What Tiffany is reading...

I am reading all kinds of books and have read many informative articles at www.babycenter.com. But, here are a couple of books that stand out right now.

"What To Expect When You Are Expecting" by Murkoff, Eisenberg & Hathaway. This book is the most recommended book on pregnancy out there. When we first announced our news, everyone asked if I had this book yet. It's an informative guide which details the forthcoming changes you can expect to experience month by month. Caution: You just can't read this book and worry about everything it mentions though! They inform you of every possible complication and problem out there. It's important to be informed, but I can see how it could be easy to get worried if you focus on every possible pregnancy complicaton known to man. And, furthermore - as everyone says - every woman is different and pregnancy is different. Each experience is unique!

"Prayers For The Mother To Be" by Angela Thomas. This book is a collection of prayers topically arranged according to the different phases, thoughts, feelings and concerns mothers-to-be may have regarding pregnancy. Here's a quote by the author from the introduction, "I have come to believe that "the glow" of a pregnant woman comes entirely from the presence of God. God does not begin the work of creating and then leave. I believe that he remains and dwells in the heart, soul, and body of a woman with an extra measure of His presence. Every woman is visited by the Creator God as He quietly performs the miracle of life. And like the city on a hill, the light of the Father cannot be hidden." This brings to mind the awesomeness of God's creative power as expressed in Psalm 139, particularly in verse 13, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb."
