The Baby Countdown Book [Paperback]

Tracy Guth Spangler (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 15, 2004

From the moment the pregnancy test reads positive, everything in a pregnant woman's life involves counting down to the big day. This fully illustrated, gently humorous kit takes expectant parents from the first days of pregnancy to the final moment. Embedded in the front cover is a detachable, reusable digital clock that counts years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds backward to 0:00, plus batteries and instructions on using the clock. The 64page book fills parents in on all the prep work to be done before the baby arrives, including shopping for maternity clothes, baby-proofing the house, the mother-to-be's cravings, even what to pack for that life-altering trip to the hospital.

This review is from: The Baby Countdown Book and Clock: A Day-by-Day, Hour-by-Hour, Minute-by-Minute Guide to Getting Ready for the Big Event (Hardcover)

I purchased this book for a friend who is having her first baby and she loves it! I checked it out before I gave it to her and I will want one when I have my second baby. It gives great advice from how, what and when the baby is developing in the womb to how to pack your hospital bag. And the clock is perfect and it comes with easy instructions on how to use it.

I ordered this book by suggestion of my doctor. She recently had her first baby and thought that my husband and I would enjoy reading this together. We are still waiting... It has not arrived. I have requested a refund from the seller but he says it already shipped. I haven't seen it. Good luck with the phantom book.
