Baby Daze helps keep you organized

Suddenly I find myself only 5 weeks away from my due date and I'm wondering if I will be as obsessive about certain things like I was with my first. I spent what seemed like months, for example, obsessing about her sleep habits (she was one of those 30 minute nappers until she consolidated to 1 nap at about 14 months, arghh!), reading every sleep book there was, and agonizing over why she still nursed every 2 hours even at 4-5 months. I'm not a scrapbooker, and I'm not even inclined to keep a Baby Book. The only reason we have one for the toddler is because I had received one as a shower gift (a pretty cheesy Pooh Bear one at that), and the empty pages beckoned me with guilt to fill them with milestones and pictures.

I'm not planning to keep a Baby Book for this little one (who the hell has time with work and 2 kids??), but I probably will log sleep and feeding habits like I did with my first so I can figure out a schedule. Sure, I don't need a fancy book to do this, but since I'm a sucker for paper products and an organizational freak, I'm probably going to use the Baby Daze organizer to keep all this information.

It's got sections for feeding, sleep, pumping (ugh, pumping!), milestones, gifts (to keep track so you can send out thank you notes - which I wasn't very good at the first time around - horrors!), food diary, medical info like weight, heigth growth, and contact info. The book is thick and I won't ever fill it out or use every section, but it is nice to keep organized in one place...at least until life gets too hectic and sleep-deprived.
