3 out of 5 stars No space for Dads........2007-08-21

This book is great if you are going to be a single mom. I was shocked that there was no space for Daddy. There is an entire page dedicated to the mom's family tree. There is also 3 pages for the mom to detail her career, her favorite things, her goals, her friends...but again nothing that addresses the dad. I would like for them to at least include pages for dad and give people the option of tearing out un-wanted pages.

5 out of 5 stars Love Love Love this book!.......2007-08-07

This book is perfect for recording your pregnancy step-by-step. It is fun to update it after every Dr's visit. I also enjoy the journal pages where there's plenty of room to record your thoughts and feelings. This book has space to keep track of how you're feeling physically and emotionally through your entire pregnancy. I recommend to anyone who's expecting.

5 out of 5 stars Valuable keepsake........2007-07-13

I got this book as soon as I found out I was pregnant. I am not big into keeping journals and doing scrapbooks from scratch. This wondefully laid out and guided "journal" is just right for someone like me. I wrote almost everything about my doctor's visits, put sonogram pictures, then baby shower mementos and later baby's first pictures, and hospital tags. I think while you are pregnant it is a nice way to spend your free time waiting and dreaming of the baby. Once baby is here it is so hard to keep any kind of journals about a baby's first year. At least for me. I am looking forward to flipping through it every year for my son's birthday.

5 out of 5 stars Great book!.......2007-07-06

You won't be disappointed. Well, I wasn't. It's true that there isn't anything for the dad to fill-out, but it's an easy fix.

4 out of 5 stars Good product but not perfect.......2007-05-31

I like this book- the cover is nice, the quality paper is good. However, I wish the different sections were divided more clearly with dividers. Also, I wish there were questions for Dad to fill in. All in all, I'd buy this again.

Annie's Diary
Edited by: Dr. Beatrice Sparks
This book is based on a girl's diary that was faced with the worst experience of her life and was edited by Dr. Beatrice Sparks.
Annie, the main character of this book was madly in love with sports. She had been playing at one of her soccer games just like any other day and kaput she had gotten side tackled and limped off the field. While she was sitting on the bench this guy named Danny whom she had never met bothered to ask her if she was alright. Her eyes brightened; she thought she was in love Danny's looks had charmed her.
Annie never normally cared what she looked like for school but she was determined to make a good impression of herself to her mystery guy. Bell after bell every chance she got she would roam the halls looking for her prince charming. One day they finally ran into each other. He asked her out on a date. She was ecstatic and said yes. Her best friends were very supportive over her and agreed that it would be a bad idea for Annie to tell her mother about the guy she had met.
They began dating and Annie thought that they were destined to be together. They would always spend time alone together but then when it came to Danny's friends he never spoke a word to her. He acted like he didn't even know her. He was beginning to act stranger as the days went by.
Would Annie change her opinion and personality all over a guy who she thought she was destined to be with?
This was a great book it really got me involved in my reading I never wanted to put down I just wanted to keep reading and find out what happened next. This book brings a lot of suspense to me when I was reading and helped me realize what could happen in my own life. I would recommend this book to teenage girls or anyone who loves reading books based on true stories or diaries or to anyone who loves to read romance stories, or loves a good book that you can't stop reading.

5 out of 5 stars True Story.......2007-04-25

This is a true story of a teen who is going to have a baby. She tells her mother; her mother is loving and understanding and compassionate. Will she keep the baby or give it up? This true story tells how she dealt with it. I really enjoyed it.

5 out of 5 stars Teenage Pregnancy.......2007-02-23

Growing up around teenage mothers, this book really helped me to understand what they are going through. Anybody, child, parent, sibling, friend, who has a teenage mother or pregnant-about-to-be mother in their life, you should definitely read this book to get a better understanding of their feelings and emotions and how they still do have options.

5 out of 5 stars Annies baby.......2007-02-07

In my opinion this is one of the best books i have ever read in my whole entire life
It is just so touching and once you start reading it you truly cant stop because you get so caught up in the moment and so into it that you actually feel sorry for annie and you fell as if you know her.
This is a good book

1 out of 5 stars Shameful.......2007-01-06

Beatrice Sparks is the author/editor of a serious of "anonymous" teen diaries. They are meant as "warnings" to children. In fact, they are not based on real diaries and the only one that actually was, she used about 10% of the journal entries and added a Satanic theme which horrified the family.

Now I am aware that children should be taught such things as drugs are bad, teenage pregnancy is not preferable, don't kill yourself etc. However, I take offense when presented in this manner. Children learn best from the truth not extreme propaganda. I also take offense that many libraries (especially school libraries) list this book as non-fiction, when in fact it is a work of fiction.

Book Description

Every new parent wants to know what the infant's experience is really like. In Diary of a Baby, renowned infant psychiatrist Daniel Stern brings us closer than ever before to penetrating a young child's consciousness. In alternating sections of evocative prose, representing the baby's own voice, and explanatory text, Daniel Stern draws on his research findings and years of clinical experience to re-create the baby's world. Diary of a Baby, with a new introduction by the author, can be read alongside Dr. Stern's book on the motherhood experience The Birth of a Mother.

Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars a little too verbal for a baby.......2007-09-17

This author pretends that he is speaking as the baby and its ridiculous. He is a baby with a HUGE extensive vocabulary and is also very poetic. At times these baby narrations just become too silly to even take this book seriously.

5 out of 5 stars A great gift for new parents.......2006-03-09

As a pediatrician, I love this little book and have given it to all my friends when they had their first baby. Dr. Stern is a recognized expert on early childhood development and teaches at Cornell. In this book he has done something quite unusual. He succeeded in weaving the pearls from his academic work into a delightful, readable book that any interested person can enjoy. This book makes it fun to understand your child better.

5 out of 5 stars every new parent should read this.......2005-08-31

This is an amazing book. It tells the story of what life is like from birth to age 4 from the point of view of the child. I give it as a gift to every new parent I know because I believe that the most important quality in a parent is empathy -- the capacity to understand the inner experience of their child. It is written by a highly respected researcher on child development and is also useful for graduate students in psychology to get a handle on difficult concepts in a pleasurable way.

5 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Mind.......2002-12-17

Dr. Stern's prose is beautiful. He presents, in near poetry-format, a fascinating look into the mind of an infant. Starting at 4 weeks and continuing to 4 years, he brings you into the world of a child. I couldn't put this book down! (And this is notable, given that I am a new Mom and have more than enough to do!)

5 out of 5 stars lucid presentation of latest infant development theories.......1996-11-24

Daniel Stern is a world expert on infant development and psychiatry, as well as an iconoclastic and creative theorist. This book is a lucid and poetic presentation of his theories, accessible to the layman and full of treasures for the professional. It is the form of a set of small vignettes from significant stages in the devellopment of a little boy, Joey. The poetry is necessary because much of the concepts refer to pre-verbal stages of development, and it works very well. This book is a good companion read to _The interpersonal world of the infant_ which presents the ideas from a technical point of view, with the supporting scientific evidence.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOUR EXPECTING.......2007-09-21

It was purchased for my daughter-in-law. They are expecting their first child. She loves the book. It is and will be very helpful thru the next 7 months. She loves looking at the size of the baby as it grows. I would recomend it for any new to be Mom. It's a great gift for anyone you know who is expecting.

5 out of 5 stars Invaluable during pregnancy!.......2007-09-21

I purchased this organizer for my first pregnancy and knew right away with my second pregnancy that I would buy it again! It is so helpful to have all my information in one place. It allows you to write in insurance information, doctor's contact information, results from tests, pregnancy wellness exams and much, much more. It really is invaluable! I loved looking back at my first pregnancy organizer and reminding myself of everything that occurred. There are other pregnancy organizers on the market, but I think this one is the most detailed.

4 out of 5 stars Very handy! .......2007-08-21

I was mid pregnancy when they came out with the revised version of the organizer. I like the new version much better. It was very helpful for all of my questions I had as a first time mom. I highly recommend this book for any one who likes to keep things organized and want one place to keep track of all of their pregnancy needs. I will defiantly buy one again for my next pregnancy.

4 out of 5 stars Could be better, but I still love mine.......2007-07-18

I have 4 kids and one of these for each of them. They made keeping track of what questions I had for the doc, weight changes, allowed meds, etc a lot easier. I don't think (as a first time mom) that I would've known just what to write down. As I've gone along with other pregnancies, I've learned to be more detailed in my writing and now go back to past journals as reference materials. Just when did heartburn kick in? When did I get to the point when I had trouble sleeping or rolling over?

The cons, as other reviewers have noted, mainly have to do with the layout. It's just not as easily accessible as it could be. I dealt with this by getting reusable sticky page markers and wrote the most important sections down: OB Appointments, Journal area, etc. Another beef I had was that there weren't quite enough slots for the appointments for me. There were periods when I had more frequent visits than usual and I ended up having to write on the reverse side of the previous page. If you have a difficult pregnancy, this may be an issue. Also, they only give you a small square for each week of journaling. I had way more to write than I had space and ended up writing very tiny to squeeze it all in.

Keep a pencil with it with a book/magazine to read in a small tote bag to grab on your way to the OB's. Just don't keep it where small children can get to it...

5 out of 5 stars Good record keeper.......2007-07-07

I used this journal for my first my pregnancy and am using the revised version now. Being high risk, it is great to be able to refer to my first journal weekly to see if I'd experienced the same symptoms the first time around. It's handy to take to dr visits to help remember questions I wanted to ask.The section tabs and the pocket are great additions. I wish there was a tab for each & every section, rather than just 3 general sections-had to add my own. This book is ideal for record keeping and remembering all those little things about the time you spent carrying your baby. I highly recommend it.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars really cool.......2007-03-13

this journal is really cool. i loved the pregnancy journal, i used that as soon as we knew we were pregnant and i loved the format! so when i heard there was a baby one, i was excited to get it! it is a great place to take notes on your baby as he grows. a 'normal' journal just doesnt work when you are a new mother! so this is a really great item!

5 out of 5 stars Great Journal.......2007-01-19

This Journal is the best I found! I've used the exact same one for all 3 of my kids! What I love about it is it's not a daily journal, yet not a weekly journal. You put your entries in every 4-7 days! And there's great reading in between to keep up on the social, emotional and physical developments of your baby week by week! I never felt "overwhelmed" trying to fill these journals out. The space to write varies in length from 1/4 of a page to 1/2 a page which also helps reduce the stress of having to write a FULL PAGE everytime!

3 out of 5 stars Good for 1st time moms for 1st few weeks.......2007-01-11

This is a nice book for a first time mom in those very early weeks when she is probably very nervous and unsure and might want a neutral source to refer to instead of listening to all the advice of well-meaning friends & family. After the first few months I rarely looked at it aqain though.

5 out of 5 stars Love it.......2006-11-07

I love this series. It's light reading, but has enough information. As a new mom, you don't always have the time to read a book this size, but its broken up into day to day reads, so you can either read one day per day or on week at a time. I got this as gifts for all my friends.

1 out of 5 stars Wishing I had not bought this book.......2006-10-04

I bought both this book and the toddler book to write my childs memories down. I started using it for both my kids and realized that there was very little space to write things down when I needed to. I ended up writing over the text which I just stopped reading because it was not helpful at all and unorganized and was covered much better in other developmental books. To add to the frustration, there are cutesy quotes on EVERY page, and when there was a break in the develpmental jargon, they filled the space up with huge pointless graphics that they did not have the courtesy to make light enough to write over! Why call this a journal at all? I am cutting out the pages I did write in and starting over with another Journal. Dont waste your money.

3 out of 5 stars pregnancy journal.......2007-09-17

I was hoping that the journal had more question in it. It has a lot of space to write your feelings and such but not a lot of lead in questions. The pictures are beautiful and the book is nicely bound. Easy to use and has nice thick writing paper.

4 out of 5 stars Fantastic for mothers and fatehrs to be!!.......2007-08-08

I bought this book for my friend. I chose this book because of the indepth writing that the mother would be able to do. Most of the other books like this were only a few pages, this book had over 100. A mother and father could write all of their feelings and the emotional roller coaster that goes along with being pregnant. Overall, this is a great book. Also, the pictures are amazing.

5 out of 5 stars I like it!.......2007-04-05

This book is great. The pictures are very beautiful and there is plenty of writing space to jot down how you're feeling and what you're thinking. A great keepsake for your baby, and could be passed down to a daughter (or in-law) when they are expecting so they can compare their feelings to yours.

5 out of 5 stars My Pregnancy Journal by Anne Geddes.......2007-03-29

I purchased this journal for my daughter-in-law who is expecting her first baby. I was impressed with the journal and she loves it. She likes to "journal" anyway, so this was a perfect fit for her. The illustrations are outstanding. We were both very pleased.

3 out of 5 stars Nice looking.......2006-11-04

I bought this book because it had the nicest pictures inside and did NOT have any tips or organizing anything like that, I already have pregnancy books for that. I like that there is a lot of space to write but I'd really like a blank book with nice pictures for me to write day to day thoughts in, without the book telling me what to write (like this does). I have not found anything that is not a regular plain journal so this works I guess.

Book Description

Before you get to meet your baby, you spend a swell (so to speak) nine months getting acquainted with your growing belly. The first pregnancy journal devoted 100% to you and your belly, The Belly Book is organized by trimester and includes pages for “time-lapse” belly photos and ultrasound images, as well as prompts for writing about morning sickness, food cravings, maternity clothes you never want to see again, and much more.

96 two-color pages (guided), 8 x 9 inches, with a concealed wire-O binding

4 out of 5 stars Good journal keeper for baby.......2007-10-13

I like this book a lot. It has helped me to document each week of my pregnancy. I wish they didn't have a spot specifically for week-by-week photo though as we opted not to do that. But overall a fun book to keep tract of how you are feeling with your pregnancy.

5 out of 5 stars Great way to capture memories for myself!.......2007-10-12

I just found out I am pregnant for the second time. This time i have the baby book and also purchased this one. I plan on keeping this one for my memories! It is soo cute and has lots of places to put pictures. it also gives you the freedom to document all your thoughts and feelings in a fun silly way! I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!

5 out of 5 stars Fun and Breezy and won't bog you down..........2007-08-31

I got this book when I was already four months along, and I love it. There's just enough space for comments and notes, and I love the week-by-week journal pages, with spaces for pictures. Of course I don't have pics of my belly for the weeks before I knew I was pregnant, but I included pics of myself taken during those weeks, or pics of what was going on during that week. It's so much fun filling it out, and I know that I will complete this one precisely BECAUSE it's so much fun. The design is fun, too, with the pages for each trimester "sticking out" more, just as your belly does. This will be a fantastic keepsake for me and my baby. The only thing I wish it had (and I noticed another reviewer mentioned the same thing) is a space on each week to write the dates for that week. I wrote it in myself, but it would be nice if there was a spot for it.

I highly recommend this book for any pregnant woman, no matter how far along you are.

5 out of 5 stars The Belly Book.......2007-08-12

The Belly Book prompts a mommy-to-be to enter important details about the pregnancy like foods that make you sick and foods you have to have. There are also places for a picture of the pregnant belly from week to week. I can't wait to see the finished product once I have the baby in February!!

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE this book!!.......2007-08-03

I bought this book at the bookstore. I wanted to find a journal-type book to document my pregnancy. My memory was starting to go, and I didn't want to forget anything! Thank goodness I got this book. My memory is gone now! :) I love this book. There are so many different areas in it. The beginning has a spot for your name, age, and which pregnancy this is for you. It has three divisions: first, second, and third trimesters. The tabs are colored, too. Each section has questions relevant to that trimester. For example, the first trimester: Where and when I took the home pregnancy test and First reaction when I realized it was positive. There's a spot to put your doctor's name, your starting weight, and your plans for delivery. There's a section in every trimester titled Cravings & Aversions (food you love and hate at the time). There is room for pictures on every page. There are pages strictly for ultrasound pictures. You can write something on every page. It goes week-by-week. I just LOVE it! I would HIGHLY recommend this book to every pregnant woman out there. It's a great way to document your pregnancy, and a great momento for the child it's about. One day, I'll give this book to my baby. I hope she'll appreciate it as much as I do. :)

4 out of 5 stars Great Book!.......2007-08-23

I really recommend this book to anyone who is looking to record the details of their baby shower! The unfortunate thing is that there aren't many out there to choose from. I wish this was a tad bit bigger. If your invitation is on the larger side, it might not fit on the page for a keepsake. But overall, I am very happy with the book. I wanted to be able to keep my own memories and have other's advice and predictions in the same place and this book does all of that and more.

4 out of 5 stars It's a nice keepsake!.......2007-08-05

We were looking for a shower keepsake book for my second shower. We had a very nice one 4 years ago from Hallmark for the shower when I was pregnant with my son. Now, Hallmark doesn't have them anymore so this seemed the closest to it that we could find. You can fit pictures, but only one on a page, which I would probably put more in a scrapbook anyways. I like all the spaces for signatures, predictions, gifts, and etc. It's not as big as my sons but it will be something still to cherish.

4 out of 5 stars Great Baby Shower Gift.......2007-06-07

I bought this for my daughter-in-law's baby shower.
It's very cute and is formatted nicely for recording a very special event.

We put a picture of the sonogram on front cover.
We also layed the album open on table for guests to sign during the shower...

5 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for..........2007-02-08

This book has it all. I loved the parent pages and the advice section for the guests. It really is a treasure for mom-to-be.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!!.......2007-01-09

I bought this for my sister's baby shower! She loved it! It is very cute and has plenty of pages for pictures, notes, predictions, etc! A great keepsake!

4 out of 5 stars Pregnancy Calendar.......2007-05-09

I searched through many pregnancy calendars and found this one to be easy to use. The pictures are lovely and the stickers provided outlining significant events during the pregnancy were fun. There is a place to jot down information each month about your doctor's visit. There is space to also write-in any additional information you desire on the date. I highly recommend this product.

5 out of 5 stars Anne Geddes does it again!.......2007-04-19

Another great product from Anne Geddes, who manages to capture such beauty. Sacred - Another great idea for baby showers (to complement Anne Geddes's products)

4 out of 5 stars Good.......2007-01-09

Calendar is nice of very good quality and helpful hints
However I thought there would be more baby pictures in the calendar. So if you are looking for baby pictures, this is not a good calendar. Function of the calendar is great.

5 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Gift.......2006-11-06

This beautiful calendar will make a very special gift for any mother-to-be. I purchased it for my daughter, whose 2 year struggle to get pregnant finally succeeded with the help of IVF. The Anne Geddes pictures are true to form and so beautifully unique.

Book Description

Martha Brockenbrough's It Could Happen to You is a delightfully funny diary of the author's own pregnancy through the first year of her daughter's life. It is the perfect antidote to all of the patronizing, horribly dull pregnancy books, which are long on advice and short on laughs.It Could Happen to You began as a column Brockenbrough wrote for the Microsoft Network while she was pregnant. During its tenure on MSN, it was the most widely read column about pregnancy and motherhood on the Internet. It's easy to see why. Brockenbrough's amusing approach to pregnancy and motherhood will strike a chord with experienced moms and the newly pregnant alike, who may wonder, as the author did, "Do I really have to wear maternity clothes'"Throughout the book, Brockenbrough shares her joys and her fears, and asks the questions every new mom wants to know, such as, "Why do old ladies keep telling me my baby is cold'" and shares the realization that "When you're a mother, your guilt light goes off the second you start doing something for you, instead of something for your child." A few not-to-be-missed chapters written by her husband, Adam, such as "A Guy's Guide to Baby Holding," provide a comical male perspective on the whole experience.Refreshingly honest and funny, It Could Happen to You is just right for bolstering the most important tool a new parent has-a sense of humor.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2007-02-17

I bought this book looking for something truly "different" than the typical pregnancy books on the market - and perhaps to maybe reveal a little more than my friends' censored trips down memory lane. Although I found the diary-like style of this memoir to make for an easy read, I have to admit that I was getting rather annoyed and impatient with the author. As another reviewer stated, my life does not compare with the author's seemingly perfect life. In fact, I enjoyed the sections her husband contributed much more than the rest of the book! Honestly, I ended up skimming through the last portion of the book because I simply had enough of Brockenbrough's whinning and obsession with matching blankets with clothes. I mean...really?!@#! Maybe if I have a little girl my feelings might be different - for now I'm hoping that Jane Symons' "How to have a baby and still live in the real world", is a better read. I would pass on adding this one to your collection - consider getting it from the library!

4 out of 5 stars A fun read for any "career woman" who is suddenly expecting.......2007-01-11

A humorous and easy read.

5 out of 5 stars Great Gift for the New Mother.......2006-11-03

My sister had just had her first baby and was feeling overwhelmed. After reading some reviews, I purchased this book for her. My sister said she read the book while baby was sleeping in her arms, but was laughing so hard at times she'd have to put the book down to keep from awakening or frightening the baby. My sister was very thankful for the comic relief and has since looked at her overwhelming moments with humor. Definitely a great gift.

5 out of 5 stars She's Right - It Could Happen to You.......2006-09-08

This is an honest, funny, and sweet memoir of pregnancy and the first year as a parent. Brockenbrough takes us along on her journey as she lives the ups and downs of life as a new parent. It's sometimes funny, sometimes endearing, but always entertaining. Brockenbrough is not as outrageous as Jenny McCarthy, which is a good thing, because her book will appeal to everyone. It could be you in this book, for all intents and purposes, and reading someone else's first experience with parenthood is sure to arm a new mom with insights and hope.

1 out of 5 stars Absolutely without humor or insight and not well written.......2006-02-06

This book is NOT funny. It just isn't. Using the word "barf" a million times in a nonpun- not amusing. In fact the only time I laughed during the book was from a Rita Rudner quote. Rita Rudner- funny. The writing style is overly chatty dear diary. Annoying. I'm not interested in her dull life, only her pregnancy. I could get more insight talking to a random pregnant woman. It isn't even sweetly funny. I would love a good pregnancy book, I'm sick of the medical guides. But this isn't it. I welcome recommendations. PAss on this one. I fell asleep to it.
