• Very Help to this First Time Mom & Dad
  I strongly recommend this book - but READ IT from start to finish (don't jump from subject to subject). WTEWYE was given to me as a gift early in my pregnancy (about 5 weeks in). I started reading from the first chapter and continued to read throughout my pregnancy. While it discuss the "worse case" it also discussed the "best case".

That quickly turned into reading the month-by-month scenarios, which gave me a little something to look forward to as I crossed into each month... until I figured out there was a world of websites out there that did the same thing, and they sent it to my email automatically! This book has very little sense of humor, and really is a worst-case-scenario... more info
