I’m enjoying all of the suggestions, as we’re expecting #3 as well!This won’t be for everyone, but my personal favourite is “Our Water Baby” by Amy MacLean and Jan Nesbitt. Perfect for us with planned home water births, and beautifully illustrated.

What a wonderful (and busy) time this must be for your family. We read several books to the older girls to prepare for each subsequent child. One of our favorites is The New Baby in the First Experiences series by Anne Civardi and Stephen Cartwright. https://www.amazon.com/Usborne-First-Experiences-New-Baby/dp/0794510035/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235881170&sr=8-3There is a whole volume of different first experiences topics in this combined volume which the kids love, although you can buy individual titles too. It's called "The Usborne Book of First Experiences"https://www.amazon.com/First-Experiences-Usborne/dp/0746052960/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235881906&sr=1-2Great illustrations (art, not photos) and there is a little duck hidden on every double page so the kids get to search for it!The Usborne books are really good in general. We really like them.

Not sure what we’ll do this time… :)
