Within these pages the mother-to-be can record her thoughts, hopes and dreams about the new life growing inside her.

Here the expectant mother can explore her deepest feelings, her brightest hopes and her private fears. She can jot down everything from her emotional reactions to motherhood and her evolving relationship with her partner and others close to her to important medical reminders and potential names for the baby.

And someday this diary -- her personal companion for so many months -- may be read and shared with her grown child -- a loving remembrance of the beginning of a very special life.
