Books like Partly Sunny: An Honest and Humorous Look at the First Weeks of Bringing Home a Newborn

Partly Sunny is an honest, humorous account of the transition to parenthood and the stark differences between expectations and realities. Childbirth hurts and babies are needy, this we know. What we may not know, however, is just how hard, how messy, and how completely unpresentable bringing home a newborn really is in the first weeks. By speaking frankly about topics like ugly thoughts, breastfeeding failures, and "handsy" visitors, Partly Sunny empowers its readers to laugh at the depleting parts of the newborn days so that the beautiful parts can be savored.
