Our baby book had stuff like: How we met, all about each mom (education, birthplace, hobbies, work,etc), about how we felt when we found out we were pregnant, about what we thought you'd be like (the baby), about the year the baby was born - movies, celebrities, news, the cost of different things like milk or a stamp... We also had pages going forward for each month with a place for a picture and what the baby learned that month and events that month. there was something on the house we live in and then one on the birthing location, who came to see the baby. footprints and handprints page. we saved some stuff from the hospital like the card they put on the baby with all his stats.
I created a little album with pictures of the ultrasounds and me for each month of the pregnancy and as Kai has grown, i've added to it pictures of him every once in a while.
To me, the baby book and pre-babybook could be the same one, if you're making your own. Why pay for one if you could make your own with exactly what you want to talk about?
