Documenting Shizzle...

   Since discovering we were going to be parents, I've been thinking of ways to document things, just to keep a record. I think about in the future when our son/daughter shows an interest in their past. If I want to see times gone by, me mam and dad have a shed load of photo albums in the loft/under their bed. But I haven't actually physically seen a photo in ages. Nowadays photos are straight on Facebook, and that's about it. So I'm gonna try cover all angles. I am writing this blog. I am taking daily photos of the bump, and I am writing a little book.

 

  The book is basically a mini diary, which I am going to write entries for when I can be arsed, not every day. It includes the fact we were unsure about things and is a genuinely honest little project. No bullshitting my future child...
  For me this works as a nice little outlet for all my baby thoughts while documenting the story for our child. Kinda fun. Plus it includes Sky Sports type stats and facts on his/her parents, along with cartoons to go alongside the diary entries. This was also the first time in my life I have ever written 'from Dad', and I ain't gonna lie I got a little emotional at this. Hope that in eighteen years or so my kid treasures it...
