Re: Pregnancy Reading
I liked good old What to Expect When You're Expecting. I didn't read it cover to cover, but more as a reference point week to week.
Also, the WTE app is cool for checking your progress, aka what fruit/veggie you are that week.
I really enjoyed Ina May's Guide to Childbirth: http://www.amazon.com/Ina-Mays-Guide-Childbirth-Gaskin/dp/0553381156.
It's totally hippie granola (which I am not), but there were parts of it that I found to be really helpful and calming. The focus is on the fact that our bodies were made to birth babies, and you CAN do it.

I have this at the top of my Netflix queue currently.
I am liking WTE for general info. I read it every few weeks to see what's going on down there. I also use the app, which overlaps a lot of the same info in the book.
I have the Baby Center app and Sprout Lite app, too.
