My daughter was pregnant with her second child, and my daughter-in-law with her first. Finding items that they hadn't already received was a real challange. The Chicken Soup books are a great gift for most everyone. In true Chicken Soup character, there are stories that make you laugh & make you cry. Sometimes at the same time! The book lends humor to a time that can be very trying to the new mom and really lets the know that there is hope. So many of the stories can easily be related to, espically in those early days and months of motherhood. I really liked the fact that most of the stories are a very short, so that they don't required the reader to devote long periods of time to complete. I'll keep this one on my list of baby shower gifts.
I cried and I laughed as I read these stories and realized that . . . other moms feel the same way I do! Motherhood can be isolating at times because your time gets eaten up with all you need to do for your little ones. I started reading this book and couldn't put it down because, while reading, I had this feeling of, "everything is O.K. I can do this motherhood thing. Other mothers have struggled too, but have found success in the end." I think we mom's really need to hear the real, deep feeling of other moms more often rather than thinking we're the only ones who struggle. This book accomplishes that. I realized that there's a lot to laugh about as a mom, too.
