Every Tuesday, I get together with a couple of girlfriends, all of us newish moms to boys. We’ll bring our little ones and meet at a coffee shop, a restaurant or at one of our homes. I’ve talked about the importance of meeting other moms and whenever we get together, I walk away with a bit more motherhood knowledge.
At one of our weekly gatherings, one of the moms was telling us that she created an email account for her son before he was born. On a nightly basis, she would write a short email and attach a photo, an idea she got from a gmail commercial. The emails would include photos throughout her pregnancy, photos from birth, photos for every milestone or just photos from a regular day. I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard this! It sounded like such a special idea both for the mother and for the child, who would possibly be reading one day. I immediately came home and created an email account for Nate. Today I ended up sending one of my favorite videos from last week!

My mom wrote me letters while she was pregnant with me and throughout my childhood. As I got older it was one of the ways we communicated since we butted heads while having actual conversations in my wild teenage years. I still have the letters to this day and treasure them all!
I have been writing my little boy letters since I found out I was pregnant – now 20 weeks, but having them on email sounds so much better than saving them in my phone. Signing him up for this now! I hope he treasures them the way I do mine 🙂

Omg, Helena, the video of Nate is too cute! I started cracking up when he didn’t laugh at the part with the cat, lol! The e-mail account sounds like such a great idea, too! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you’re having a great start to your week so far!

A child’s laughter is the most beautiful thing in the world!!! You’ll look back at that video years from now and it will still bring you great joy.♥

What a GREAT idea. Love that he can connect with you on a deeper level when he’s grown and that you have a way to remember some key moments in his childhood. Enjoy this time. He’s so precious!
