Thanks for list, it's always nice to get an expert opinion and seal of approval on things like these. I will be sure to file these away for a couple of years until I need them! : )
wow...you are all studied up! I read What to Expect and Pregnancy Week by Week or something like that--it was loaned by a friend. I should have read more!
i think crib notes is a cute book for new parents. it is described as 'a random reference for the modern parent' and i picked it up at paper source.
congratulations on your pregnancy!
I'm learning a lot from The Happiest Baby on the Block...thanks for sharing your picks!
Also, not to forget the dad to be:
"She's Having a Baby - and I'm Having a Breakdown" by James Douglas Barron
:)
Girlfriend's Guide was my go-to manual. I love the telling-it-like-it-is frankness of Vicky Iovine.
Thanks for the great list!
Oh my gosh "Belly Laughs" had me rolling and everybody else at my work! It is seriously so funny!
