I was given this book as a gift. I'm expecting our first baby in May and have been reading like crazy to prepare. This book covers in detail what a lot of the other books skip or just talk a little about. The photos are awesome and so helpful. I made my husband read it, too. I feel a lot more prepared now. I'm so glad that I got this and highly recommend it to anyone who is expecting their first baby. I think it will really help a lot during those sleepless nights to come!
