Expecting Tales is a really, really easy way to journal your pregnancy. Inside a lucite box, are a set of 4 X 6 index sized papers. Each card has a small area to write and a couple of check boxes including:

  • felt
  • craved
  • was given some advice
  • weighed

You simply add the date, check a box and jot down a note. The 4 X 6 size is also perfect for dropping a standard photo or two just inside the box or an ultrasound photo. This is easy enough to do and perfectly attractive enough to have hanging around the office or your home, so it's not tucked away in an easy to forget spot.

There are also four tabbed dividers, marking a 10 week segment of your pregnancy. The pale green and peach colors also make this appropriate for a girl or boy. I really like the neutrality of it all. It can be used no matter if you're seeing a midwife or a doctor, having your baby at home or in the hospital, breastfeeding or not. This is easy enough that it may be the perfect way to keep separate journals for multiple babies - a box of each baby! It's also handy if you have older children and just don't feel like you have the time to devote to journaling.

You can personalize the clear box. Expecting Tales makes for a great baby shower gift or a gift of the newborn version - Tiny Tales, also works as a great gift idea.
