Let's Panic About Babies!: How To Endure And Possibly Triumph Over The Adorable Tyrant Who Will Ruin Your Body, Destroy Your Life, Liquefy Your Brain, And Finally Turn You Into A Worthwhile Human Being (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
I read this book in between the more serious baby books, and it was good to get a break! Sometimes the book felt like, Eh, stop trying so hard to be funny, but most of the time, I appreciated the humor. Because, yes, babies are miracles and they are amazing, but also, pregnancy, labor and delivery, and actual caregiving can be weird and funny. Or sometimes horrible! But you need to laugh or at least approach it all with a lighter view. And this book helps with that! Also, as sarcastic as the book was, I did actually did find a helpful hint or two, so hurray. Oh LOOK! A funny book about having a baby! Only it totally isn't It'll make you just as paranoid and hysterical about all the crap you don't know or understand as the "What To Expect When..." books will. They DO have lawyers at the publishing company after all. You CAN'T tell women that it's really probably fine to eat soft cheeses and that if they grew up with pets they're already immune to toxoplasmosis. And that if you don't breast feed your baby until it's like 13 years old it probably will totally be fine and not die of meningitis or Spanish Flu or something. Hardy Har Har.

Hysterical to the point of laughing out loud at times. I'd recommend this to any parent-to-be.

Funny, light, sometimes cliche. I enjoy Alice Bradley's blog, Finslippy, more than the book.

Hilarious to read when you are reading so many other serious baby books!
