Kit
Heritage Archive: Birth Archive
Printable insert pages for names chosen, first words, milestones, and the story of arrival
Capture the story of who you were when your child arrived.
For the New parents who want to document the full story of becoming parents — and the people who love them enough to give a gift that survives longer than the onesies
The Name It First Experience
Every parent knows the feeling: you are living the most important moment of your life and you are too exhausted to write any of it down. The Birth Archive Kit gives new parents structured prompts to document what the baby book doesn't ask: the moment they found out, the pregnancy experience, the birth story in real detail, the first weeks, and who they were as people before the child arrived. The output is a written archive that sits alongside the photos — something the child will eventually read not as a record of their birth, but as a portrait of the people who became their parents.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What was the first week with the baby like — what surprised you most?
- What do you want this child to know about the people they were born to — who you were, what you hoped for them, what you were carrying?
- What do you want your child to know about who you were as a person before they arrived?
- Can you tell me the moment you found out — where you were, what you did, what you felt in that first minute?
