This is a book that was recommended to me by a few moms while I was pregnant with Bronson. I didn't start using the tips in it until he was 3-4 months old, so it took him a while to get in a routine. But once he was in a normal routine, it made a huge difference in my days and nights. He became a very good sleeper during his pre-toddler and toddler months. This book gives information on sleeping, eating, awake time, and other advice for newborns and young infants. I just reread this book a couple months ago, and have been following some of the basic tips since the early weeks after James was born. He is a much better sleeper than Bronson and has really benefited from being on a daily routine. This book did not have step by step instructions like I had longed for in those early days with Bronson, but you can't give specific instructions to all parents when every baby and parent is different. This book was written by the same authors that wrote "Growing Kids God's Way", which is a Christian ministry and curriculum for parents. I have wanted to go through the GKGW series as well.

This is a series Luke kept encouraging me to read. I had a hard time getting through the first one, although I thought it was good. This one I really enjoyed and got through it much faster. It was more of a fantasy story than a science fiction read. I loved the symbolism in it to represent Christ and Satan and angels. I know that some of it was a little above my head, but I liked Lewis' perspective on how other worlds/planets with life could potentially exist. The story is about a man from earth who goes to a new world that has just begun.
The only other books I have read in the past few months have been nursing textbooks, which I'm sure you do not want to hear about. The next ones I'm looking forward to pouring myself into are:
by Beth Moore
There is a group of women that I am meeting with weekly to study the book of Daniel. I am looking forward to seeing what the Lord is planning to teach me through this study. I am hoping I'll be able to keep up with the homework. There is also a group of guys (husbands) that are also going to do this study separately. It will be fun to go through a study alongside Luke.
by Kate Atkinson
The squadron book club is reading this one this month. It sounds like a very interesting read. I don't think I'll be able to read it in just a couple weeks time with all of my schoolwork, but it will be fun to read it eventually. The discussion at book club is always fun.
So what are you reading?
