Babies grow so fast. We want you to document all your baby’s milestones so you do not forget them years later into the future. What are your first thoughts as a mommy the first year? Do you miss your baby bump or are you just glad your baby is finally here?

There are so many thoughts and questions running through your head. You may have mixed feelings about being a first time mommy.

What will the process be like when we first bring you home?

Will I be a good mommy?

What will postpartum be like?

The first time I experienced morning sickness was like….

The first time it really sank in that I was going to be a mom…

What will I be overwhelmed with? Will my husband be able to help me?

Why is he crying? What does he want? I don’t know what to do.

Will I ever lose this baby weight?

Will he crawl or walk on time?

What will potty training be like?

Can you imagine what it would be like if your mother video-taped everything about what it means to be a new mommy and all the things she did with you as a baby. How helpful would this video series be, if your mother passed it on to you as you became a new mother with your first baby? How do you not get overwhelmed as a new mommy? Do not re-invent the wheel. I am sure you have friends or you mother on speed dial on your phone, so when you have a question you can call them.

Save time for your child in the future by making keepsake videos of your everyday thoughts, worries, stress, and tips of how you multi-tasked to pass on to your child when he or she is a parent in the future. You can pass on these videos in an artistic and unique Baby Time Capsule with other new mommy survival kit supplies, like a massage coupon, spa treatment lotions and soaps, and other creative items you can think to include. You can get your Baby Time Capsule from http://www.timecapsule.com/product/milestone-collection-baby-time-capsule-keepsake-gift/.

New Mommy Journal Ideas

Track your first time mommy thoughts in a journal, along with a video. This is a great keepsake to pass on to your future child, when she or he has their own baby. For an example of what kinds of things to record, check out http://www.parents.com/baby/new-parent/motherhood/first-week-home-with-baby/ to get you started.

You have to do what feels right for you. Not everyone has a mother still alive to pass on these important answers about how to raise a new baby. Find a mentor mother. Find a mommy meet-up group.  One important gift mom’s have is instinct – trust yours. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. There is no such thing as a “supermom.” We all have good and bad days, but the question is how are you learning from these days and how can you pass this knowledge on to your child in the future?

What are or were some of your first time mommy thoughts? Comment below.

She walked in the room with a present wrapped with baby feet stickers on it, personally decorated with her heart. This is for you mom. “But it is not my birthday,” she said.

She opened the box and an ultrasound picture was inside. She began to scream with excitement and pure joy. Inside, there was also a note saying, “Keep this in case dad forgets to bring it to your house.” It was a pacifier.

It can be some of the most exciting news for many people. “You are going to be a grandparent.” Announcing you are pregnant is big news and worth thinking about how you will tell those you love. It is a very meaningful, milestone moment in a parent’s life, especially if it is their first child.

I cannot tell you how I plan to announce to my husband we are pregnant, or he would find out, since he is a loyal fan who reads my blogs. Sorry honey. You will have to wait a while for the big reveal blog. We are working on that.

One of the Most Unique Ways to Tell Someone You are Pregnant

Not only is this a milestone moment in a mother and father’s life, it is a milestone moment when the baby is born. There is a very special way to announce you are pregnant using a decorative Baby Time Capsule. Wrap the outside of the Time Capsule so you cannot read it. Then fill it up with all kinds of small items you want to give the baby to keep forever, to open years later again by that child when they are an adult. Give the wrapped time capsule to your husband or the daddy to open.

Then, have him un-wrap the outside of the tin or time capsule to read what it is. How special is this gift, which keeps on giving years later, as you continue to save those milestone moment items for this baby in the time capsule. Relive this moment years later with a special time capsule opening party, to reminisce this day all over again.
