What parenting type books are you reading?

I have the What to Expect the First year but I suck at reading it each week.  I also picked up some bfing and sleeping books but DS turned out to be an easy baby (pure luck) and I never read them.

But sometime I wonder if I'm going to miss something I should be doing because I'm pretty well very relaxed with things...DS has been great about letting us know how much he wants to eat and sleep, and when, etc.

I stopped reading books when I was 20 weeks pregnant, if I have a question I google it or ask on here, but don't follow the books.

I feel it takes stress off me, because I am not worried if she is preforming enough etc.

The only thing I read are the pamphlets I got from one of my dr. visits. It has a pamphlet for what to expect each month, so I keep up on those.  I also get Parents magazine, but I hardly ever even look at it.  Other than that, I just get on here and ask my ladies, they always give me the best advise, information!

Tossed out all the books long long ago.  I am a fly by the seat of my pants (and occasional googling) kind of gal

I am currently reading  And Baby Makes Three: The Six-Step Plan for Preserving Marital Intimacy and Rekindling Romance After Baby Arrives.

Sounds ultra cheesy....but its actually pretty good. I read some to DH and he has started reading it too. We havent been having problems, but I just wanted something to help make sure our relationship stayed strong. We struggle to find enough time together.

 I think a lot of couples could really benefit from it...especially when I read the DH Vent posts!
