The Divine Secrets of the Ma-Ma Sisterhood

Well, I've become a member of a new secret club...

...The Ma-Ma sisterhood!

Although pregnancy is indeed a time of excitement, wonder and miracles. Once pregnant, you come to discover that it is also a whirlwind time of some secretly "unpleasant" and "unexpected" factors. Factors that you don't really hear about or know about until you eventually become a member of the ma-ma sisterhood. Once you join their club, then the honesty, the gory details begin to unfold.

All you moms know what I'm talking about!

Some secrets are just too embarassing to share in this blog. Just know that it aint all about glowing and growing outward gracefully. There's a lot of behind-the-scenes action taking place. Let's just say your body and hormones have some great surprises in store for you once you become pregnant.

I highly recommend Jenny McCarthy's best-selling books: "Belly Laughs" (while pregnant) and "Baby Laughs" (post partum). Her honesty and humor have helped me so much throughout my pregnancy thus far. It's like having a best gal pal on hand to tell me the honest to goodness truth as to what to expect. She doesn't glamourize it, she doesn't sugar coat it. Every mom-to-be needs this dose of Jenny.

I'd also like to thank all my girlfriends who are mommies - for sharing and being honest with me, and for welcoming me into their sisterhood!
