Subject: [NEWGEN] Baby Books Not Filled Out??


: If you are like me, my baby book was not filled out. I
: was #3 of three girls and Mother was alone with us as
: my Daddy was working on the Rail Road to earn a living
: in the early 1940s. So I wanted to share with you what
: I am doing with my baby book. First and foremost, I
: took it to my mother and had her fill in some of the area
: we both knew the answers to. But it was scant information.
: I have a photo of the hospital I can add to the book from
: the time period. When I was home I found a box of letters
: from my Daddy and letters and scraps written when we
: were in the hospital. On one scrap I found my weight at
: 2, 3, and 4 weeks old. My nurses names, Gifts, cards,
: visitors, lots of other goodies that Mother jotted down
: with the intention of putting it all in my book no doubt.
: But we had a large farm and livestock and she worked
: out many years besides helping care for the farm. So it
: never got pulled together. I am typing up the scraps
: onto uniform size paper as they are just scraps of paper
: written on every which way., It was War time, paper was
: hard to come by. They will be put in my baby book along
: with the baby cards and letters I have found. These things
: had been tucked away at the old farm house, all these
: years. Its a wonder the mice hadnt eaten it all up.
: Now I will have a nice baby book with part of it in Mothers
: handwriting and the rest typed up neatly to add to it. I am
: glad I got snoppy the last trip home and found this in the
: boxes stored away. Mother was 90 this April.
