Countdown to My Birth: A Day by Day Account from Your Baby's Point of View »

When Julie B. Carr was pregnant, her mother asked her, "What's happening to your baby today?"

Challenged, Julie did extensive research to answer that question and came up with a unique countdown guide/journal, which she self-published. Her self-published Countdown to My Birth now has over 20,000

copies in print. Most of the sales have been to infant shops, maternity shops, and hospital gift stores.

Julie lives with her husband and two children in Oregon.

This day by day account of pregnancy will help expecting mothers discover captivating facts like when your baby is the length and weight of a hot dog roll, when the heart begins to beat, when their eyes open and they begin to look around, and 277 additional daily developmental facts beginning with "making me" and concluding with the "arrival."

This book will warm a mom's heart and soul. It's the making of a miracle and a keepsake forever Jodie Lynn, syndicated family columnist for Parent to Parent.
