We have recently begun to realize that in a few short weeks, we are going to find ourselves at home with a baby, and neither of us has a clue what to do.
Tonight, we are signed up to take a newborn care class, at the same place we're having our childbirth prep class (which is scheduled for October 6th and 7th, a two-day intensive) and a breastfeeding class. But we also went to the library last weekend and took out a few books on babies - Dr. Sears, the What to Expect series, and Armin Brott's New Father book. The first two are encyclopedic and daunting.
Anyone have recommendations?

Hey Guys- We found the Dr. Sears book the most helpful... both the pregnancy and the baby book. I hear good things about the birth book as well. It is an overwhelming read but it's more of a reference than a novel. Mostly I find it good common sense and it always seemed in tune with my intuition about parenting. Ultimately, even though we are academics and readers by nature- we have mostly tossed the books aside- referencing them as needed.
Can't wait to see more pictures!
