On the day you were born books

Did you receive one of those "On the Day You were Born" books when your baby was born? We actually ended up with two, one of which we're saving and one which I am desperately trying to find time to fill out.
See, if I don't do it now I never will. And I'll forget everything that went on the day of the delivery, etc. Yet it's hard to pinpoint all those feelings--and the facts. I was busy going through all of it, and living it--not observing any of it or filing it away for such a book later.
Still, I want to be able to record what happened before what we think happened takes the place of what actually happened. Already mu husband and I differ on the chain of events. We do agree there was Thai food involved and that we ended up with a wonderful Mr. Pickles, but the in between stuff is already getting a little fuzzy.
Is it better to record these details and events for a concrete version of what happened or let the memory stand? Hard to say, and I'm sure everyone has a different position on this. As for me, I'm going to try to fill mine out, no matter how long it takes. And I'm going to get my husband to help me. Fact or legend, I want there to be something there for me to give to Mr. Pickles as a memento from his past.
I'll probably leave out the part where I did all the screaming though.
