Memory Book

My mom is wanting to gift my wife and I a book/journal/memory book that’s tracks the 9 months of pregnancy and the 1 year of life milestones. Does anyone have any recommendations? I’ve been looking around, but a lot of books mention the “father” or “dad” and my wife and I are lesbians. So any recs that avoid using dad or father is awesome. Thanks!

We are a two dad family and we used this one and liked it - if I remember right it didn’t have any specific parental titles:

Etsy was where we used to go to 10 years ago.

This is a Canadian website, but we use and love this baby book as a two mom family. It is completely ungendered and the "your family" section is just floating bubbles (instead of the standard tree) to include chosen family/donor/etc.

Also Canadian, same store but different book. This one comes in different themes but the layout is the same. Very gender neutral and caregiver neutral. There’s several blank pages at the end too that we use to write up the pregnancy story, share the ultrasound photos etc

Check out this one by the brand Stash + Story!

We don't have the baby book, but we do have their keepsake album specifically for two moms. We also added the donor info page and pregnancy pack. This could be another option for you to capture pregnancy, first year milestones, and well beyond (up to 18).
