About this Blog

Momfidence! cheers on commonsense parenting and sighs at the rest. How to worry less, wing it more. A.k.a. parenting by the seat of my mid-rise mom jeans.

Moms Need to Keep Up With the Times (More or Less)

April 24, 2008
Even the dowdy  What to Expect Mom has finally gotten off her rocker and wandered into A Pea in the Pod. In the newest edition she wears jeans and a fitted top and looks...well, like pregnant women look here in the 21st century.

I still have my vintage WTEWYE...the scary one that told me I couldn't eat any sugar, honey, or maple syrup for nine months. (I think it was the What to Eat When You're Expecting book that allowed a half-cup of ice cream per month.)

Anyone else have a favorite story from the old severe (or the new exhaustive) What to Expect??
