From 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!
****************
Becoming a new mom is an amazing thing and what better way to celebrate that amazing new feeling than by sharing this book with someone about to become a new mom.  Here are just a few things in the book:

• Pregnancy countdown
• Births, bodies and babies
• Becoming a new person - a mother!
• Breastfeeding battles
• Struggling with infertility
• Adoption and other paths to motherhood
• The ups and downs of new motherhood
• Great ideas for the sleep derived
• Adding a second child
• and lots of funny stories for comic relief

Like the other Chicken Soup for the Soul books I've received, this is very well written and is loaded with short stories from real people like you and me. It's easy to read and can be read in any order whether you have a few moments or a few hours to spare. The stories are broken down into sections based on topic (toddler, first time, second time, etc.) so it's easy to find a story that particularly inspires you.  This would really make a wonderful Mother's Day gift!
