Publisher Description

I'm going to be totally honest.  This is not the kind of audiobook that can help you.  It's not a "how-to," a "when-to," or a "what-to-expect."  It's not even endorsed by anyone remotely connected to the medical profession.  (Although a cousin of mine who sells carpeting to doctors' offices not only found it "insightful" and "informative," but felt that, "if properly vacuumed, it should last a lifetime.") "A fine endorsement," you say.  "But if I have only one audiobook to buy, shouldn't I go for the helpful one?" Let's compare: Those "know-it-all" books tell you how to have a happy, healthy pregnancy.  My book mentions a squirrel. Those books tell you how to care for a newborn child.  My book describes how tired I am. Those books give you essential information you can use in a life-threatening emergency.  My book has some very amusing anecdotes about poop. So really, it's up to you. If you want to be prepared and well-informed, I understand.  But if you enjoy hearing the words "pterodactyl" and "uterus" in the same book, you've come to the right place.

"I laughed, I cried, I nodded my head and mumbled "oh, that's so true" many times through this book. Reiser's funny observations about having a baby made it that much funnier when our kids were infants. Just renewing the obvious that with a quick wit and a eye for wonder, there is humorous material all around us. Great book."

    " I read this about 10 years ago because someone had left it laying around at work and I can't stand to see a book go to waste by not being read. It was interesting information from a parents perspective, however I probably did not get all I should have out of the book being that I was about 17 when I read it. "

    " I could hear his speech pattern when reading this, he is a funny guy. Wasn't wild about reading about babyhood stages again, but he did it in such a funny way, it had me continuing through. "

    " This is an enjoyable and entertaining book, although I didn't find it nearly as hilarious as his first book, Couplehood. Perhaps if we experienced pregnancy and parenting an infant, rather than starting with a toddler, it would've been funnier to me. "

    " Innocuous humor. You can do better than read worn-out stand-up routines. If you're going that route, at least read the stale comedic stylings of this century's comics. "
