The chapter on Jenny's delivery completely freaked me out. From an emergency c-section to recovering, alone, in a room full of gunshot wound victims, her birth story was so horrible that I found myself wondering if this really, truly happened to her or if she compiled the worst birth stories she'd heard into a fictionalized account about herself. After reading this section I couldn't pick up the book again for a few days. Finally my husband talked me into finishing it, pointing out that the birthing center we're going to doesn't have an ER so in the very least, I won't have to worry about criminals with gunshot wounds keeping me company post delivery.

The rest of this book was decidedly more amusing, though at times horrifying in it's own way. Jenny writes about how babies "shit up the back," meaning they poop so much that it oozes out of their clothes. Yuck! I told me parents about this and they just laughed, which I took to mean: "Just you wait kiddo. Just you wait!" (Insert evil laugh.) Jenny also writes about her struggles with regaining her pre-baby figure, going back to work and, eventually, wanting another child. Which goes to show that despite troubles and mishaps becoming a parent is a marvelous thing that many, many people want to do more than once. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75760147 Sleepless Nights (Hardcover) by Sarah Bilston
