Zaida Baby - My First Keepsake Giveaway (With Discount)

There are baby keepsake books...then there is THE baby keepsake book.

Due to their personal content, baby books can easily make you emotional and bring a tear to your eye, but this is the first baby book that has made me teary before I had even added Little Man's details. Zaida Baby: My First Keepsake memory book is elegant, timeless, and most importantly, genuinely touching.

Sandy Jamieson, the creator of Zaida Baby: My First Keepsake, developed this incredible memory book for both parents and babies alike. Realizing how important, and treasured, prenatal bonding is, Zaida Baby: My First Keepsake can be thought of as an "unborn" baby book. Beginning with striking images of expectant mothers and families, which are accompanied by an affirming and inspirational 'love letter' to your unborn child, Zaida Baby: My First Keepsake is designed to both enhance and encourage prenatal bonding. The book also contains two other sections, one to record your pregnancy experiences (and write a heartfelt letter to your little one) and the second to record the growth (and world) of your child.

You are encouraged to read Zaida Baby's love letter aloud to your unborn baby, as a means to establish a bond between you and your child, as well as to create a calming, positive environment. From the 24th week of pregnancy babies have been shown to be able to hear, and respond in kind, to their environment. With positive messages such as "I will be there when you fall...Soothe your tears...And help you to your feet again," and ending with the resolute and powerful "I Love you," Zaida Baby's love letter will nurture the bond between you and your child. I even take great joy in placing Little Man on my lap and reading the genuinely heartfelt love letter to him - the benefits of this amazing letter don't have to end with the birth of your child!

The Zaida Baby: My First Keepsake continues with a pregnancy journal that allows you to record important firsts (ultra sounds, movements, etc.) and mommy's feelings. There is also a spot to write your own 'love letter' to your unborn child, which continues the active bonding experience with your little one. Keep track of the growth of your expanding belly, and be able to share your joy of expecting with your child as they grow older.

With more than your typical baby book fare, in its third section, Zaida Baby leaves room for not only typical baby memories (firsts, measurements, etc.), but also pays special attention to parental feelings. Let your little one know how special it was to hold them for the first time, let them know how their little smile lit up your existence, share a special memory of how it felt to hear them laugh. It's attention to the true parent/child dynamic that really makes Zaida Baby: My First Keepsake special - an extraordinary baby book by all standards. Add your pictures and memories to capture those 9 important prenatal months and all the special moments with your child that will follow.

When I received the Zaida Baby: My First Keepsake baby book, I knew it was going to be special before I even opened it. Why? Attention to detail. The book arrives carefully wrapped in red tissue paper, accompanied by a heart felt letter from Sandy Jamieson. This same attention to detail is evident throughout the book. It can be described as simple elegance. A classic depiction of love that is fit to display on your coffee table or keep safely hidden away in your child's memory box - although its styling begs to be showcased. The book is bound with a black linen hardcover and lettered with silver foil stamping. Inside the glossy black pages are printed on acid-free archival paper (and a wonderful bonus: the pages are FSC approved recycled paper!) - so your little one's story (and yours) will last for years.

I've never seen a baby book of this quality and styling before. There are no blues, pinks, duckies, puppies, or flowers to detract from the pure message of Zaida Baby: My First Keepsake. It's about love, your child, and family. It's stylish and heartfelt, and I can not stop recommending it to expecting friends!
