it hits a little close to home at times (ie: going out with baby barf on your sweatpants uniform, and instead of showering, opting to wipe the pits and parts with a baby wipe)... but it's hilarious and wonderful and insightful and uplifting - if only to make one realize that all mom's go through this rite of passage.
horrible, selfish, worldly
Okay, I'm a bit biased. But I really did like the book.

I used to write for TV but when I became pregnant, I didn't want to work the long hours anymore. Besides, once I realized that pregnancy sucks, it gave me the perfect fodder for my first book entitled, "Pregnancy Sucks: What to do When Your Miracle Makes you Miserable". That led to ten other books in the Sucks series, plus my new book, "The Stay-at-Home Martyr".
