So, I’m pregnant, and I have to say, pregnancy is a long process! I find it fascinating that some people experience their pregnancies as going by “too fast” because I truly feel like I have been pregnant for over a year already.
One thing that keeps me going week to week is a series of books that Kristen and I both love. It is the Your Pregnancy series, and it includes two noteworthy books.
First, the week-by-week book. This is by far and away the best weekly book we have found for expectant parents. Every week it gives a sketch of your baby, talks about baby’s developments, and changes for YOU to be aware of. It is not overly frightening like some weekly books can be, but it does bring important issues to mind.
Second, the Father-to-Be book. My husband has been reading this along side me at night, and he seems to get enjoyment out of it. More than he has with many other baby-related reading materials I have put in front of him as of late. This guide covers everything dads-to-be need to know about pregnancy, childbirth, and getting ready for a new baby.
Written with the expectant dad’s needs and concerns in mind, this new edition includes:
- Up-to-date medical information and a comprehensive glossary of terms
- The latest information about tests and procedures your partner may undergo
- Information on how pregnancy may affect your couple relationship and ways to handle it
- Ways to evaluate the financial impact of having a baby
- Guidance on how to be a great labor coach
- Tips for supporting your partner during pregnancy and the birth of your new baby
Lastly, but certainly not least, we’d like to mention the super fun “Postcards from the Bump.”
The perfect gift for a mommy-to-be, it offers a host of stress-free things to do while waiting for your bump’s arrival, including:
- Uncover your Prego Persona: Are you a Gucci, Gucci Glamour Mama, an Earth Mama, or something else?
- Plan Your Baby Moon Getaway
- Get Tips for Eating Well while You’re Swell
- Help Daddy-O Relate to Bump
- Create a “While We Were Waiting for You” Scrapbook
With the hundreds of books available to expectant parents, we like to trim the fat and tell our clients where they will get the most bang for their buck…. These are it!
