Baby Magazines

It's kind of weird, there are tons of magazines out there on the news stand for getting married, bride to be, getting the right dress and wedding planning and about a zillion Bridal Expos but there aren't that many for babies or expectant moms. Now let me clarify. There are plenty for family, raising a family, parenting and school age kids but none really for pregnancy and to-be-moms other than Fit Pregnancy and some private publications. Besides that, there are about 3 Baby Expos per year. 2 of them I am going to in November (my birthday present to myself since they fall on that weekend) and 1 in January- problem being the baby will already be here by the time the one in January rolls around. Interesting that not more focus would be put on bringing life into the world than getting married. I do have to be thankful that my OBGyn provides all of the private publications for free in his office and I get to pick up new copies each month when I go in for my checkup. Side Note: L. I will send them up to you when I am done with them! ;) It almost wants to make me crusade for more Mom-To-Be publications that are accessible to the general public. I mean think about it..... everyone HAS a Mother, everybody WAS born, not everybody gets married. Moms-To-Be unite! Time to rally for the information we need and the tools and resources necessary during 9 crucial months (give or take the few months before and after).
