The Wonder Weeks (book & app)

Has anyone read this book?  I saw it recommended on a friend's facebook page and was considering getting it.

There's also an app, which I downloaded and it sounds pretty interesting.  From the little bit I've looked at, it seems that the idea is baby goes through different "leaps" and the app gives you a summary, abilities, signs, and helpful tips for each leap.

It goes by EDD, not DOB.  So, A is coming up to her first leap (4.5-5 weeks after EDD) - "changing sensations."  Some of the signs are crying without a normal reason (diaper/hungry/sleep) and wanting much more physical contact (only sleeping when being held).  She's definitely exhibited both of these signs over the last few days - it made me feel better to read that these signals were normal b/c I was worried something was wrong (especially with all the crying!).

Anyhow, I was curious if anyone's read the book...if it's worth getting, or if the info in the app would be helpful enough.

No, but now I'm intrigued.

I've always wondered why growth spurts are supposed to come arouns certain weeks and months without any regard to adjusted "gestational" age if LO came early or late.

I decided to go ahead and order the book - it had good reviews on Amazon.  Not that I have all this time to read, but I'm kinda excited about this book and will have to make time to read it.

I also read about the Wonder Weeks with DD1 and it helped me so much! I just better understood what was going on in her little head! Also highly recommend it.
