We too have a new baby in our family! (Not mine, but my sister's, and we are all loving on her!). I recently found this Eloise Wilkin Golden Book to add to our collection. Written in the days when mom went off to the hospital and grandma came to stay (in this case it's "Aunt Pat"), it's fun to see all the outdated supplies needed for the baby. While Wilkin's pictures are always so charming, there's some comical caricatures amongst the adults in this story! And interestingly, not a single picture of a pregnant looking mom!
