You’re six months pregnant. Your feet are swollen, your back hurts, and you could really use a bowl of that chocolate ice cream your husband finished off last night. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to e-mail your best friend and complain to someone who knows exactly how you feel because she’s pregnant, too? That’s what girlfriends Stephanie Triplett and Sara Ellington did, and they turned their e-mails into a book.

With their babies due just a few weeks apart, the two women learned things from each other that they didn’t find in pregnancy books. They discovered many aspects of pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood that no one ever seemed to talk about. “The Mommy Chronicles” is a candid, honest view into the lives and emotions of two new mothers. They share their own experiences of pregnancy and motherhood in intimate, often hilarious detail.

Reading this book is like listening in on a personal, in-depth conversation between two women as they laugh, cry, worry and celebrate becoming mothers. Topics they cover range from labor and delivery and career choices to postpartum depression and husbands who just don’t get it. One reader raves, “I thought I had read it all when it comes to being a mommy, but this book really spoke to my heart.” She continues, “When you are blessed with a precious new baby … you're really wondering if you're getting anything right. Being privy to the conversations between these girlfriends reassures and empowers any new or experienced mom that she is raising her family in her own ‘right’ way.”

In addition to its entertaining content, you’ll appreciate the easy-to-read format “The Mommy Chronicles” is presented in, earning the book a practically perfect score on Amazon.com.
