What To Expect: Pregnancy & Parenting Guide Book GIVEAWAY

It's positive -- you're pregnant!
Recording first year milestones.
Getting ready for the 'terrible two'.

Are you in any of the situations mentioned above? Do you know people who are?  
I believe I have the perfect online resource site and guide books for you!
During my first and second pregnancies, I only had two guide books I referred to, and the first one I got was What To Expect When You're Expecting.  My husband bought the book for me a few weeks after I tested 'positive'.  The book has been my weekly companion throughout my pregnancy.

At my regular visits to my OB-Gyne, I almost always knew and anticipated what the doctor will advise me.  True enough, after consultations with my doctor, everything I've read has been validated.  This guide book gave me a lot of confidence and security during my most delicate months.  I instantly recommended WTE to all my friends who are going through this beautiful road to parenthood. 

Look at my books below, an earlier edition -- bought in May 2003. I gave birth in November of the same year.  And after my boy turned one, I also added to my collection 'WTE The Toddler Years' which covers the 13th to 36th months of a child.  I read through them again with my second.

"Author Heidi Murkoff created 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' during her first pregnancy, when she couldn’t find answers to her questions. She was determined to write a guide that would help other expectant parents sleep better at night.  
Considered as the “pregnancy bible,” this bestseller is now in its all-new fourth edition, which according to USA Today, is read by 93% of women who read a pregnancy book. Other titles in the series include 'Eating Well When You’re Expecting', 'What to Expect the First Year', 'What to Expect Before You’re Expecting', and the newest 'What to Expect the Second Year' -- a must-have guide for parents of toddlers.  2005 saw the launch of WhatToExpect.com — the interactive, state-of-the-internet companion to the WTE books, serving a large community of parents online." - from www.whattoexpect.com
The great news for new and first-time parents is that WTE online site WhatToExpect.com can help you 24/7 for any of your concerns, from Preconception, Pregnancy, First Year or Toddler years of your child.

The site is very user-friendly with really nice photos too.  You can choose which stage you are from the tabs on top, and search topics that are relevant to your needs.


The WTE online community is the perfect compliment to the book series, making a woman's entry to motherhood a lot easier.


The books' generous tips and expert advise made my experience more memorable and comfortable as it guided me through the good and bad episodes of those important 9 months, twice!  So as an early Christmas present, I'm hosting a book giveaway!!!
