Sippy cups are not for chardonay
This is a laugh out loud humorous account of one woman's pregnancy and new born experience. She was wholly unprepared (as we all are), and shares this wake up experience in a light hearted entertaining way.
I've read all the books listed by pervious posters. Taking charge of your fertility is in no way inspirational. It is a very good book on how to use Natural family planning both to get or prevent pregnancy, but it is only clinical. There are no stories in it to make you laugh, cry, or imagine your life with a baby. Rather you learn things like how to observes your cervical fluids- yippee. "Your pregnancy week by week" is really only fascinating when you are actually pregnant. "And I would say same for "what to expect when you are expecting". If want you want is to help her imagine her taking that next step into becoming a mother, she needs an account, a story. Perhaps get her one of each, something entertaining and inspirational, and something clinical and informative like the ones previously mentioned.
