Hi, I’m Barb Miles, the creator of The Pregnancy Advent Calendar and a mother of five from Boulder, Colorado.
I came up with the idea of an advent calendar for pregnancy when I was expecting my first baby. Like so many women, I was thrilled to be pregnant, and I could hardly wait for the day my baby would be born. Thirty-eight weeks seemed like an eternity.
To help temper my anticipation I would read pregnancy books, and I was amazed to learn just how quickly my little one was growing and developing. Each and every week there was something new, and I was eager to read about it as the weeks ticked by.
It reminded me of the anticipation I felt at Christmas time when I was a little girl, and would get to open one window at a time of an advent calendar as a countdown to the big day! And that’s how The Pregnancy Advent Calendar began.
