I'm also the husband of a new mom so I'm starting to wonder what I might be in for.Great collection that you should check out. Plus there are a wide variety of types of stories here, so there's something for everybody. That is what makes it so great is that everybody probably has their own anecdote in this vein, so it makes us laugh and reminisce at the same time. While I laughed through the stories I pictured my own mom in a lot of the dialogue. Review 1: This book really is for anybody.
