"First off, congrats on your little guy! In Canada, parental leave can be split between either parent, or even doubled-up on (ie. we can both take time, but use up the time we're given twice as fast).  My wife and I are still trying to…"

Pregnancy books for GeekDads/GeekMoms?

Hi all!I've been following the blog for a few years now, though it's only recently that my wife and I have started serious family planning.  I was wondering, does anyone have any good books on pregnancy recommendations for fathers or mothers-to-be that are of the geeky persuasion?  Non-geeky suggestions are also welcome :)See More
