Oh Baby: Belly Reads

With our bundle of joy arriving in June, I thought I would start a new series on my blog dedicated to things baby appropriately title Oh Baby '  I plan to talk about baby books, nursery inspiration, artwork and how I'm dressing my bump and much more. I thought it would be a fun way to share whats on my mind with everyone, and answer a some email questions I receive from readers. Don't worry this blog is not turning into a baby blog! lol - We have a long list of projects on our DIY list to get completed before our little Junebug arrives :) 


First up I wanted to start with some pregnancy books I've been having so much fun reading! One of my best friends recently gave birth to a sweet little boy a few months ago and was thrilled when I shared with her our great news. Well a few weeks ago when I was visiting her, she sent me home with 5 baby books! I was beyond thrilled and wowed by her generosity. Here's my stack of books {  from top to bottom: Hot Mama, Belly Laughs, Baby Names, Eating Well When Your Expecting, What to Expect When Your Expecting & Your Pregnancy Week By Week




 I quickly read Hot Mamma and Belly Laughs both cute books to read if your expecting or have family or friend who is. Both books will put a smile on your face! 




But of course my favorite books are: Baby Names, your Pregnancy Week By Week and the Eating Well Book. The Eating Well book is keeping me in check, of course occasionally I hear Reese's Pieces begging for me to buy them while in the check out line! A few days after I received lots of good belly reads, one of my girlfriends gave me another baby book! This book is all about soothing a cry baby and helping them sleep longer. I've been reading this book everyday and find it really interesting and like the concepts! 




What books did you like reading while pregnant or if your are pregnant?  If you are pregnant what are your current favorite reads? 


Any other fun books I should check out? Let me know!

  7. Thanks for the suggestions! I read a little bit of the girlfriend's guide to pregnancy, given to me by a friend, but I never really got into it. I think the tone bothered me or something...

    I've heard great things about some of the books you've listed, though, and about the happiest baby on the block!

  8. My sister is expecting in May, and had the Jenny McCarthy book laying around her house the other weekend. I was need a break after painting the nursery, and was literally laughing out loud! I even snorted few times. That book is hilarious even for us non-pregger people :)

  9. Congratulations! I can't say that I read any books at all. I took cues from my parents and especially my grandmother.

  10. Since there is a 16 year gap between my oldest and my soon to arrive baby, I am really rusty and a little overwhelmed with some of the books out there. I do have a weekly pregnancy book. I need to get some books on foods. I actually have heard lots of great things about "The Happiest Baby on the Block" I will pick that one up tomorrow. I picked out names long before I was even pregnant so I am now totally focused on decor.
