I couldn't help myself. It was entertaining; it was informative; it was hilarious. And I could identify with nearly everything the main character was going through (or will be able to, soon).
It was called "Expect This." Basically it was one woman's memoir of her first pregnancy. It was an open account of everything she went through. Her hormones, the letdown when she told people and they weren't as dramatically excited as she hoped, her labor, her fear that she might not be a good parent.
I loved it all.
We just found out we're finally pregnant (after a long time trying). I found myself relating so well to the writer when she talked about her first 6 weeks. And because of that, I tended to believe her more when she discussed the other 34 weeks she went through. It just made me more excited to get huge, labor, and meet this child my husband and I have created.
So excited that I missed my 9:00 bedtime - by about two hours.
Tonight, however, it's back to Gulliver's Travels. I've read it once, but I tend to inhale books on a first read, so second reads give me a little more detail. Already I'm giggling about the Liliputians and their treatment of Gulliver. And while I read, I like to keep one hand over my own tiny person inside me :)
