2.0 out of 5 stars Great on the outside, flimsy on the inside, September 27, 2010

When I saw the cover design of this book I was excited to order it because I was part of an expecting club called to August Sweet Peas. I received it and was very pleased with the outside appearance. I excitedly gathered a bunch of the items and photos I wanted to put in it and brought it with me to a friend's house to begin working on it. What a let-down! When I opened it up and tried to turn the very first page, it ripped around the binder rings. The stock felt much thinner than I has expected. I could see I would have to put reinforcements on every single page around the binder rings to get it not to completely fall apart during construction.

For an item meant to be a keepsake, the pages are far too flimsy to hold up for even the baby's first year, let alone to share with others and save for years to come.

I LOVE this Memory Book! I purchased it after seeing the bound version in our local baby store. I LOVE that it's a Loose-leaf binder style so I can add sheet protectors to anything valuable and insert extra ultrasound pictures, keepsakes, etc. Much easier for someone like me who's not a big scrap booker to keep everything together in one place. I love that it covers all the major events but is not so extensive you have to write in it everyday. If you like to keep a lot of records, there are extra pages and pockets so it's perfect for all types! The downside: the pages are thin and shiny (like the page of a magazine) so if you write hard with a pen you will see the imprint on the other side, however it did not bleed through. I would just recommend using a regular pen and not a marker.

It must be hard to come up with a book that will cover the experience of the majority of pregnant women. This book only has one page for a baby shower, whereas between my church, family, coworkers, and husband's coworkers, I had about five. What I like about the loose-leaf book is that I could pull blank pages from the back and insert them where I needed them. I even scanned the baby shower pages and printed them onto the blank pages on a color printer. The color was a little off since the blank pages are already a light golden color, but not bad at all.
There are sections that I wish were longer (the part describing labor, for instances, does not give enough space), and other parts that seem too long for me, but again, it's hard to find the perfect book for every pregnancy and baby. It's very cute and sturdy and I highly recommend it.
