Since I gave birth to Jack in 2009, I've been pretty delinquent about scrapbooking (as friends who are moms themselves warned me might happen). I've spent some substantial time on it during days and weekends with friends but overall haven't been consistent enough to stay even remotely up to date. Jack's scrapbook, in desperate need of more attention, has him at just a couple months old. That's not to mention the "regular" family albums, stuck in time at Christmas 2007.
Since my goal is to make one baby book for each child (equal rights!), I decided to finish his scrapbook before our new little one arrives in early June (at which point I think I will be thankful just to shower and survive each day—and make sure my children do the same). In the process, I hope to also get at least a little bit caught up on my family albums.
I plan to do six page layouts a week to chronicle Jack's earliest days. For some of you, this might seem silly, but since I am an extraordinarily slow scrapbooker, this is a good (but not too lofty) goal for me.
So here's to finishing Jack's baby book and getting ready to open a cute new book for a brand-new little boy!

I feel your pain! I only scrapbook a birthday book for each kid (with two layouts each year--one of their party and one of their hand prints/yearly picture/birthday questions). I also have one small scrapbook that I do one lay out each year of our family Christmas card picture and a few written highlights from the year. You'd think that would be do-able, but I'm still behind. Oh well, someday we'll wish we had little ones running around filling up our time!!
