One of my good friends just found out that she's going to have a baby, yay! She's 41 and after her husband's recent vasectomy reversal, they are thrilled about the baby!

Are there any good books you would recommend for an older mom? She has a 10 year old, and he has 3 children from a previous marriage (ages 12-21), so they're not new to parenting...just in need of a refresher. :)

Thanks!

Naturally! It's already on order...it's crazy, I've bought EIGHT for pregnant friends since I discovered this book!

They all love it and are complete addicts themselves. Go figure!

I really enjoyed "Your Over-35 Week-by-Week Pregnancy Guide" by M. Kelly Shanahan.
