OK, first things first.
NO. I am not expecting.
That ship sailed five years ago, right after Emma was born.
Two and done, thank you very much.
However, some of you - my dear readers - might be expecting. Or maybe you just had a baby. Or you're thinking about getting pregnant.
Whatever your situation, the folks over at What to Expect have a perfect book for you.
What to Expect When You're Expecting - a week-to-week guide that will answers your questions from "planning through postpartum." I had this book on my nightstand during my first pregnancy. If something "weird" happened (yeah, like every day when you're pregnant for the first time), I'd grab the book and look it up.
What to Expect The First Year - a month-by-month guide that "explains everything you need to know" about the first year with your baby. Oh how I would have loved this book as a first-time mom eight years ago. I was so clueless when we brought Olivia home from the hospital! When we got home I remember looking at Kevin and saying "now what?"
What to Expect The Second Year - this is the "complete why, when, and how-to guide to your toddler's wonder year." Yeah. This book would have been a lifesaver during Olivia's second year. Oh man. I always heard about the "terrible twos" but didn't believe it until I saw them firsthand. We had sleep issues with Olivia (starting at 8 weeks old, mind you) and they lasted well into her "toddler" years. Any guidance would have been welcomed. And don't get me started on the whole pacifier "issue" and "breaking" her from the bottle.
Anyone with kids knows parenting isn't easy. You wonder if you're doing it right. Or if you're scarring your kids for life by letting them co-sleep (guilty as charged, thank you very much). The What to Expect books are a great resource for parents (and grandparents!). And so, I'd like to make it a bit easier for you!
