Another one of my passions is books.  Here are some of the books I discovered during my pregnancy and afterwards.  Enjoy and remember to support your local independent bookstore!  Feel free to stop by the womb room and check out any of the books on the shelves.  Feel free to stop by the womb room for the monthly story and hand craft for children call "root children"  Have a question about what is there- go to my blog and see "Shelfari" section that will allow you to see the virtual book shelves of the womb room
