Congratulations!

Here are things that were helpful during my pregnancy with #1. (Currently 23 weeks with #2 and everything is going great and yay, babies for everyone!)
- Expecting Better by Emily Oster
- Definitely not What to Expect, Girlfriend's Guide, or Your Pregnancy Week by Week
- Alphamom's pregnancy calendar
- Reading up a lot on the mechanics of labor so I knew what was happening and what was normal

Yeah, is there a cult called Mitt? Or was it someone from the primary -- Newt, Rick, Michelle?
