If you really thought about it, a little baby is going to come into this world totally dependant on you, with nothing. No clothes, no hairbrush, no crib. Its all up to you. This is the only planner to actually help you plan out your purchases & borrowings so that when your baby arrives, you've thought of everything. When to apply for a SSN for the baby, questions to ask pediatricians, health care providers, midwives. When to and what to buy (clothes, furniture etc.) to spread the expense out. It has space for you to fill in all your answers too. I love this planner. Looking ahead, yeah, you have 9 months, but when you realize all that has to be done you may panic. This planner keeps it and you all together. I'm getting a second for our second pregnancy. Congratualtions!

Louise Edeiken and Johanna Antar are to be congratulated on their bouncing baby book, Now That You're Pregnant. The book is small, light and totebagable. The no-nonsense checklist format especially appeals to Dads-to-be...no wading through warm, fuzzy paragraphs on the joys of motherhood and feeling left out. Leave it to these two professional organizers.... Who wants to worry about insurance policies and diaper services, labor and lab work when there are bigger issues at stake...macadamia nut or choco-mint with that kosher dill? This book really takes the panic out of pregnancy. It's the best gift you can give or receive.
