Fun to use

I got this organizer since I lived out of country and wanted some record of my babies progress. I didn`t use the whole book but still didn`t find it a waste of money. I used the "Practitioner`s Visit Record" and the "Getting Ready to Baby" Sections the most. I personally didn`t use the Pregnancy Journal part but I am sure other mothers may have enjoyed it. Surprisingly I use parts that I never thought I would, like the Comparison Shopping section. But once we went out shopping for big ticket baby supplies (cribs, car seat,ect.), I realized how wonderful it was. My husband and I could sit down and discuss what we found and once we decided which item to pick at which store, we could double check the price online to make sure we were getting the best deal. This has saved us alot of money. I liked having a place to put baby names and baby shower gifts. And as a first time mom, having the section on what the baby would need was great to have to make sure we had everything before the baby came. Who has time once the little bundle of joy comes to do all the shopping? Pockets would have been nice, but they are not necessary. This organizer is not a must have, but is handy to have for first time parents who are afraid that they might forget something or want to record those moments that they might later forget. This also make filling in those expensive baby books easier, since all the information is in your organizer.

my review

This organizer is very useful, but it also has a few things that can be improved upon. I don't like the fact that it doesn't have a place to put pieces of paper in. During my doctor visits I get paper that explains what is going on with me and what to expect between visits. It would be helpful if I was able be able to put those pieces of paper in there. I also don't like how the fetal movement chart is set up and there is no chart to keep track of your weight gain. Luckily my doctor gave me a book that shows both of these clearly. I also think this planner should be larger and tabbed. I bought flags to put in the planner to make everything easier for me to get to.

very pleased

I purchased this book as a gift for a close friend. The book arrived to her fairly quickly. I ordered the book on the 3rd using standard delivery and she received the book on the 8th. She states that the book was in great condition.
