Making a baby book scrapbook- what are some page ideas/things to include?

I am trying to put together a scrapbook instead of buying one for my newborn. What are important things to include? I want to include things that happened during the pregnancy, too, like the baby shower. I only have the first page so far that has the birthday, weight, length, hospital, and time of birth. Thanks for any help. I have tried to find things online, but have had no luck!

1. What would be cute is to, on each page, put pictures of the baby at a certain age. Then as time goes on, add older pictures to the next, and to the next, and then you'll be able to look at your baby as he/she grows up through life, and re-live all the moments ^^ Don't forget to decorate it with adorable stickers!
2. i have a whole scrapbook dedicated to when i was pregnant at my baby shower everyone that came, made a page for my book, they put a photo of themselves as well as a prediction on the birth date, weight, boy/girl etc - so i put all those pages in the book and added all the ultrasound photos, all the photos of me when i was preggers etc its great to look back on - and 90% of the ppl guessed the date my son was to be born!!! but if you just starting now, start with ultrasound photos, then pregnancy photos, then start from birth and keep going - make sure its in order from birth up etc put bub's hospital bracelet in there, i also made a scrapbook page and wrote on it all the presents we got and who gave them to us
3. I like doing a page for each holiday. I also like doing things like a day at the beach, park and zoo. I also have a bath page with ducks and bubble stickers ever where.
4. Go to the store and get the scrapbook kit would be best or buy the stickers located by the photo albums, you just have to have fun doing it.
5. I'm starting mine at the moment too. I'm going to put my ultrasounds in it, have a page of when she was born, the day we went home, 1st birthday, 1st xmas etc. I'm also going to have pages for when she starts sitting rolling etc. I have a baby album that I am filling with photos and keeping the scrapbook for special moments and milestones. Congrats on the baby and have fun doing your scrap book.
6. I tried to scrapbook but soon gave up lol. I work 50 hours + a week and dont have time for that so what I do is go to snapfish.com and create photobooks. You can pick the background and put as many pics on the page as you want. they're 20 bucks and ship really fast! Im doing one for each month until she's a year and then yearly after that. Just an idea for you incase scrapbooking gets overwhelming. If your baby hasnt been born yet, I would have done this.....Take a picture of your baby in a chair with a teddy bear and a tag with the age, 1 wk, 2 wk, you get the hint :) . Take the same pic same scenario each week and that would be fun to include in a scrapbook. I would also do a page for each holiday, bath time, special family outings, funny faces, a grandparents page...ect. Good luck, Im sure it'll be cute!
7. all the firsts ofcoarse, I made a scrapbook for her whole first month and i have a big picture book starting from when she was born as well but it will keep going until she is 1 . In her scrapbook i have our hospital bracelets, and the paper saying im a girl, and her footprints and handprints. Also some pictures of my belly in the begining and ultrasounds. and a page that says bath time and some cute bath pictures. Also a page that says funny faces and its a collage of all the silly faces she makes. And a whole bunch of other cute random pages :)
8. Just try putting all the important events that happened or will happen to his/her life and of course you can include your pregnancy cause it is where everything started. If you want more information about these kinds of things, try this site I found: http://www.PlanAFamily.com. It's a nice looking site, with good information for mothers.
