WHEN KRISTIN Bjurman was expecting her first child in
1982, she said she would always remember the experience.

But two years later, when preg-
nant with her second child, the
North Vancouver mother found
that wasn't the case.

This year Bjurman, who is ex-
pecting her third child in April, has
made sure her memory won't fail
an the subject of maternity.

Bjurman, 33, is the author of
Mom's Keepsake ~— A Maternity
Diary. The Si-page booklet gives
an expectant mother the opportu-
nity to maintain a record of her
pregnancy.

COMPARE PREGNANCIES

“YT had the idea (to write the
book) when | was pregnant with
my second child. People would
always ask me to compare my two
pregnancies and !{ realized how
much I had forgotten,’’ she said.

“Most new mothers figure
pregnancy is a time they’l! always
remember — the morning sickness
and the first day they could look
fried bacon in the eye, but they do
forget.”’

“When | first researched the
book | found there really was
nothing out there for 2 mom to
keep a diary of her progress
throughout the pregnancy,’’ she
said.

PRENATAL INFORMATION

The book covers such areas as
the initial visit to the doctor,
prenatal classes, a birth plan,
weight gain chart, favorite names,
labor, delivery and stay in the
hospital.

Jt also contains a monthiy
checklist of the baby's develop-
ment and the woman's special ac-
tivities, diet and any problems she
may encounter.

“IT tried to keep it concise
because I didn’t want an expectant
mother to feel she had to write in it
every day,’’ she said.

The book is available at Gordon
Souls Books in West Vancouver
and at Van Mag store in Rich-
mond,

Bjurman said 3,000 copies are
being marketed focally, and there
are plans to distribute the book
across Canada.

The cost of the book is $8.95.

It can also be ordered by writing
Suite 22-1501 Lonsdale Avenue,
North Vancouver, V7M 252.

Bjurman has been keeping track
of her third pregnancy by writing
in her book, which was published
last fall.
