Read Read Read Read Read Read

Mornings I try to cram in news before work. During the day I am generally reading contracts, law, and other lawyerly things. After work I try to squeeze in a little course reading (IFR), and then it's on to the BABY BOOKS. There just isn't enough time. I understand that after the birth I will have a lot more time for pleasure reading. Here's part of what I am currently trying to digest:

The Birth Partner
On Becoming Baby Wise
What to Expect When You're Expecting
HypnoBirthing
Instrument Procedures Handbook
Instrument Pilot
Wall Street Journal
New York Times
The Economist
Kiplinger
Wired


Karin has read many more birthing and baby books than I have. Some of that had to do with her training. She did work on a maternity ward during residency.

Tonight is our last session with our HypnoBirthing teacher. From now on, it's just us and our doula, into the home stretch. Actually, I think we are already in the home stretch; Karin asked me this morning to make sure all the batteries are charged in our various devices. Apparently Braxton-Hicks was rather front and center last night.

  1. Instead of reading all these baby books, it would save you so much precious just to get all advice from the family....
