Re: book recommendations

'Your Pregnancy Week by Week' is a MUST HAVE. You will love reading what's going on with the baby and your body each week.

Also 'What to expect while you are expecting'.

I second this. I actually find this book more useful than the 'What to Expect...'

Elizabeth, did you see they make one for the first year of the baby too? I think that I am definitely going to have to get this one as well.

I second all of the above!

And you are going to need a name book as well! Even if you have your names picked out, you'll find yourself constantly second guessing them!

Yes & I have it. It was good too EXCEPT with this book you have to take into account that it is based on what the 'average' child's development so don't freak out if your child is not mirroring what they say in the book that week. I think it's a more exact science to demonstrate what the pregnancy is like week by week vs. a newborn/infant's development. Does that make sense?

LOL of course I GLOWED when Luke was ahead of what they were saying

Of course, but I think that I just like the layout or something better. To me, it seems so much more factual then some of the other books.
