There is no need to throw out the Blahniks with the bathwater! This book offers a hip, hilarious, and prescriptive look at how to nurture your inner babe--and baby--at the same time.

From moms who hyperventilate at the thought of soccer-mom hairdos and senseless acts of baking, here's reassurance that there's no need to throw out the Blahniks with the bathwater. This book is an essential guide for new and experienced mothers alike, packed with practical, profound and irreverent truths about how to stay fabulous amidst the burps, stretch marks and drool: Pretty up down there: A pedicure, a bikini wax and a good leg shaving a few days before her due date will keep mom from feeling like Godzilla when a lot of hunky residents are peering at her lower half during labour; Bangles, bangles everywhere: Some cool bracelets make Mom glamorous in all those pictures of baby - since they're also pictures of her forearms; Blow town: When the going gets tough, new parents should hit the road. Newborns are lightweight, mobile and lack the ability to say, Are we there yet? and When can we go home? Sure, becoming a mom changes a woman's life completely. But Betty Londergan's 101 wise and witty rules for Mamas and Mamas-to-be give the confidence and kickass attitude to stay sexy, stylish and cool - proof that they can nurture their inner babes and their babies, all at the same time.
