"Changing Your World One Diaper at a Time" by Marla Taviano

Another good book to recommend.

This book was given to me by a close friend and sister a few months back. I picked it out from my shelf yesterday and finished it within a day.

In this book, the author hopes to bring readers through a "reflective journey through your baby's first year".

I enjoyed the book because it is not about theories theories and more theories but the whole book is a heart-felt, encouraging sharing by the author herself, who is a mother of three. She gives readers realistic expectations of motherhood...and helps mothers realise that they are not alone in most of the struggles which they face within the first year of motherhood.

She shares real testimonies of other mothers in order to relate to readers. That makes reading the book very relaxing and enjoyable.

I would recommend this book to all mothers-to-be.

As a mother-to-be, I know I am venturing into new ground. Many things I am facing and am going to face are unfamiliar, which explains the usual anxieties and fears. This book really encouraged me to look upon my new journey with hope in God and I was assured, while reading the book, that I am really not alone in most of my "unfamiliar struggles".

Thank God for mothers who have gone ahead of mothers-to-be and who are so willing to share their journeys with others.

2 Cor 1:3-4
3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
