In Blindsided by a Diaper, some of today's most popular writers dare to tell what it's really like for couples in the trenches of the parenting experience. They boldly reveal intimate aspects of their relationships, sharing the choices they've made, the joy and frustrations they've experienced, the trials and tribulations of their sex lives, the lessons they have learned, and how their lives together as parents may or may not be what they were expecting.
