[bksvol-discuss] Re: what to expect when you're expecting

Hi, Grace. When I had my daughter 14 years ago, I found a book by Penelope Leach to be very helpful. NLS has it. I think it's called the First Six Months. What I remember most about it was her gentle assurance that all parents make mistakes and that children can thrive even as we're learning about being good parents. I'd read a lot of books about pregnancy and child development. I didn't realize that I needed to learn a little about mom development too. (smile) There I was with the tiny baby who looked to me for everything and counted on me to do the right thing. Reading that book helped me to relax with my new baby and let my heart open up to love her fully without being so unsure of myself. If you don't have access to NLS or can't use talking books, I'll scan the book next month if you want to read it. I'm sure I can find it on Amazon. Please let me know if you want/need me to scan the book. Most of all, may God bless your family during this wonderful time. (smile)
