Babies on the Brain

Why did I decide to start Two Kisses for Maddy last night?

I was so tired, and that was so not the book to read to help me get to sleep.  I stayed up way too late, crying until my head hurt, and finished it up this morning instead of getting some more sleep.

Really amazing book though.

  • I just downloaded it for my iPad. I'm sure I will finish the whole thing tonight.

  • Me too!  I had to put it down after the chapter talking about her death because I couldn't handle any more crying at the moment.

    No kidding.  I read about it on his blog, but to read his description in the book is almost unbearable.

    The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.

    I wouldn't think so. I think the blog is an artistic expression for him. I would think publishing companies would not like him to write a book just like his blog.

    Nope, it is written like a regular book.  

  • I started reading the piece he wrote for the huffington post and had to stop because I was crying.. I think I've decided I will purchase the book but will not read it until at least a month after the baby is born.  I just don't think I can handle it.

    Good plan.  I would not recommend reading it while pregnant.

  • I'm like two pages in and welling up over the way the instantly fell in love. I foresee a seriously ugly cry when I get to the chapter when she dies.
