The First 1000 Days

I just bought this journal, which I love. I've been looking at it over and over online and considering purchasing it for about a year, and I'm so glad I finally did. It has absolutely beautiful woodcut images of mothers and babies throughout the pages, and prompts to inspire writing about the first couple of years and experiences of your child's life. Although I know it's going to be challenging to look back, especially at the earliest months, and recall some things, I think it will be a great experience to re-live some of those moments again and capture them in writing for Freyja to read someday...

I already began the journaling process today, and put down many of the details of Freyja's birth.

It brought back some wonderful memories and overwhelming emotions...

Perhaps, as I go, I'll share some of those memories here. Or, maybe I'll just keep them for myself. We'll have to see...
