Baby has not been born yet, but already you may be wondering about the color of her hair, how long it will take before she takes her first step and the first word she will speak. The answers to most of your questions may one day be artfully displayed with photographs in the shape of bottles, a footprint and a lock of hair in your baby's first year scrapbook album.

When you are new to the scrapbook hobby, it helps to find inspiration by getting together with other people who are at the same point in their lives and share the same goals.

Whether you start your own scrapbook club while pregnant or join an existing club, being with other expectant mothers can relieve some of the anxiety that goes along with pregnancy.

Patsy Smith, a labor and delivery nurse for 20 years, hosts a scrapbook club in her home in Oklahoma City once a month. Smith says her scrapbook club is not about organizing a collection of dusty notes, pictures, clippings and certificates – it's about preserving precious memories. "It's very important to start a scrapbook from the minute you are pregnant because all of those thoughts you forget," Smith says. "They grow up so fast you don't remember. It's best to put not only the pictures in the scrapbook, but you need to put your thoughts and feelings because later on when you are gone all they are going to have are the memories of you."
