5 comments about Hooray! My Baby Is on the Way: Keepsake Pregnancy Wall Calendar.

1. The "Hooray! My Baby Is on the Way Calendar" was a wonderful way for me as a first time mom to become attuned to what was going on with my baby week by week. The calendar also displays adoreable pictures of babies for you to ahhhh over in anticipation of your new arrival. The stickers (first ultrasound, picked babies name, first heartbeat heard, wore maternity clothes, and etc.) are a nice way to reflect on the memories of pregnancy. The calendar also displays helpful hints that guide you on what can be expected. These hints also can be dropped to signifant others as a suttle way of saying "I need a back rub!" The calendar is a great gift to yourself or to those that are expecting around you!!!



2. I just recieved this Calendar in the mail today and I love it! It has a page for each week with tips for each day of that week. The pictures are adorable too. I love that it has spots for pictures too. It also has suggested baby names A-Z on the bottom of each page. It's definitely worth the money. I just wish I got it sooner!



3. I seemed to have a harder time this pregnancy (my third) finding a "pregnancy calender". I was really excited to find this one. The pictures are very sweet and there was room to write in my thoughts, etc... It's a good buy if your into keepsakes and scrapping.



4. The calendar does have nice pictures and I like the tips and the names at the bottom. However, even though it is done week by week there is little room to write anything down. They have this huge quote that takes up 1/4 of the page. I think they could of reduced this and made the writing area larger.



5. I used these calendars for two different pregnancies and really enjoyed it. The weekly information is interesting and helpful, the stickers are great and the baby name suggestions are wonderful too. They really crammed alot of useful stuff into this calendar, plus really cute pictures of babies. The only drawback is writing in all of the dates and days of the week, but you'll have that flaw with any pregnancy calendar.

5 comments about BABY-EGG Pregnancy Countdown Calendar.

1. I gave this to my wife while expecting our second child. She absolutely loves it. She looks forward to flipping the calendar each week and seeing the approximate size of the baby. I wish I had found it for our first child.



2. All of my expecting friends are out of state and I don't get to see them as often as I would like. It's a great way to stay in touch and follow along with their new budding family. I look forward to flipping over the pages each week and knowing how far along they are. They love flipping their pages just to get a better sense of who is coming along in nine months. All in all - I recommend this product to the expecting mother, her friends and family. It's just a great way to stay in loop for this wonderful "mystery of life"



3. I purchased this calendar as part of a congratulations gift for a newly pregnant friend. She loved it. And so did all the moms that saw it. It is also a great item to help inform the husband as to what is going on! It is easy to read and has great pictures. Pictures would be great to show a sibling what's happening in Mommy's belly! I really like this product.



4. I bought this for my friend expecting her first child. We all look forward to turning the page over every week to see how big her baby is getting. Everyone who goes to her house checks out the baby's progress. I have never even heard of any other product showing the actual size of the baby. It's wonderful to know! This product has been a such a hit! I would also think it would be so helpful to older siblings too who don't quite understand what's happening to Mommy's belly. I will be buying more "eggs" for all of my friends and sisters when they become pregnant!



5. I thought there would be a little bit more to this. When I saw the picture of the author cutting out prototypes, I thought that it was just paper for the prototype and the actual book would be more that just paper on a ribbon. But this is what you will get. Might be nicer if it was made into a hard book for kids to actually be able to enjoy. I was afraid to let my daughter touch it for fear she would tear the $20 pieces of paper. Neat idea but needs to be developed more for me.

5 comments about The Countdown to Baby Advent Calendar.

1. My wife and I received this as a gift when we had our first baby. It is an amazing calandar that you open 1 door each week. 45 doors in all. The calandar has baby items/pictures on the outside of the door, and the inside contains information on what is happening to the mother, and what is happening to the baby as they both grow.

   The back of the calendar is like "baby's first book" where you write how your pregnancy is developing, and first choosen names, etc.

   This is an excellent way for husband & wife to know what's going on, and spend a few quality moments together each week.

   I definately recommend this calendar!




2. I received this as a gift from a friend when I shared the news of my 1st pregnancy. I have since, given the same gift to several of my friends. I even used it in my 2nd pregnancy (when you have less time to read books about your growing baby). Everyone who receives it LOVES it!!!



3. Not truly what I expected. However, I gave it as a gift and the recipient liked it. Be aware that it is an advent calendar - one opens the "doors" to the weeks as they pass and there is information within regarding baby and mom. There is limited space for mom to document pregnancy happenings.



4. I am enjoying the calendar but it wasn't what I expected. It has tons of windows to open and not a lot of room to write (except for on the back). Not what I was looking for but I'll still look forward to opening each window every week.



5. i was totally disappointed when i received this product. i do not think it was worth spending this amount on it. It doesn't have any writing space. i will never recommand this product to anyone. it was waste of money and i do not see myself using it.

4 comments about Baby Chronicles Pregnancy Planner: A Monthly Calendar that Begins Whenever You Do.

1. I absolutely loved this calendar! This calendar has blank calendar months so that you can create your own pregnancy calendar. Setting up your personalized calendar is easy and fun. I loved to keep track of the baby's growth, appointments, and my own progress not to mention counting down to the exciting Day. I would recommend this calendar to every Mom. Memories are forever. I thought that it is a fair price and ships fast to your home.



2. This is a great planner to track you pregnancy. The size is perfect to carry with you. The stickers are cute! Only complaint is that the squares a on the small side so you can't write that much.



3. THIS ITEM IS CUTE . . . BUT I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO PUT IN AS MUCH INFO AS POSSIBLE. THIS IS SMALL AND NOT WHAT I WANTED, I GOT A PLANNER INSTEAD AND RETURNED THIS ITEM.



4. I really don't know what to say about this other than how greta it is. It has all the stuff you need in one little book to keep track of all your baby related things. As a mom who has more than one pregnancies I have a hard time remembering what happened when and how I feel at such and such point. I love having this book and keeping track.

5 comments about Anne Geddes: My Pregnancy Wall Calendar (Anne Geddes).

1. I searched through many pregnancy calendars and found this one to be easy to use. The pictures are lovely and the stickers provided outlining significant events during the pregnancy were fun. There is a place to jot down information each month about your doctor's visit. There is space to also write-in any additional information you desire on the date. I highly recommend this product.



2. Got this for Christmas, and opened it right away to find beautiful photography of the sweetest babes! Has plenty of room to write specifics from each doctor visit and belly growth. Also, has stickers to mark special moments or cravings and such! This will be saved along with my baby's baby book!



3. It is very useful.
   You can record very important events.
   It bring you some advices.



4. Excellent product, lots of stickers to record special moments and pocket at back to store things too.



5. This is a beautifully illustrated calendar. I bought it for myself, but it would make a really nice gift for someone expecting. Lots of room to write information on important dates and stickers too!!

5 comments about The Essential Fertility Log: An Organizer and Record Keeper to Help You Get Pregnant.

1. This book is one of the few sources out there that has valuable fertility information & alternatives, plus a VERY useful monthly log. The log was key in helping me chart my cycle and plan accordingly. Plus, Schlosberg adds a perfect amount of humor to give us all a bit of comic relief during the process!!



2. If you temps are always above 96.9 and you are into journaling everything right down to what you eat and how you feel about it,then this is the book for you. For me it wasn't that useful b/c I am not into journaling and my low temps are in the 96 range. So, I can't use the BBT charts. Plus, the BBT charts don't give you much room for notes. I like my chart to contain all the info I want to record. I don't want to have to look back at the journal or calendar to see what was going on on a particular day. Instead I chart online at fertility friend. So, I am not going to use it at all. The main reason I bought it was the charts. I liked the idea of having them in this nifty book when for when I go to the doctor. At fertility friend I can print out the charts so that will be more organized then this book could achieve. I also bought "Taking Charge or Your Fertility", it has the same problems with the temps on the charts but it has so much indispensable information that I didn't care.



3. This is a wonderfull fertility log, plenty of space to write down the information you need without all the advice and stuff you don't. I keep my journal next to the bed to write down my morning temps and fertility monitor readings. Every few days I plug the information into my fertility charting software. I love not having to try and remember everything. If you have fertility problems like me you will be glad you have this on your bedside table. There are temping charts, calenders and about 9 months worth of daily info pages so you can keep track of your progress.



4. I bought this when I was going through IVF. It was helpful in keeping track of what was going on, what was coming up and all the meds!



5. The Essential Fertility Log: An Organizer and Record Keeper to Help You Get Pregnant
   
   This book was given to me by a friend who had gone through IVF numerous times and loved this book. I love it too! I'm not much of a journaler, but the prompts printed in the log really help me to keep track of my thoughts, feelings, and physical conditions. It also helps me, during my periodic appointments for acupuncture and fertility clinic, to keep track of what's happened over the last week, etc. that may have some bearing over that day's appointment/treatment. The acupuncturist and fertility center staff think this is a great tool also.

5 comments about My Life As a Baby: A First Year Calendar (Personal Organizer).

1. I received this book as a gift. I loved it. I'm halfway through finishing it and I decided to go ahead and write out the days of the month to complete his year. I just realized that they don't offer enough calender space to ad my son's birthday month. He was born on June 17th so I started with June and I should end with June. Well the book only had 12 calenders so it ends with May! Such a disappointment. I almost want to buy a new different book so I can have room for the last month.



2. It really is a great baby book. I am happy with it. The way the pages are written are humorous but adds the right amount of sentiment. It will be a book that my baby will treasure when she is older.



3. It has stickers for milestones and you can put a picture on every month. It also has an area to record each months weight and height. I love the little pictures.
   It also makes it easy for my husband to write things, he isn't really into the "baby book" so this is perfect for him. It's exactly what is stated...a wall calendar, so he can make everything short and sweet.



4. The calendar is very cute and colorful and has a place to put a picture of baby and info about baby each month. I would have liked the calendar to be a bit bigger (its not the size of a full size calendar) and more stickers. It comes with 36 stickers, and I'm afraid I'm going to use all of them in the first 4 months!



5. I think this calendar is really cute. It isn't very big and doesn't require you to put a ton of information on it which is nice as I am not very good at keeping that sort of information (hence using a calendar instead of a true "baby book"). The only bizarre thing is that it has a sticker for 1st birthday but only has 12 months so if you child is born in August, then the calendar ends in July and you never would use that 1st birthday sticker.

5 comments about Countdown to My Birth: A day by day account from your baby's point of view.

1. Some of you may think that this concept of a daily pregnancy calendar 'written' from the baby's point of view sounds familiar. That's because "Countdown to My Birth" is the newest version of Countdown to a Miracle: The Making of Me (2nd ed) by Julie B. Carr. While the cover is different, the interior concept is still the same - each day your baby describes what is happening from conception to birth, complete with a due date countdown, a place to put today's date, room for notes, and bonus stickers to mark special 'firsts' - first kick, first hiccup, etc. The stand-up, spiral bound format is also the same.
   
   If you loved 'Countdown to a Miracle', you'll love this new version!

2. This calender is so much fun. What a way to get daddy involved. We flip each page every morning and read what each day says. It gives you a great idea of what is happening inside of you each day of your pregnancy. It fun facts. My husband loves it. I plan on buying this calender for all future friends who get pregnant. It's worth it. This calender is probably most fun for first time pregnancies.



3. I purchased one calendar for myself and one for my girlfriend who is currently pregnant. It's cute, especially for first time mothers. I haven't used mine yet, but I plan to once I get pregnant :)



4. Easy way to include hubby in daily baby growth in utero without getting out the heavy hitting books. Simply flip the calendar daily (after filling it out for your due date) and it tells you everything from being the size of a pea to suggesting eating finger foods 'cause I'm growing fingers today...
   
   We cherished ours and still have it as part of our baby collection. I highly recommend it as a congrats on your pregnancy book.



5. Countdown to My Birth is a very exciting way to keep up with the development of your child. There are all kinds of interesting phases that take place throughout the pregnancy and this calendar was a fun way for my wife and I to wake up each morning and "connect" with our child. We never read ahead and just looked forward to each new day when we could flip the date and see what our baby was going to "say." There is also a place to take "notes" on events that occurred each day as well as stickers with major marking points in the pregnancy (Hurray! You know I'm here, You hear my heartbeat, You see me in an ultrasound, etc.) I think what I really like about this is that it makes me (the father) feel more involved in the pregnancy and keeps me really excited to see my first child. I also think this will be a wonderful gift for my son when he is older so he can read what his mother and I were thinking/feeling during each stage of the pregnancy. I would buy it again.
