I just had this idea that’s pretty darn cool, but I’ll need to purchase some software before I can do it.<\/p>\n
Right now I have my whole TTC journey log on this blog… plus I do tend to keep things like my retrieval and transfer bracelets and my U\/S pics. I have a small pregnancy “organizer” which is okay (but I discovered that a lot of the beginning stuff doesn’t work right for an IF pregnancy). But I really get annoyed at how they lay stuff out in pregnancy books, how some parts don’t apply, how there’s not enough space to write things in, etc.<\/p>\n
Well I just am completing this print job for a non-profit I volunteer with sometimes. I designed and put together a recipe book, and it’s going to get sent off to the printers today or tomorrow. And the thought occurs to me, why don’t I do that for a pregnancy journal\/book? I can design it all on my computer, page by page, week by week. All digital, so I can move things around and edit them and add photos later if I need to. And then, when I’m all done, I can have it professionally printed and bound! I guess that’s what people say when they talk about digital scrapbooking, huh? I guess it’s time I really start looking into that!<\/p>\n
So far I have a lot of real scrapbooking supplies, but all my photos are digital and I don’t get around to printing them, and well, I’m so backlogged that it’s getting stressful. lol I’ll still do some “real” scrapbooking, I’m sure, since it can be fun, but I think at least in terms of a pregnancy journal it might be really really cool to have it done digitally and then printed. I can even make spaces in it for the physical objects I want to include in it. :D<\/p>\n

Does anyone know what kind of place might be able to repair camcorders? Den had a really nice on years ago – it was digital, and exported right to his computer. It’s small and compact. And then his dad borrowed it… and broke it. (To say he was not happy is a large understatement… especially since his dad insisted it was broken before he borrowed it. Yeah. Whatever.) One of the things we really need before a baby arrives is a camcorder! So it’s either shell out several hundred dollars for a new one, or repair the one we have now.<\/p>\n
I also realized something about my supposed christmas gift. See, last christmas Den gave me the choice for a big gift – I could either get myself a wedding\/engagement ring (I never got one, all I got for the wedding was a plain band, with the intention of getting a pretty one later) or a DSLR camera. I, umm, chose the camera. :D I LOVE that camera. (And it’s another thing we needed to get before a baby came.)<\/p>\n
But, well, you know how my pants aren’t fitting too well right now? Same for my wedding band. I actually had to take it off last week, because that poor finger was hurting. I haven’t put it back on. :( I probably could now, but… the ring is tiny (size 4, I think), and my fingers are no longer so tiny. And I don’t know if I really want to pay money to get a $40 ring resized, especially when I’m pregnant and just going to get fatter fingers anyways! (I do feel bad that I’m not wearing a wedding ring, but…)<\/p>\n
So anyways, all of that just makes me realize that buying a new fancy ring NOW is NOT a good idea. I won’t be able to wear it anyways! I’ll probably just put that money towards something for baby, anyways. It’s a habit of mine… I hate buying big things for myself, but I’ll spend a small fortune on the dogs. (I have banned myself from Petco.) I can only imagine how bad it’s going to get with a baby!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
