BUTTERFLIES & HICCUPS ILLUSTRATES THE MIRACLE OF PREGNANCY WITH GRACE AND CHARM

Guided Pregnancy Journal Presents Though-Provoking Questions to Capture the Most Exciting Moments of Pregnancy

Fort Lauderdale, FL - (August, 2002) -- Butterflies & Hiccups is a guided pregnancy journal that reflects the soul-reaching emotions at one of the most significant times in a woman's life. Rather than provide blank pages, Butterflies & Hiccups guides mothers (and fathers) to-be through the journey of pregnancy by channeling both thought-provoking questions and inquiring about every day common pregnancy occurrences. Those who do not enjoy blank journaling will appreciate the structure Butterflies & Hiccups provides and will find how easy it is to preserve your memories. Years later moms will be thrilled to reminisce the captured recollections with their children.

This unique journal has already reached the endorsement of well-known editors. "Finally, a comprehensive journal for moms-to-be! Prepared in interview style, the questions are designed to elicit thought-provoking responses that will be treasured by parents and their children in the years to follow. What a great way to chronicle the childbearing experience!" said Elisa Ast All, editor-in-chief of Pregnancy magazine.

Rusty Rischer, editor of Chicken Soup for the Teachers Soul and Chicken Soup for the Preteen Soul added, Butterflies & Hiccups is a unique and inspiring pregnancy journal that is very well-written and should be extremely helpful to expecting moms-and dads-everywhere!"

Because each woman's pregnancy experience is different, Author Laurie Wing designed Butterflies & Hiccups for the mom-to-be to customize her journal to bring out the most important moments during pregnancy. For example, Laurie proposes that you write down how you felt the moment you found out you were pregnant; she asks how the father reacted to the news and how is he feeling each month; and wonders if you can still polish your toenails or tie your shoes during the eighth month of pregnancy.

Butterflies & Hiccups provides a section for practitioner visits, new symptoms, babys development, birth plan, holidays during pregnancy and fun ideas to pamper yourself. Plus it also covers special circumstances and high-risk pregnancies including a section for women on bed rest.

Artist Maya I. Johansen illustrates the miracle of pregnancy with such grace and charm that Butterflies & Hiccups becomes a beautiful keepsake that will be treasured forever!
