Gift Idea (and shameless plug of my book)

by Emily on September 29, 2012

For my uber-organized readers who are already thinking about holiday gifts, I have the perfect gift for any new or expecting parents on your list…. my book!

Here is the description:
A Parenting Conspiracy: The Fine Print for Becoming a Parent is an honest and humorous disclosure of the trials and tribulations of conceiving, pregnancy, delivery, and early parenting that are rarely revealed.

“Emily mixes together sobering facts and a bit of humor to confront glowing first-time mothers that what lies ahead may not be so great after all… but is definitely worth it. A perfect gift for Moms-to-be!” -Amy Adele

This tongue-in-cheek book won’t help you parent, but tells you what other parents haven’t, including…
• Pregnancy messes with the hair growth everywhere on your body (and that’s not the worst symptom)
• Only 4% of babies are born on their due date (and you may be in labor for longer than a day)
• Regardless of your type of delivery, you won’t be able to sit, or have sex, for at least six weeks
• You will milk yourself like a cow using a breast pump
• Four hours of uninterrupted sleep is a good night
• Your house will be covered in baby paraphernalia and toys
• Guys can suffer from post-partum depression too

The heart-felt advice from the author, who “was shocked by the realities of parenthood,” will give readers a glimpse of how something so small can bring such enormous changes in their lives.

Click here to check it out on Amazon, or visit the book’s Facebook page.  Of course you could always buy them diapers instead.
