So funny! A must read for all sleep deprived parents whose friends claim that their babies are sleeping through the night when their ages can still be measured in weeks....
This was a great down-to-earth read for expecting and/or new parents. It is full of relaxing humor that makes you feel like you are not alone in the parenthood adventure!

Hilarious! I laughed on every page.
