I also had this book.
I ordered the same, and also ordered The Happiest Baby on the Block, by Dr. Harvey Karp. He also has a Happiest Toddler book (either just out or coming out) that I would like to get as well. I haven't read either book yet, since I'm still waiting on them to be delivered, but thought I'd pass on my suggestion.
Oh, and if you're into podcasts, try Mommy's Milk and More. You can find it on www.pregtastic.com (another great one for during pregnancy) or on itunes. I love the concept of podcasts, because I get to listen while doing chores around the house, so it's kind of the best of both worlds. If it's a particularly informative episode, I'll sit down on the couch with a notebook and take notes. I already have a lot of great information written down that I can consult at other points in my pregnancy and regarding early days and months with a baby.
I recommend Your Baby's First Year Week By Week.

You know, I was so overwhelmed by all the choices that I went with a recommendation from a friend to sign up at americanbaby.com and babycenter.com and got all my information from their weekly emailed newsletters!
I also paid for a subscription to American Baby and Parents Magazine and loved them, I still get them both!

I also recommend The Baby Book by Dr. Sears. ?It's not something you'll sit down and read cover to cover one afternoon. But it's a great reference guide for milestones, medicine dosages, and things like that. ??
