My 2nd child is due in November, and I have a 5 year old DD - we haven't told her about the new baby yet. Does anyone have any recommendations for good books on the subject of a new baby arriving? To introduce her to the idea.

Thanks!

have a look at There's a House inside my Mummy...it's really lovely though probably better for a 3 year old. Is she still into picture books? The other one my 5 year old likes is Topsy and Iim and the New Baby.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
