Belly Laughs

it seems odd to me that i haven't had the desire to read more pregnancy related books, especially given my love of reading. i hear a lot of people run to their nearest bookstore the second they see two pink lines and stock up on all things pregnancy. i guess i'm having enough real-life experiences that the thought of reading about it is the last thing on my mind!

that being said, i was lent this book by a friend and just now finished, 29 weeks in! it wasn't a particularly long book, it's just that i now got to reading it. having now finished, i can definitely recommend this book to other preggo's out there, and even to those anticipating having a baby in the near future.

obviously, writing isn't Jenny McCarthy's strongest skill, but you can feel her sincerity and humor throughout her book. i really appreciated her honesty and bluntness to talking about all things pregnancy.  for example, when you're terrified of getting stretch marks, you learn to appreciate Jenny's tell-all that even she got them, and that no one wants them.  i don't want to hear that they "tell a story" and are "to be worn proud" because you carried your child. blech. look, i don't want them, and i don't know anyone who does. anyways, McCarthy is quite the open book in her novel and i love how she talked about topics that people forget to warn you about in pregnancy. if you need a good laugh, and a good read, read this!
