But if her friend is a first time mom -- her brain is all about baby and these things are all she can think about! (Your point is well taken - maybe get her a pregnancy massage when she's about 7 months preggers...she'll need it)
If its for a gift let me add: the FIRST book I listed is the first book everyone gets -- so she likely already has it.
The second book is a little less known. I loved it since there was a little something to catch up on each week as compared to the monthly info in the other. One of my favorite parts was the 2nd book always compared the size of the baby to real life things: usually food. It was a real way to understand and it made grocery shopping more fun!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
