The Simplest Baby Book in the World: The Illustrated, Grab-and-Do Guide for a Healthy, Happy Baby https://a.co/d/d4aBna4
First of all, know that every baby is different and every pregnancy is different. Best you can do is learn patterns, pay attention and respond accordingly. But this book helped me out with some good advice in an easy to read package. Good look!
Thanks! In contrast to all the other great recommendations, which seem like a bit more in the way of heavy reading, this looks like it'd be a good one to pick at here and there when we have a few minutes to kill.
I also appreciate your words of advice.
That's EXACTLY what it was for me, and about the amount of tome I had while my wife was pregnant. As to the advice... my child was 6 weeks premature, caught a terrible disease, stopped breathing and was in the PICU 48 hours after leaving the NICU. Today, they are a happy healthy 6 month old. You do what you can, when you can, how you can. Flexibility and preparedness helps more than having a plan you try to follow.
Oh god, that's terrifying. My wife's best friend recently went through something very similar. I actually had to check your comment history to make sure you weren't her husband as their situation was quite similar right down to the timeline. That's one of my biggest fears, especially as this is technically a "geriatric pregnancy" as my wife is over 35 and we had a tough time conceiving. We actually gave up on actively trying and made peace with it being just the two of us and then out of nowhere... Pregnant. As such, we're being super cautious about giving that little embryo the best chance possible.
I'm really glad it's worked out for you though - enjoy the new baby!
Funny enough, we were in a similar boat. Geriatric pregnancy, bought Clomid, but then our little Joy came before my wife could start taking it. The sleep deprivation is rough, but after all the fighting we did, all 3 of us, to get my kid here and healthy, we're gonna enjoy it!
