  <default_description>Jenny McCarthy's hilarious, no-holds-barred personality has made her an instantly recognizable TV personality and a bestselling author. In &lt;I&gt;Baby Laughs&lt;/I&gt; she examines the full range of challenges that new mothers face, including:&lt;BR&gt; &amp;#149; The humiliations of postnatal &amp;#147;numbing spray,&amp;#148; Tucks medicated pads, and adult diapers; jelly belly, balding, and gum disease; and becoming a &amp;#147;five-foot puke rag&amp;#148; for the baby&lt;BR&gt; &amp;#149; Heart-stopping terrors, such as baby manicures, breathing checks, and burp failures&lt;BR&gt; &amp;#149; Inadequacies, such as lullaby illiteracy and the need for a &amp;#147;heavy rotation&amp;#148; of toys, videos, and mobiles&lt;BR&gt; &amp;#149; Daddy antics, such as infant wrestling, home-movie mania, sleeping like a log, and expecting sex&lt;BR&gt; &amp;#149; Dueling grandmas, germ-ridden guests, Olympic-class competitive mommies, anorexic pets&amp;#151; and much more. &lt;P&gt; Mothers and fathers will find much-needed relief and insight in this sometimes touching, sometimes gritty, but always perceptive and outrageously funny account of what it truly means to have your very own small bundle of joy.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I will read anything by Jenny McCarthy. She has a way of relating to the reader that is just wonderful. She's humorous and touching. In the sea of books filled with overwhelming knowledge, this is a great read that will make you laugh and make you feel not so alone in all of the craziness of motherh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45006894">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really like how honest she is about what her experiences were.  I think she is real and she writes her book like she is talking to you.  I like how she is blunt and doesn't rose color anything.  I didn't find this book as funny as the first one.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this book.  McCarthy does a great job of making you feel normal.  I don't have children yet, but all my friends who do, and have read the book, really liked it.<br/><br/>She does get a little gross occasionally, but it's a light-hearted read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't think this was as good as &quot;Belly Laughs.&quot; I just got really bored with it. I don't know if I was tired of McCarthy's  humor or what it was. Maybe because I read it thinking I was going to learn something. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[All of the things that no one tells you about the first year! It can be a bit crude at times, talking about blow jobs and such, but because my sense of humor leans towards that anyway, I really enjoyed this book.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Eh, it was okay.  I would have preferred more humor/funny stories and less advice (yeah, I'll get the advice from my books written by MD's, but thanks Jenny!).  But it was mildly entertaining and a quick, light read (which is what I needed).]]></body>
