Product Description
The nation's only week-by-week pregnancy guide in an advent-calendar format. Each week, the expectant mother opens one of 40 doors to discover what's happening with herself and her baby. Along the way, she finds out how her baby is growing and developing and also what to expect in her own physical and emotional changes. Each of the advent calendar's "doors" is illustrated with a whimsical baby-related item. The changing profiles of mother and baby appear once a month. Over 300 facts and figures about a normal pregnancy are included, all doctor-approved. The chairman of the OB/Gyn Department at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire edited the calendar. The calendar provides an entertaining way to mark off the 40 weeks of a normal pregnancy, making the long wait for a baby's arrival a lot more fun! At a glance, the mother-to-be can tell how far along she is in her pregnancy by seeing how many more doors to open until the due date. As an added benefit, the back of the calendar has an expectant mother's journal to record important dates, memories and milestones. This unique pregnancy guide is ideal for first-time moms or experienced mothers who want to involve their families in welcoming their new addition. It also makes a delightful gift for newly pregnant friends or co-workers. The calendar is designed to hang on a wall or refrigerator and measures 13 1/2 x 21" opened.

Summary: Lots of windows! 2006-02-24
Comment: I am enjoying the calendar but it wasn't what I expected. It has tons of windows to open and not a lot of room to write (except for on the back). Not what I was looking for but I'll still look forward to opening each window every week.

Summary: Baby Advent calendar 2005-10-18
Comment: Not truly what I expected. However, I gave it as a gift and the recipient liked it. Be aware that it is an advent calendar - one opens the "doors" to the weeks as they pass and there is information within regarding baby and mom. There is limited space for mom to document pregnancy happenings.

Summary: THE BEST gift to give an expectant mother!!! 2004-12-10
Comment: I received this as a gift from a friend when I shared the news of my 1st pregnancy. I have since, given the same gift to several of my friends. I even used it in my 2nd pregnancy (when you have less time to read books about your growing baby). Everyone who receives it LOVES it!!!

Summary: an Excellent Calendar! 2003-06-05
Comment: My wife and I received this as a gift when we had our first baby. It is an amazing calandar that you open 1 door each week. 45 doors in all. The calandar has baby items/pictures on the outside of the door, and the inside contains information on what is happening to the mother, and what is happening to the baby as they both grow. The back of the calendar is like "baby's first book" where you write how your pregnancy is developing, and first choosen names, etc. This is an excellent way for husband & wife to know what's going on, and spend a few quality moments together each week. I definately recommend this calendar!
