was ill every day from week six to week ten. With my son, seven years ago, I remember that I was never ill, but instead simply bone tired, my patience short and my stomach enormous.
I know that with each of them, I was scared and elated, both.
I wish I remembered more.
That is why I created this little book. For you: so that you will have something to help you record all the little moments—and big moments—over these next nine (ten?) months. So you will have the chance to write down what you want for your child before you meet him or her, before their wonderful inclinations shape your expectations and modify your dreams with reality. This book exists so that one day, when you have a few precious spare moments, you can look back at your hopes and plans for your child before they were tethered to an actual person, when it was all only possibility.

I'm updating this review after using this book for 26 weeks:
This journal does a good job of prompting you to write about things you might not have thought to discuss. Somewhat of a "fill in the blank" process, the journal has incomplete sentences that you fill in. There have been several, such as, "Baby, what I really want you to know about me is _______________" that I probably wouldn't have ever thought to include in my baby journal, and was glad to write about. Some other examples of this are:
"My parents are acting ______ and it makes me feel ______"
"The baby can hear now. What he/she probably hears most is _____."
"Baby, someone gave me this advice about you and I don't want to forget it: ______".
However, there are only 9 pages for photos, and next to no room to record what's happening each week during my pregnancy, as the entire page each week is taken up by these fill-in-the-blank questions. Some of the prompts don't pertain to me (such as ones that talked a lot about morning sickness, which wasn't a major part of my pregnancy), and others made me VERY uncomfortable, such as these examples:
"My boobs are (check what applies):
_ A teenage boy's dream
_ A bit in the way
_ Totally painful and huge
_ Lovely. Really lovely.
_ Other: ___________"
Another that made both me and my husband squirm and wonder what the author was thinking:
"Intimacy is ___________ and involves _______________________ (goes on for three lines).
