ABOUT THE BOOK:

Becoming a mom is the most amazing event. Chicken Soup for the Soul: New Moms will delight new and expectant moms with its heartwarming and humorous stories about raising babies and toddlers. This book is full of stories by other moms sharing the wonders of early motherhood, from waiting for the baby, to those early weeks and first few years, and everything in between!

MY THOUGHTS:

Even though I am not a first time mom, I liked this book.  It is full of great stories about being pregnant, breastfeeding, sleep, doubts, adoption, infertility, toddler years and more!  There really is at least one story that every mom can relate to.  As I have two kids and am pregnant, I forgot things and feelings of having a new baby and I loved reading stories from other moms.  Reading other mom’s stories just make me laugh, smile, feel like I’m not alone and hopefully learn from their strength.  There are some sad stories, but they are real and show strength and courage that only a mother can have!  This book would be great for new moms, a baby shower gift, or even a mom like me who already has kids!
