Books for Expecting and New Parents

These books provide valuable information on how to prepare your relationship for bringing a baby (or two or three) into the home.  Most of us spend lots of time preparing for the birth of our babies – birth plans, feeding, sleeping, and all the latest and greatest gadgets – however, we do not put in the same time to prepare our relationships for all the changes that occur.  These books provide insights into those challenges along with practical strategies to set your family up for a more solid foundation.
