No current Talk conversations about this book. again, no The author is from my home state of North Carolina and is one of the stars of Bob and Sheri, a syndicated radio show that I listen to every morning on the way to work. Sheri covers it all...pregancy, delivery, newborn and touches on toddlerhood. There were several points that had me laughing out loud, but I did think to myself, "I know all of this already." The few pages on toddlers were most enjoyable, probably because they relate to what I'm currently experiencing. A good book nonetheless, and a wonderful alternative to more serious pregnancy books like "What to Expect When Your Expecting." no reviews | add a review
Hilarious and true and inspirational,Hello, My Name is Mommyis for every pregnant woman and new mother who ever felt helpless and out of control instead of confident and aglow. Sure, women know pregnancy is no bed of roses, but Lynch taps into her own dysfunctional childhood and fears about becoming a mom to label a much profounder worry many moms-to-be have: that their own pasts were so screwed up that they're doomed to repeat the cycle. Dr. Spock may tell moms to trust their instincts, but Lynch's Misfit Mommies want to do every last thing but that. They feel like frauds and imposters, and Lynch's real-girl's voice will be instantly recognizable to them. Lynch will walk and talk new moms through it all: from lamenting the hot dogs and second-hand smoke they were raised on (and, of course, "you turned out just fine") to the realization that kids are kind of germy and gross (but feeling that way doesn't make one a bad mother) to keeping it together at work with Cheerios in the old nursing bra.
