Challenged, Julie did extensive research to answer that question and came up with a unique countdown guide/journal, which she self-published. Her self-published Countdown to My Birth now has over 20,000

copies in print. Most of the sales have been to infant shops, maternity shops, and hospital gift stores.

Julie lives with her husband and two children in Oregon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice memory, November 29, 2010

I had a Dutch calendar for my first child and now for my second one I had to get something from Amazon, because I couldn't find anything locally here in Honduras. It has the same comments and wisdoms as my Dutch one in slightly different order, I like it and I think it will be a wonderful memory for my kids when they grow old. I also use the old one now to compare the pregnancies.

I purchased this for myself and loved it! I wish I had purchased it earlier in my pregnancy though. It has a little piece of info everyday from the viewpoint of your little one! I have purchased many as gifts since I got mine. Only annoying thing--the calendar has to be dated by hand based on your due date or 1st day of your last period. Mine ended up with scribbles and rewrites on most of the pages due to numbering errors. It was worth it in the end though! Oh, no pictures in this calendar--just cute semi-informative text... :)

I have given this a present to first time moms several times, and it is always a hit! I actually have them contacting me asking where I got it to send to their friends. Great buy!
