Countdown to a Miracle: The Making of Me [Spiral-bound]

Julie B. Carr (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 20, 1999

Countdown to a Miracle: The Making of Me is a daily narrative detailing the miracle of creation from conception to birth. Unlike other pregnancy books, it is written from the child's point of view and focuses on the child-not the mother-and the daily changes taking place as your child grows from a single cell into a miniature human being.

Features include a stand-up easel for easy viewing, a fill-in box for today's date, and a countdown each day until two weeks past your due date.

A must-have for every mom-to-be!

From the Author

I wrote this book shortly after the birth of my first son to fill what I perceived as a void in the pregnancy book market. During my pregnancy, I got tired of reading pregnancy book after pregnancy book that focused on the symptoms of the mother-to-be, but did not spend a lot of time discussing the development of my baby. Also, many books were frightening in their detail of what could go wrong during the pregnancy.

Wanting to concentrate more on my growing baby than on my growing pains, I developed this daily flipbook chronicling the development of a child from conception to birth. Each page is designed to be read one day at a time. If you want to concentrate more on your baby's development, this is the book for you.

This book is great for any new mom. I have purchased it for both of my girlfriends the minute the found out they were pregnant. It is a great starter book, and it lets you check your babies development day by day. FANTASTIC!

5.0 out of 5 stars Expectant Grandparents, February 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Countdown to a Miracle: The Making of Me (Spiral-bound)

As expectant grandparents of two, one being born in March and one in July, we are thoroughly enjoying Countdown to a Miracle. Following along in two books, we are able to watch the fascinating daily development of each baby. Although we're 3,000 miles away, the book has helped us feel more connected. It's as though the babies are talking to us. AMAZING!

When I ordered this, it wasn't what I had expected but I enjoyed it completely. It was great to see what developments your child was making daily and gave me a lot of useful information I may not have known about. I'm getting a copy for my best friend who just found out she was pregnant. She'll love it!
