Have you been good about updating a baby book since your little one arrived? You know, either a scrapbook with a bunch of photos and keepsakes in it, or one of those store bought books where you can record all of your baby's milestones?

Creating something to commemorate the important moments in our children's lives is definitely essential -- and one couple went one step further to make sure they'd never forget meeting their precious babies for the first time.

Dads Matt and Josh made a video of their adoption journey -- and managed to capture the first time they saw their twins on film.

Did I mention they flew across the globe to India to meet their children?

Apparently she wants to make sure her new little family isn't apart for one single second, because Kim Kardashian is taking her baby on tour with Kanye West instead of sitting at home alone and adjusting to life as a mom all by her lonesome self.

Yep, according to TMZ, Kim plans on packing up her 3-month-old baby to travel around with Kanye on a bus. She's reportedly even gone so far as to request cribs and soundproof hotel rooms at every stop along the way.

(How Kim Kardashian of her.)

When my wife and I got the call that a birth mother had picked us to be parents, five words almost knocked us for an even bigger loop. “Bring whatever outfits you’ve purchased,” our caseworker told us. My wife and I looked at each other. Outfits? The adoption agency had been very clear about not buying anything while waiting to be placed. After all, no one knows how long the wait will be.

So when we got the call, we had nothing. No outfits, no crib, no bassinet. No bottles, no wipes, no diapers, no toys. That’s a huge disadvantage people who plan to adopt have versus people who plan to “get pregnant.” There are no baby showers to load you up with necessities ahead of time, one of several major differences with taking in a child you didn't give birth to.

In what has to be one of the most heartwarming military reunions ever -- a Navy dad met his newborn son for the first time after an eight-month deployment.

Lt. Michael Lemmons was one of 27 dads who were waiting to meet their babies when the USS John C. Stennis pulled into the Naval Station in Bremerton, Washington. Lucky for us, his reunion with his wife, kids, and precious new addition was captured on film.

And while every single military homecoming tugs at our heartstrings, this one goes one step further -- all because of a simple yet incredibly sweet and romantic comment Lt. Lemmons made to his wife after holding his baby boy.

A little girl from the U.K. owes her life to a team of doctors who wrapped her in ice for three days as a newborn by placing her tiny body in a special cooling bag and bringing her temperature from 98 degrees Fahrenheit down to 95.9 degrees Fahrenheit.

When Lily Cracknell's mom, Rebecca Hasler, was 36 weeks pregnant, she was diagnosed with preeclampsia. She was taken to the hospital and labor was induced immediately, but when Lily was born at 5 pounds, 13 ounces -- she struggled to breathe for 30 minutes.

At that point, out of fear of brain swelling due to lack of oxygen, doctors decided they needed to act quickly and bring her temperature down.

Sigh. Even though it comes with sleepless nights, feeling overwhelmed a majority of the time, and a whole host of other challenges -- there's nothing quite like the baby phase.

Those precious moments during the first year of our little ones' lives are something we can never get back, so of course, we want to do our best to always remember them. And that's why even though I finally parted ways with tons of baby clothes, strollers, toys, and other gear -- there's one thing from when my son was a newborn that I absolutely refuse to give up under any circumstances.

The tiny little striped hat he wore home from the hospital.

When your baby is born, the first thing you want to do is just hold that baby. Look at her little eyes and lose yourself in the miracle you created. Now imagine if you were a dad-to-be and couldn't be there for the birth.

That's what happened to Navy engineer John Kaniecki, 23, who has been in the Persian Gulf since August. His wife was just about four months pregnant when he was deployed. Baby Jade was born in January. And on Tuesday, three months after her birth, the proud papa finally got to meet his baby. 

After all the fuss about Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's five-second maternity leave and total ban on working from home, she made some shocking news today. Yahoo will double its paid maternity leave from 8 weeks to 16. That's 16 PAID weeks for parental leave. Dads will get eight weeks of paid leave.

Just to put this in perspective, Google employees get 18 to 22 paid weeks, and at Facebook, moms and dads get 4 months. New Yahoo parents also get $500 to go toward related costs. But still, can you imagine getting a perk like that? I think parents would be more likely to take that leave if it were paid.
