Description

First Year starts before your baby is born. Fifty weekly pages take you from the first ultrasound to the first birthday. A real book you fill in a page at a time, and print whenever you want. Every other baby app starts the day the baby is born, keeps your photos on their servers, and charges you monthly forever. This one starts at early pregnancy, keeps everything on your phone, costs one payment, and ends as a book you can hold. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most baby apps start on the day your baby is born, and they live on a phone that eventually gets lost or replaced. This one is built to be printed, held and kept forever. • Two pregnancy pages before day one: bump photos, due date, the moment you found out • Fifty weekly pages for the first year, each dated to your baby's real age • Questions worth answering. First smile, first steps, favorite toy, bedtime routine, and dozens more • A photo on every page. Tap to add, tap again to change • One tap turns it all into a print-ready PDF, photos included HOW IT WORKS Answer a question. Add a photo. Turn the page. You enter the birthday (or due date) once, so week 12 already says "Emma is 3 months old." PRICING Free for 14 d
