It starts with a letter that I wrote to Tru when I was pregnant with him, talking about the things that were going on in life when he was born, things that we did together while I was pregnant with him (like run an 8.5 mile race and jump of some big rocks into a pond in Kauai). It also says how we found out that he was coming into our family and how we couldn't wait for him to get here.
I looked into making the book with Shutterfly, but in the end I went with Blurb because it downloaded my blog straight to the book. I just deleted all the posts that weren't about Tru and it was a breeze!! I've already done all the writing on my blog, I just needed to organize it, so it was super easy. Here are a few pages that I've done so far...

Anyway, I'm really excited to get this done. I'm going to finish it off with his first birthday and get it printed and ready by Christmas. Isn't this what every one year old wants for Christmas?? Just kidding... his wife might like it someday!

So cute...where would I go to do this for my babies??
You are so clever!!
What do I have to do to get a copy of this fabulous book?
Mom
JaiCi, go to www.blurb.com. Download the program on your computer and then pick blog book and it will go through the steps to download your blog. And your blog would be perfect for this!!!
Mom- I can order one for you. I'll bring my comp. up when we come next time so that you can see it. Also, I need to use your scanner so that I can get Tru's ultrasound pictures in here.
adorable! way to go, I need to jump on the band wagon and give up this silly sCRAPbooking stuff!
I wish I would have been more sentimental with Paige's first year of life. Dang it. Your book looks adorable so far. Great job!!
Awesome job, Meg. I really need to do one of these for Sierra, too.
Good Job. I just need to finish Jane's too. I am glad it's working out for you.
This book is awesome! I may have to hit you up for some help when it comes time for me to make a book.
I love making books like this. I have made 5 books but I have never used my blog. That is a great idea.
that is such a good idea writing a letter to him while you are pregnant! I'm totally going to do that! thank you!
