Today I picked up 7 pregnancy books and 1 pre/during/post pregnancy workout video. The smallest book I chose,
Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy, was also the one I thought I'd enjoy the least. Even though I barely remember her from her MTV 'Singled Out' days, I've always associated Jenny McCarthy with obnoxiousness. So, I figured I'd start on it and after reading a few annoying pages just use it to start a return-it-to-the-library reminder pile. Once I started this one, however, I finished it within a matter of hours. If you don't mind a few crude words and complete frankness when it comes to discussing the female anatomy, sex, and bodily functions during pregnancy, I recommend this book as a break from all those other pregnancy books. This review ->
here<- by Jen Crispin is pretty accurate, but I think I liked the book a bit more than Jen. :o) It's like having a very real discussion about the woes of pregnancy with a that funny friend who uses a bit more explicative terms than "crapload" and "bootae" (yeah...um...the only time I really cuss is when I say $hit and that's usually uncontrollable and during horrific toe-stubbing accidents and near-death on the road experiences). So, if you're feeling a little bogged down with all of your own pregnancy research,
Belly Laughsis a hilarious breather (again, if you're not easily offended by cuss words and explicitness).
