I rented this from Paperspine on a whim and it’s become my new recommended-for-anyone-considering-a-baby book. It’s especially good for baby blues or PPD, and I even found myself waving a chapter in front of the spouse with a “Hey, read this”, as it explain something that I’d been trying to put into words for over a week now.
Sippy Cups Are Not For Chardonnay is a humorous look at what your new life as a parent really, really is like. From childbirth recovery to picking out an exclusive preschool for your little monster, Stefanie Wilder Taylor tells it like it is. Underlying the constant witticism is some honest-to-goodness useful advice, from strollers and feeding, to in-the-trenches parenting advice that will help you survive the first year.

A few reasons to love maternity jeans:
- No need to loosen your belt after a meal.
- No need to even wear a belt!
- Never having to worry that your fly is down.
- If you’re wearing a full panel, not having to worry that your crack is showing!
- Being stylish even when “fat” and bloated in slimfit preggo jeans and a glam top.
Sure, there are expensive maternity jeans out there, but honestly – a good pair of jeans can last you years, right? So why spend crazy money on a single pair of maternity jeans when you’re going to wear them for maybe 9 months in total? I LIVE in jeans, so I figured I’d go for a fairly cheap pair or two, and have money left over for mix and match tops. The other trick is to find sale stuff at the more expensive maternity stores; I was lucky enough to find a Liz Lange store that was closing down.
