Description
“There is a short list of obligatory books you read when you’re pregnant, and then there are those you read because they stir your soul. Dear Babies, with all of its warmth and endearing wisdom, is a standout among the latter.” —Bethany Meyer, “The Huffington Post” Contributor . . . When Amy Denby found out she was pregnant with twins after two years of fertility treatments, she handled her overwhelming emotions the way any writer (former entertainment editor of Seventeen and More magazines) and self-respecting Carrie Bradshaw-wannabe would: She began writing to her unborn children. What unfolded is “Dear Babies, Crazy Life, Simply Explained,” a blog of snappy letters that captured readers’ hearts for being so tender and raw--and laugh-out-loud funny. Here as a book, “Dear Babies” offers a collection of stand-out entries that are part life lessons, part side-splitting anecdotes mixed with blush-worthy confessions, that paints the most intimate and entertaining portrait of pregnancy today. Any expecting woman will laugh, cry, smile, and nod in agreement as she reads, while any person, pregnant or not, will find in these pages an inspiring story about life and what it means to be growing. About beginnings, endings and what we think we know about the elusive in-between.
