Baby Books

I have already read a lot of books about pregnancy and labor/delivery because of my love for midwifery. Now I am reading even more, including books about babies too. I just read "the amazing newborn" and it was so interesting! I'm glad I got to read it before the baby is born, as it talks about the amazing things that a newborn can do...even within the first few hours of birth. Now I'm reading "the happiest baby on the block". I have heard things about the book and am curious to see what the big fuss is about. Of course I have no idea what having a new baby is really like, and of course I am SURE that our baby is going to be perfect and never cry or have a hard time with anything...but I still want to be prepared =) I am also reading several week by week types of books about the baby and me and how we are growing etc. And to add to it I am also studying for my own childbirth educators practice and training...so am learning a lot about the process and how birth is normal etc...
My FAVORITE birthing book is "birthing from within" by Pam England. I'm reading it now for the second time to help me with my own labor. I'm so overwhelmed with books and info, but at least it keeps me busy.
