A New Baby Keepsake Made From Your Texts
Print the texts from the months around the birth as a book. Pick a start date and an end date, and everything you sent each other in between is set in order.
Can I make a baby keepsake from our text messages?
Yes, by printing the messages from those months as a book. Every text is set in order with each name beside it. Nothing is rewritten, so the 3 a.m. ones read the way they were typed.
Which dates should a new baby book cover?
Start where the news starts and end a few months after the birth. You make the book with custom dates, so both ends are yours to choose. Some start at the test and some at the first appointment.
Which conversation should I use?
Use the one where most of it happened. For many people that is the texts between the two parents. The family groupchat where the announcement went out is another, and it prints with each relative's name beside their messages.
Can we print both our texts and the family groupchat?
Yes, as two books. Make one book per conversation, each with its own title and dates. With the groupchat, ask the family first, since it is their writing too.
Will the baby photos we texted be in the book?
No, the book is words only. It marks where each photo or voice memo was sent. The photos are in your camera roll, and the book keeps what was said around them.
We have no time right now, so can we do this later?
Yes, there is no deadline. You can choose the book and pay now, then send the chat when it suits you. A gift card from a relative works the same way.
How long does it take, and what does it cost?
A printed book arrives about two weeks after you approve it, and no delivery date is promised. The paperback is $49 and the hardcover is $89. Making it takes most people under ten minutes. See how a conversation becomes a book.

If You Want It As A Book
You will not remember most of those weeks. The texts from them are already written down, with times of day you would rather not think about. Or start with the free receipt.
