Baby Books?

I'm looking for a baby book that covers the first five years but that doesn't have all the pregnancy stuff in it. Or one that allows you to easily remove the pregnancy stuff from it. Can folks PM me with suggestions? I'd like it to be from a store, if possible, so I can actually see it before purchasing, but I realize that I may be asking for something that doesn't exist, so I'll take what I can get. I searched a bit online but it's somewhat overwhelming, and I don't have an overabundance of time what with a 13-month-old and all! :-)

Thank you for any suggestions!

"A Blessing From Above" baby book is good. It's spiral bound, so you can easily remove the pages that don't apply. PM for a web-site where it's on sale.

I just got one called I am Chosen. It's spiral bound so pages can be taken out. I don't think it has pregnancy topics and it says "my first ... with my family". PM me if you want the website. There are a few sample pages there or I can show you some pictures from mine.
