Being pregnant and having a baby are two occasions that involve many details and require a lot of planning. The Essential Pregnancy Organizer: 40+ Weeks and the Essential Baby Organizer: Birth to One Year are here to help.


Begin at conception with the Essential Pregnancy Organizer. Tabs provide quick access to checklists, forms, and questionnaires that help manage the details of pregnancy. Features include a detailed timeline and pregnancy calendar, interview questions for obstetricians, midwives, pediatricians, nannies, and day care centers, questions to formulate a birth plan, a practical baby shopping list for parents, tips on saving time around the house, birth coach's preparations and contact lists, feeding and diapering records, helpful resources, a pocket for paperwork or keepsakes, and so much more!


After the baby is born, move on to the Essential Baby Organizer. There are plenty of pages to track baby's feeding, sleeping, and diapering patterns, along with useful benchmarks for what to expect as baby grows. Journal pages are sprinkled throughout the organizer, so even the busiest parents will capture every detail of infancy, including baby's exciting firsts.

On September 26, 2007, at 20 months old, Chelsea was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). She also happens to have something extra in the way of chromosomes ... a little thing called Down syndrome. Chelsea has completed four rounds of chemotherapy and is currently receiving her fifth round. AML is a very aggressive cancer, requiring a three to five week stay in the hospital during each round of chemotherapy. This is necessary to give her bone marrow time to recover from the chemotherapy drugs, otherwise her body would be very fragile and she would likely suffer from life threatening infections that would cause little or no harm to those of us with strong immune systems. Between treatments, Chelsea only gets one to two weeks at home before she has to return to the hospital. Despite all the dangerous and sickening drugs that have been pumped into Chelsea's little body, she has remained happy, spunky and as loving as ever.
