There is a new trend in the library

In the last 8 months, Amazon.com boxes with pregnancy books for parents-to-be appeared at a rate of about once a week. Then, after Colette got bored with those, we graduated to midwifery books. This trend, by the way, did not make me (nor Colette) happy, because these books focus on all that can go wrong. At some point I had to forbid Colette from reading sad stories and terrible descriptions of problems. But in any case, we survived so far.
NOW, there is a completely new trend, and not an unwelcome one! In recent days, the boxes showed clear tendencies to include baby-care books. From the conservative, traditional Dr. Spock book, to the conventional, but rebel How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor by Dr. Mendelsohn - all the way to the hocus pocus of Naturally Healthy Babies and Children: A Commonsense Guide to Herbal Remedies, Nutrition, and Health

This is a trend worth blogging.

Oh... on Wednesday we have an appointment with a pediatrician, as we need to get one before the baby is born.

I stumbled accross your blog randomly, and just wanted to wish you well! I have four children of my own, and reading your thoughts brought me back to thinking of my first pregnancy, and all the craziness that comes with it! You two seem like you'll be amazing parents! Good luck, have fun, and treasure this time!
