Book Description

Jenny McCarthy's hilarious, no-holds-barred personality has made her an instant recognizable TV personality and, more recently, a bestselling author. In Belly Laughs, McCarthy's first book on motherhood, she documented the absurdities of pregnancy-everything from gaining "ten pounds of breast and suffering hot flashes so intense that she steamed up the car windows to having "pig-in-the-pasture" third trimester sex.

In Baby Laughs she now examines, with equally riotous candor, the full range of challenges that new mothers face, including:

• The humiliations of postnatal "numbing spray," Tucks medicated pads, and adult diapers; bleeding "udders," jelly belly, balding, and gum disease; and becoming a "five-foot puke rug" for the baby

• Heart-stopping terrors, such as baby manicures, breathing checks, burp failures, missed "milestones," and flying "cocktail wieners"

• Inadequacies, such as lullaby illiteracy and the need for a "heavy rotation" of toys, videos, and mobiles

• Daddy antics, such as infant wrestling, home-movie mania, sleeping like a log, and--gulp!--expecting sex

• Dueling grandmas, germ-ridden guests, girlfriends blind to the charm of a heart-shaped poo-poo, Olympic-class competitive mommies, anorexic pets-and much more.

Mothers and fathers will find much-needed relief and insight in this sometimes touching, sometimes gritty, but always perceptive and outrageously funny account of what it truly means to have your very own small bundle of joy.
