I have just completed the intro page and the ultrasound page for my baby scrapbook.

I would like to start doing the pregnancy belly page. I mean, I have taken a picture of my belly at 24 weeks, 32 weeks and there will possibly be one or two more later in the pregnancy. I also intend on putting the following poem from baby to us on there as well.

Dear Mummy & Daddy

Although you cannot see me I’m growing by leaps and bounds
I can’t wait to make my appearance and all my social rounds

Mommy’s doing good, did you know I can scene her smile?
I can’t wait to lie in her arms and gaze at her for a while.

I’m so excited to see my daddy; he talks to me each night
With his head on mommy’s belly it surly is a sweet sight.

My heart is beating strongly and it seems I have fingers too
I understand these will come in handy for finger paint and glue.

Mommy, I know you cannot hold me or give me a kiss good night
But you feel me move inside you and should know that I’m all right.

So until my big arrival you have very much to do…
Paint my room, get clothes, and toys and plenty of those diaper things
too

I’m just going to finish growing so I will make you proud
Till then I'm your little angel just hanging out on heavens cloud


My problem is I am not sure if I should do a double page layout like I have for my ultrasound page. Secondly I am stuck for ideas of how I can lay this page out, whether it be one page or two.

Oh, I am thinking of calling this page "Can't Wait to Hold You in my Arms".

I would love to hear any ideas/suggestions you have!

i'm new to this but not to scrapbooking and i'd sugest a double page for this if you know sex uses the appropriate shades for this and then embelish with pewter(silverish) embelishments they come in a large range of sizes and charactoristics eg: nappy pins,booties, ducks, blocks all types of baby things making memories is a brand off the top of my head that does these and your poem sounds loverly but i found with my page i ended up using a short yet sweet and special verse it was only 6 smallish lines as a larger verse took all the attention away from the ultrasound picture i used
TIP when you get to the photos of your newborn i found seipia photos worked best as it toned down the colours of post birth and you look good as well trust me
p.s hope i was some help and don't mind my spelling i'm a shocker

I was afraid it would run slow on G4s, I dont have a G4 to test with. Wish I did. The z-issues, right I see that now too, thanks.

Glad you liked the organic feel. Thats exactly what Im going for.
