John and Rosalyn Muthiora present very practical thoughts and actions as a family prepares for pregnancy. They share insights starting from the first moment that the pregnancy is confirmed to the arrival of the new baby at home so that the nine months of waiting/preparing for the new child will be God-centered, and as pleasant as such a venture can be. They give practical suggestions about how to communicate with each other about the feelings and concerns when the couple know that they are expecting a baby; how the various stages of pregnancy effects both the couple and the extended family; the role of diet and exercise in the months of the new life's growth; factors the couple should know about when choosing a hospital for the delivery and the items that are needed in preparing for the new arrival; and how to make the first days at home comfortable for both the new baby and the new parents. The personal examples of their own experiences make this book a joy to read, and the concrete, realistic ideas will help the couple feel more confident in their role as soon-to-be parents. Throughout the book, John and Rosalyn call the couple to recognise their role as co-creators with God in this time of waiting for the new life to appear.
