did you keep a pregnancy journal? I've kept one with each of my kids, and I love looking back and comparing what each one was doing when. I highly recommend doing it, if you don't already. You'll never remember what happened when once you have a few kids.

Oh, yes! I kept a journal and it was fun to do and marvelous to look back on.
I just wish we had the opportunity of scans in the days when I was pregnant. It must be wonderful to have a picture of your baby still in the womb
When I look back at my journal I see I was addicted to cheese and mayo sandwiches
There is so much you can do these days to make wonderful memories of your baby. I know I started a blog for our puppy (we got him at ten weeks) as I knew I'd never have the time to write in a physical journal (let alone hope he wouldn't eat it) or remember all the years later. We used pics, video and physical dimensions, and at only 9 months its fun to go back and look through. With the scans of pregnancy, video and pictures it would be super easy to do the same for a baby.
There are some sites that allow for free journals and I have seen some post their baby and pregnancy entries online for those family members not in the same state or country able to see the progress and think its sweet. I would keep an extra just for myself and spouse though too.
I've been keeping a bit of one, but not every day. My pregnancy has been so smooth that there's been nothing really importany to write in it. I do have a baby box and baby book handy for all the important stuff though.
I tried to keep a journal that I will one day give to my daughter, but I just couldn't get myself to write each and every day. I still think that I put a lot of effort into it, and that she will one day appreciate it. I filled up half of a 70 page note book rather than keep it online.
