Books You're Getting to Prepare??

I'm not talking about pregnancy books - being 6 months along I already have those. Chat Icon But what books are people getting/reading to prepare for the actual baby? I've heard of that What to Expect for Baby's First Year...anyone like that one? Any others people like or are reading?

Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child has been recommended to me by all my friends so I'm going to pick that up soon.

By far the best book I read in preparation was "The Happiest Baby on the Block"

It really helps with those first 3 months

We had a bunch, but the most helpful to us was Baby411.

My cousin sent me that one, but I haven't read it yet. And my SIL gave me some GIANT (and therefore overwhelming) book by Dr. Sears called The Baby Book.

Happiest Baby on the Block is a must have. A friend of mine swears by the 5 S technique.

I also heard good things about the following:

The Baby Book
Baby 411

My girlfriend got me this DVD for my shower.
I also have Coming Home with your Newborn which I borrowed from another friend.
