The old cover showcased a mother in a moo-moo type dress sitting in a rocking chair, pretty outdated? Yes. The author believes that just like today's mother, the cover has evolved.

Are you pregnant?!
Yeah, that was my question too... is this a "hint" before the big news?
Becky, are you announcing some baby news?!?
I have seen this new book and it is so great. I will need a copy in the future:-)
I was going to ask the same thing!
um, it's about time they got with the times! That other cover has a woman on it that looks like a mother from the 19th century!
it is a little odd that you would be writing about this Becks-- remember, it's impossible to hide a pregnancy from other women that have been pregnant...
Has the 2009 plan been changed to 2008?
I think it is about time you and Erika contribute to the growing of the family.
I had two kids by the time I was your age. Doesn't that sound like a comment our moms and grandmothers make!!
sorry guys, no baby news. however my new sweet nieces do have me thinking about my own babies and hoping they will be just as cute.
...I'm just reaching out to my mother/mother-to-be readers :)
I'm glad that the rumor got cleared up. We do miss you at work - the new guy doesn't talk much.
Ya that is a little deceiving. You should get on that though.
Is it a boy or a girl?
By the way, Bex, congrats to you and Adam on graduating! I am so sorry we couldn't make it. It sounds like in approx. nine months you will know how it feels to have a one week old baby at home and function on little to no sleep.;)
I need to do posts like this more often...it generated a lot of comments! :)
I've gotta say kudos for reaching out to all areas of your audience--single, married, and child-laden. And I say it's about time they updated that old classic---I think the old one was so outdated they were literally giving it away for free when you got pregnant. Seriously. Mine was FREE.
