Harrison’s baby book.
(it’s by Edna Mae Originals)
In all honesty, Harrison probably won’t care too much about this labor of love until he’s a father. At the very best – I mean, I’m fully prepared for him to never care & it never be looked at until his wife wants to know how big he was at 6 months old. But for me, it’s a way to keep up with him. I have this blog, of course. But his baby book is more about his stats & what we did for his first Christmas & my most treasured pictures – not how momma went batshitcrazy & talked about her love of coffee & cupcakes.
Obviously, I’m a little behind. I think everyone but Martha Stewart gets behind on a baby book or scrapbook & sometimes I even think ol’ Martha herself has looked at a stack of photos & gone, “OH SHIT, I can’t remember the order that these were taken in.” & then she’s just throwing caution to the wind & guessing until someone points out that a 7-month photo is mixed in with the 4-month pictures. Oops.
Sometimes, after I’ve rocked Harrison to sleep, I’ll sneak downstairs & pull his baby book from the bookshelves. & I’ll sit with my cup of tea & flip through it, trying to remember what those first few days felt like. Remembering how perfectly tiny he was & all the little details, like what percentage of weight he was in at nine months. The details that everyone but a mother forgets.
my hope in creating my line of baby books is that it would be more than just a place to record memories…but a space to inspire us to soak up those everyday moments that pass us by so quickly (and to take note of the joys and pains of being parents)…to notice & delight in those things that might otherwise have passed us by….let’s say “no” to guilt for feeling the need to record every milestone and every tooth. and let’s say yes to recording what matters to us. it doesn’t have to be perfect. it doesn’t have to be a novel. just make it real and make it true. ~Kobie, edna mae designer
I’m not going to go into the basics of why his specific baby book is so spectacular. I already did that.
I know. It’s gorgeous.

required stuff: I bought my Edna Mae book on my own & have in no way been compensated for my review or the giveaway. I did my first review without Kobie even knowing, then we chatted a bit & she graciously offered to give a book away. This is a blog giveaway at it’s finest & purest. & I’m just thankful one of you will get the chance to own something that I adore.
I followed or liked Modern Baby Books on FB. Also one of my most favorite memories was when the Midwife placed Ryann on my chest mere seconds after birth and Ryann reached up and put her hand on my chest and just stared at me. It was a look of “what the hell just happened” and “hey, I know you mommy”

I liked Edna Mae on facebook but I really don’t just like her, I LOVE her. I got my daughter’s book from there and there is no doubt that I will be ordering my son’s from there too (I’m due in February!)…that is unless I win one!
I liked Edna Mae on fb and I love your blog Blair!
Followed! And I don’t remember when it was, but the first time Abby snuggled into my chest was probably the greatest moment ever.
Following! Beautiful book. I wish I had kept up better with L’s.
I tried to order one using the discount code and it wouldn’t work?
Love these baby books.
I liked Edna Mae on FB! I have been lusting after one of these since my Addie was a wee wee babe. I currently have a terribly tacky baby book that was given to me at one of my showers and I hate it and I haven’t bought a new one because no others compare to EM but I also haven’t been able to bring myself to fork over the $65 yet! Eeek.
I have a very clear memory of the first time I was finally alone with Addie in the hospital after she was born–when I was finally able to unwrap her and see how perfect she was and think to myself “I can’t believe we did this”. It was an amazing moment (and then she started wailing and the pain meds wore off and it was over! haha. but still an amazing moment!!)
I just hit follow on facebook! I actually have one of these books for my son and absolutely love it – I’ve been trying to fill in the blanks though as we are creeping up on his first birthday and there is a lot missing!

Following! I actually had gone back in your prior posts trying to find your vendor- I’m so glad you are able to do this giveaway!
At 30 weeks, my favorite moment is cuddling up with the hubs and the little lady at night. He is so warm that she always kicks and flips under his hand, and these sweet moments will forever be imprinted on me.

So many memories it is almost impossible to choose from. Most recently I love sweet kisses from Lillie.

My favorite memory of motherhood was the first time we had a “perfect breastfeeding session.” There was no pain, I felt great and seeing her eat and then just fall asleep right there on the boppy made me finally realize “I can do this.”
I followed/ lifed Modern Baby Books on Facebook.
My most treasured moment is when I woke up to my LO saying Momma, and him wanting me
I’m a follower of Modern Baby Books on Facebook. I think my favorite memory of my little girl was the first time she smiled. Those little gummy smiles are the best!
I so lust over one of these books. Followed on facebook.
My favorite memory? I was rocking Sully at about 3:00AM a week after my aunt passed away and Taylor deployed. It was a low point for me. But Sully looked at me with those sweet, little newborn eyes, snuggled into me, and I realized…this is what’s important. He still needs me no matter what. I think it was the beginning of us actually bonding.
I’m a follower of Modern Baby Books on Facebook and my favorite memory of my little girl was the day I got to hold her completely naked against my chest.
These books are beautiful and I would love to win one! I definitely liked them on FB.
I’m still fairly new at this whole mom thing, but the best thing so far is our late night feedings, when she looks up at me and smiles. It gets me every time!
LOVE it. I’m a follower and will go back and fill in Cameron’s first year from my journal with something this beautiful.

I love everything about being a mom. Now is the best yet, she is so vocal and loves giving mommy hugs and kisses.
I liked Modern Baby Books on Facebook. I have loved these since you did your first review on them. How I wish I had purchased one for my Sammy.
My favorite baby memory is when the doctor handed him to me in the hospital. All swaddled, and clean. I remember thinking, oh yeah, I have a baby now. And I knew that sweet face belonged to me!
I’m a follower now on facebook…. I searched high and low for a baby book that I would love for baby Ashton and never found one! These look amazing.. I have a baby book for my oldest child and love it.. but could never find one that would compare!
My favorite memory was when I brought the new baby home, and my 5 year old looked at him and said ‘I’m so glad I get to where my big brother shirt forever’.. ‘and he’s all ours!’
I love your blog.. keep it up!

I liked it! I am not a mother yet but I would LOVE to give this to my sister at her baby shower!
I already follow her on facebook and absolutely LOVE her baby books. I bought mine after I read your review of yours and have been in love with it ever since….in fact I just ordered more to put in it!
I don’t have a baby book for my daughter and I need to get w/ it. I love these!!!!!
Following Modern Baby Books on facebook! Wow, she does beautiful work. What a great idea!
I bought my son’s baby book from Edna Mae last year (he’ll be one in a week). I absolutely love it! It’s so hard to find cute boy things so when I saw this I had to buy it. It’s perfect and is character free
Oh I liked her on facebook! I think I need one of these for sure!!
I liked it on facebook! I saw this site after I’d already started my daughter’s baby book but I’d love it for #2 (eventually).

Ok, I’m not on Facebook (You’ve seen the movie “Catfish” right???) but I L-O-V-E these so I am throwing my hat in the ring anyway. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.
I like Edna Mae on facebook… and have actually longed to own one… (we started a baby book, but i’m very much behind on it… as my son just turned 1)!!!!
favorite memory… the first time i was “allowed” to nurse my son, after he was released from the nicu… holding him in the little side room – no nurses, no monitors… just me, him, and his father… it finally felt like he was ours.
I like it on facebook! I LOVE those books and hope i can get one for baby #2 in March!
My most treasured moment as a mom so far has been on Dawson’s first birthday party… eating that cupcake gave him the worst tummy ache of a lifetime and i was up all night rocking him and trying to make him feel better… after hours of rocking and he was starting to feel better, he said “mommy” for the first time and then passed out in my arms… I truly felt like a mom.

My most treasured memory with my little boy is a toss up between the moment they lay him on my chest after he was born and he just looked into my eyes like “mom, what the heck just happened” and screaming like he wanted back in! Also, the day that he started walking. We were playing on the floor and he just pulled up on me to stand and then just took off. It was such a special, amazing moment!

I’ve had my eye on these baby books ever since I read about Harrison’s on your blog. Now that I’m pregnant with a little girl, I am ready to purchase myself. Would love to win one though! I’ve liked them on FB and whether I win or not, Mady will have an Edna Mae baby book. =)

One of my favorite memories of my beautiful boy was when we were in the hospital. It was the middle of a very sleep-deprived post-partum night and the nurse wheeled him into my room for his midnight feeding. He was wailing and crying loud enough to rattle the windowpanes, but I spoke to him and as soon as he heard my voice, he became quiet and calm. He knew my voice and he knew he was coming to my arms and it was one of the very best feelings I’ve experienced as a mother.

My favorite memory, gosh I have a few but I loved how he would sleep on my shoulder after nursing tucked right into my neck smelling so good and being so peaceful. Ahhh must.stop. I have some terrible baby fever these days.
I liked modern baby books on facebook.
My favorite (and painful) memory of motherhood is when my daughter went back to the hospital and stayed in NICU for 10 days when she was 14 days old due to a bacteria and weight loss.
I had been struggling with BF, sleep deprived and I’m sure I was starting with PPD. An then we had to leave her there. I cried at home, I felt the worst parent for not taking care of her and reacting earlier. I took her tiny clothes and slept with them, the smell in them made me feel closer.
And then I found myself discovering that I was a mom, where I would have traded anything for not having my little girl in the hospital. And discovered L.O.V.E. in a way I haven’t experienced before.
My life changed, I’m thankful for that moment, because I’m treasuring every single moment we have together.
OMG sorry for this long post..

I “liked” Modern Baby Books on Facebook. My favorite pregnancy moment was definitely when my bff took some DIY maternity photos of me, and then I saw how beautiful pregnancy was. Some recent favorite moments of motherhood are snuggling with my toddler when he wakes up and he jibber- jabbers to me in a whisper, and also when he grabs a book and sits in my lap
I follow! and my favorite memory is when we brought our daughter home after 66 days in the NICU after being born at 27 weeks weighing 1lb 15 oz!

I love your baby book and now I like Modern Baby Books on FB.
The day my daughter was born was a hectic one. Yes, we had the usual buzz and excitement that surrounds the birth of a baby. But some complications followed (for me, thank God, not her) that really caused a frenzy. I think nurses and family held her more than I did the first 14 hrs of her life.
But finally, everyone was gone. I was okay and was actually left alone with my baby for several hours during the night while my husband crashed on a more-comfortable couch in the lobby.
I was admiring her as she slept on my chest, crying on and off about how beautiful she was and how happy I was she was there and okay and perfect. And then she picked that little less-than-1-day-old head of hers up, turned, locked eyes with me for several seconds, put her head back down, and fell back asleep. It was the highlight of my day – much better than having her slippery body plopped on my chest.
My husband jokes that she thought to herself, “Oh, THAT’S what you look like? Huh, I pictured something different based on your voice.”
Anyway, pick me Random.org – or else!
I followed/liked them on FB! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE one of these! I had “discovered” them after I had already bought and started my daughters baby book and I seriously considered still buying one. I would LOVE to have this for the next babe! And perhaps if I did I wouldn’t get “2nd child syndrome” and only complete the 1st page

I have a new treasured moment every day. One happened just this morning. I was laying in bed with my newborn snuggled right up tight when my three year old climbed into bed and snuggled right up tight on the other side. I could stay that way forever.
Hi Blair
long time reader first time posting, but I really want that book. Liked it on fb ::keeps fingers crossed::

One of my favorite memories of motherhood was when my daughter learned to give kisses. Something about her climbing on your lap and voluntarily showing love just melts my heart!
Wow, what an awesome giveaway! Thank you for letting me know about this site, My wife and I have been looking for a baby book that we can buy that doesn’t say Mommy and Daddy, as we need Mommy and Momma, so this is perfect, we can customize. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

To answer your question: My most treasured memory of pregnancy was finding out that I was pregnant and possibly baby kicks.

I liked her on FB! And I swear this is fate cause I was JUST going through your archives last night and saw the old post about the baby book and went over to etsy and had hearts for her stuff and now today this is your post! Must be fate, right?
Um, I’m still prego, so I don’t have a motherhood moment yet. So far my fave prego moment was probably finding out the baby is a boy and then feeling my husband reach out to hold/squeeze my hand.
Oh wow. Wow wow wow. How beautiful. I really really must have! So I liked her on FB.
Thanks for the chance to win!

My favorite memory with my little boy is us sitting is the glider at night with him and singing to him and praying with him.
Following. My most treasured memory so far is the nights she lets me rock her to sleep. Most nights she goes to sleep on her own, which is nice. Although, the nights where she snuggles up on my chest like she used to as a newborn are just pure bliss.

With my first… I did not get to see her for 11 hours after she was cut from my body and I was so afraid that she would not know me that I literally could not stop crying. But when they finally brought her to me I interrupted the nurse who was asking if we knew how to change diapers (DUH) and I held her. I looked at the little face I had not really seen yet and I said “hi baby” She had been fussing but when she heard my voice she sighed and went to sleep, Just like that.
And with my second. I was so miserable being pregnant when I realized I was in labor. So I called my hubby at work to tell him when he got home that we had to go to the hospital so we could have our little boy. I walked into the OR and it was an amazing experience. I got to hold him right away. They put him on my chest while they were sowing me up and I got to talk to him. Just me and the little guy. I will never forget.

There have been so many memorable moments with Wesley. It’s hard to pick just one. But if I had to, I think I’d pick what happened just a few nights ago. We’ve been working with him for some time now on trying to learn how to give kisses when asked for one, and it’s been hit or miss. Well, the other night, I fed him his last bottle, rocked him, he played with my face and tried to climb up me, and I picked him up to put him to bed. Right before I laid him down, I asked him to “give mommy night-night kisses,” and to my surprise, HE DID! My heart melted right there. It was all I could do to lay him down to sleep instead of cuddling him close and rocking him for the rest of the night.

And how does one choose a favorite memory? My favorites are the everyday things…the giggles and snuggles and silly things she does. It’s impossible to pick a favorite because she’s my favorite
I’m following on FB. My fav memory has to be labor. Crazy I know. But I was terrified that it was going to be awful and it wasn’t. It was peaceful and there was no screaming or pain. It was perfect and so is he.

And my favorite memory is hearing Tim talk to our seconds old baby, trying to soothe him while I got stitched up.
Oh, and when I tickle the fat right where his thighs meet his little butt! He lets out a giggle that just makes me melt!

As I’m sure you know, it’s hard to choose just one favorite moment. One of my most treasured moments as a mama was when I was putting my 15 month old to bed and he reached up to hug me and said “hud, hud” and then opened his mouth for a big ol’ smooch.
I was laughing so hard that my husband had to come put him down for bed instead.
I liked Modern Baby Books on Facebook. I was *just* about to order 2 of these babies so I’m glad to see your post.
It’s impossible to choose a favorite memory. A pretty darn good one happened yesterday. My H had the day off so we did the pumpkin patch thing then took the kids to a local restaurant that has a playscape and all day happy hour specials. I sat in the sun sipping a margarita with my husband and watched my two crazy kiddos push around a toy car. Bliss!
Oh my goodness. I love this. Love. Love. Love. And must have it. The book I have for J is one of those crappy B&N books that has no… flair! I wanted one that I could sit and really WRITE in… this would be perfect.
I am now following MBB on facebook!
It is hard to pick a favorite but I love that when Leah sits in her highchair, she crosses her ankles… so girly and so cute!
OMG I just died. seriously. I commented on your FB post about Edna Mae this weekend about how classy and not at all cheesy these books are. Bought one for my son after I read your post about it a long time ago…love love love it. would drop the coin again in a minute! I would love to win another one (to extend his or save for the next one!)
my favorite memory is wrapping him up in his swaddle blanket everynight. he was soooo teeny and he was a winter baby so he loved to wrapped up all tight, like a warm loaf of bread fresh out of the oven. Now he’s a big hot mess that squirms and wants to be put down. where is my snuggly baby

I have followed your blog for a while now, but this is my first comment. I just could not resist this giveaway!!!
One of my fondest memories was actually this past weekend. My daughter ran a fever all weekend so we spent the whole time cuddled on the couch watching tv! It reminded me of all those times when she was just a wee little thing and we would cuddle for hours. The snuggle time is getting less and less now that she is a toddling one year old so I treasure the moments when we can cuddle up on the couch!
Crap. I forgot to tell you my most treasured moment (so far). To this day it is still the first time they wheeled J into the room for me to nurse him in the middle of the night. (No bunking in in Macon). He was all swaddled up and only his eyes were visible in the half-light of the room. They were so big and blue and they just latched onto my face like I was the only thing in the world he wanted to see at that moment.
Remembering that moment still has the power to make me sublimely happy.

My favorite moment is when we finally ditched the nipple shield after 2 1/2 months and nursed for the 1st time “as nature intended”. It was such an awesome “we finally did it!” moment; triumph and joy and connection all rolled into one content nursing baby.
I like Modern Baby Books on FB. My most treasured memory of my pregnancy was the first time my husband saw our son kick. At that moment, it felt much more real to both of us.

So far my favorite moment(s) of motherhood are the little ones like when I’m feeding Jack and he looks up at me & smiles. Another fav is the cute little cooing noises he’s been making these last few weeks – he’s only 9 weeks old so i feel like i get to experience something new every day!!
Thank you Blair!!
I’m a follower! I still think about the night after my son was born. I couldn’t sleep because I was so charged up from the delivery. I just kept looking at the whiteboard in our hospital room with his name on it and thinking “I have a son. I can’t believe I have a son.” I’m tearing up just thinking about it. Gah.
I “liked” Modern Baby Books on Facebook! I would love to win a book as my baby is due in April! My favorite moment from my first son was seeing his smile for the first time.

Some of my favorite memories about motherhood so far are the times when I rocked my baby boy to sleep. I feel like that time has already passed us by since he has since chosen that he doesn’t want to be rocked to sleep every night. I miss snuggling in the rocking chair and just looking at this tiny being that my husband and I created while he was completely relaxed, completely safe and comfortable in my arms.
followed! i loved all the snuggles, which i appreciate so much more now that she is on the move. i also remember so clearly my trip to the nursery after my post-delivery shower…i feel like this was when it had REALLY sunk in that she was mine (even though it still felt sort of surreal…such weird feelings!)
