Favorite "I'm having a baby" books?

What were your favorite books? I've read that 'happiest baby on the block' and 'Mayo clinic guide to a healthy pregnancy' are good. It also looks like 'the expectant father' gets good reviews on Amazon. What were your favorites for you/DH?

I just signed up for the emails from babble.com . I liked "Panic Free Pregnancy" and "Exercising Through Your Pregnancy" for their level advice. I did not like reading other pregnancy books - I moved on pretty quickly to birth books and baby books. DH didn't like books; I forwarded the babble emails to him and that was enough.

I liked the Mayo Clinic Guide and Your Pregnancy Week by Week. I know that lots of people love the Girlfriend's guide to Pregnancy for its humor, but the chapter on exercise pissed me off so much that I didn't pick it up again.

Mayo Clinic Guide was fine, but kind of dry. I stopped reading it somewhere in the second trimester when the updates got kind of boring, like "your baby is gaining MORE weight this week!"

Honestly, the Babycenter emails have probably been what I read the most consistently.
