Inside you'll discover helpfuland hilariousinformation and insights on such topics as: The Maternity Wardrobe:"A key part of the maternity wardrobe is maternity underwearparachute-like undies big enough to fit an NFL defensive lineman." Baby Names:"Don't give your kids mockable names like Thaddeus, which is Greek for 'I'm a dork and should be beaten up.'" The Birth:"No one told me it's normal that babies' heads can be misshapen at birth. I was convinced that my wife gave birth to Veldar, the conehead."
