Did you read every book, blog and post you could to learn about what to expect, what to do and answers to other questions? I DID! I am a research-aholic if there is such a term- and used my love for reading to educate myself and my husband about pregnancy and the miracle of life with baby #1... amazing facts, myths and things I just wish I didn't know- filled my head! With this information and our excitement over being pregnant- my husband and I started journaling our thoughts, feelings and questions with hopes to someday put it all together as our experience and present it to our children for a keepsake. Letters to Sophie then started and we have continued writing our thoughts and feelings to her within her scrapbook and baby book.
In 2010 we became pregnant with baby #2 and research-aholic fever began again, except this time I wanted to read and learn about how to run a "greener" home with children, how to survive on less and make the most of my children's lives.... baby #2 didn't get the journal that Sophie did, and I soon realized I needed to create balance for both children and started his belly book and scrapbook to mirror hers... Letters to Caleb is all on the Internet now- no pen and paper- just blogs and FB postings....
Here is the merge of the two with "Letters to Sophie and Caleb"
(updated randomly due to having to back track to post all)
