 The What to Expect When You're Expecting Pregnancy Organizer
ASIN: 1563058723
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: A great organizer!
Comments: It seems that some of the 1-star reviews here are meant for the book "What to Expect When You're Expecting," not this organizer. This organizer is meant to be entirely filled in by you; it does not contain pregnancy advice.
I am using the organizer now and it actually has sections to record all the little pregnancy details, many of which I wouldn't have thought of, but am pleased that I will have. There are spaces for such things as: questions for the next doctor visit, results of medical tests, sources of borrowed maternity clothing, name ideas, insurance information, shower gifts (and thank yous sent), first dates of new symptoms/events, and a detailed birth plan. There are many more sections, but that should give you an idea of how thorough it is.
The book itself has a sturdy cover, wire binding, and is small enough to fit in most purses. I keep everything I need in it and never have to worry about loosing things. Also, by the time my baby is born, I will have a complete record of my pregnancy.
My only complaint, is that the weekly diary section is a little small; there is a space to record thoughts each week, but it isn't enough room for me! I'm a diary type, though, and write a lot.

ASIN: 047134799X
Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: Helpful book
Comments: This is a pretty helpful book. You can keep track of your medical history, etc. in it. It helps out when you are taking your meds too- you just record them in there so that you remember when you took them and how much the dose was.

 The Everything Pregnancy Organizer (Everything)
ASIN: 1580623360
Customer's Rating: 2
Summary: OK if You Want A Lot of Information
Comments: I was dissapointed with this organizer when I received it. I was looking for more of a journal/ organizer type of book than an informational book. This would have been a good gift for my first pregnancy but I wanted more space this time around to record doctors appointments, tests, ultrasounds, etc... This book just doesn't have it.Wish I had stuck with the one I used for the first baby, What to Expect When You Are Expecting Pregnancy organizer. A lot more room to record your own info.
I would give this as a gift to a first time mom though.

 HealthCheques: Journal Babies--Your Personal Conception and Pregnancy Organizer
ASIN: 1891011049
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Jane Stephenson, RD, CDE/Co-author
Comments: Journal Babies: Your Personal Conception and Pregnancy Organizer is the perfect book for any woman who is trying to get pregnant, or who is already pregnant. My co-author (Machelle Seibel, MD) and I wrote this book after many years of researching the most popular questions woman have when they are thinking about getting pregnant or when they become pregnant. The first half of the book is written in an easy-to-read question and answer format. The second half of the book is a conception and pregnancy journal that allows you to record all of the details of your pregnancy from conception to delivery! Journal Babies is also a great gift for the mom-to-be.

 The Pregnancy Journal; A Day-To-Day Guide to a Healthy and Happy Pregnancy
ASIN: 0811811565
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: A wonderful way to experience the miracle growing within!
Comments: I gave this book as a gift to many of my expecting friends. It wasn't until I used for my own pregnancy that I realized how extraordinary it really is. I wish I would have had it during my first pregnancy because it provides detailed information about baby's day-to-day development as well as tips and tricks for surviving some of the strange little things that happen to your body during pregnancy. I loved the way the information was presented...with adorable graphics and places for me to jot down notes about how I was feeling and what I was thinking. This book is a keepsake I'll treasure for a lifetime and hope someday my son will read it and know what a joy it was 'growing' him! Everytime I see this book, I buy it...knowing the next new mom I give it to will enjoy pregnancy so much more with this journal by her side.

 Cradle the Thought : A Journal for the New Mother's First Year
ASIN: 0970394705
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: GREAT IDEA!
Comments: I really love this journal. Guided journals are the best! There are so many tiny details that I would have normally never thought to write about and they would be gone forever. Most baby books have the basics - 'first step', 'first smile' etc... but this book helps you remember the other really important events. For example: 'How is mom feeling?', 'How is baby sleeping?', 'How does baby like to be held?', 'What's babys favorite toy?', 'What noises is baby making?', 'What's babys favorite game?'. My son is 7 months old and when I read back to the earlier pages, I realize that I had already forgotten so much. Thank goodness for this book!
The only tiny, minor flaw that I feel this book has is that some of the questions repeat a bit too often. Some of the questions need to repeat because things change, but I feel that on several occasions I am just writing 'same as last time'. But I still highly recommend this book! It's a great shower gift...or buy it for yourself like I did. I accidentally misplaced my journal and couldn't find it for about 3 weeks and I felt l lost - it's amazing how much your baby can change in that amount of time. That shows how much I rely on this journal. Don't wait until it's too late, buy it now, you'll be eternally glad you did!

 Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year
ASIN: 044990928X
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: A beautiful book!
Comments: My partner bought this book for me just days before our son was born. I read it during the idyllic yet anxious days following his birth. I admit that although I had heard of Anne Lamott, I had never read any of her work. I soon found that I'd been missing out! I am totally in awe of her writing ability and her unflinching honesty about the joys and difficulties of being a new parent. Another reviewer called her writing "self absorbed," but I would strongly disagree with that judgment. I believe it is a gift to know yourself as well as Anne Lamott obviously knows herself. It takes a great deal of courage to bare your soul to the world without fear or embarrassment as Ms. Lamott does in this book. If more people approached life with this kind of self-knowledge and honesty, I think we would all be a lot happier with each other and ourselves. This is a beautiful book, not just for new parents but for all parents. I highly recommend it.

ASIN: 0971893802

Summary: Memories of a lifetime.
Comments: This journal is like no other. It allows the mother-to-be to get started on tracking her progress throughout pregnancy. From the baby's first movement, to the baby's final kick, it's a journey that will never be forgotten. This beautifully illustrated book captures all of the moments that usually disappear over time and will allow you to keep them for a lifetime.
Great job Laurie, I can't wait to package it up as a gift for friends.
