Elise and I went to Half Price Books this afternoon. I was set on finding Pregnancy For Dummies. It wasn’t there. Elise had a few other books in mind.
Elise found a few books that we need to read. We bought:
What To Eat When You’re Expecting
The Girlfriends’ Guide to Pregnancy
The Expectant Father
I found and purchased this instructional novel:
Mötley Crüe’s The Dirt.
The Girlfriends’ Guide to Pregnancy was a fun read — light, quick, but good for covering the basics before you wade into some of the heftier tomes like What to Expect When You’re Expecting or any of the Sears & Sears stuff.
I’d also highly recommend Anne Lamott’s Operating Instructions, the best nonfiction account of parenting ever (“I thought it would be more like getting a cat”).
