So, our daughter is due in about three short weeks and we're all excited to document every little detail of her birth and all the great stuff that comes next. I have noticed that there aren't many GLBTQ/alternative family baby books out there. I found one, but it's design isn't our style. So, does anyone have any suggestions or resources for us?
Second, I think that if we can't find something appropriate, I will go ahead and buy a blank album and create our own book. I have ordered some "traditional" books ('used' and cheap to get ideas) but I wanted to ask other parents for suggestions.
What kind of pages would you have included in your baby book if you were designing it? If I end up making it, I'll have our family trees, a donor info page, a page about her extended and friendship family, and of course, a page about our pets! I want to do a few pages about some of the choices we made- about choosing a donor, choosing our midwife, and about her name etc. Anything you've thought of? We're also talking, not sure if it's realistic or not, about turning this project into an at-home business. Who knows how we'll feel AFTER the baby is here
, but I see a need for nice, affordable books that work for our, and other non-traditional, families.
I appreciate any suggestions and I sure hope this is an OK thing to post!
