About the Book

Heh, I don't even know you and already I have the smirk on my face. You know the one--the bemused look all parents flash at parents-to-be. That one. The one that implies you simply don't know what you're in for, even though your nursery is finished and you've got enough frozen dinners stockpiled to last the first month. I can't help it. No actual parent can help it. We simply know too much. -- Julie Tilsner Sure, you can buy any number of books that explain what to do when you actually have a baby in the house--how to feed the baby, talk to the baby, entertain the baby. But let's put the baby aside a moment and talk about you. The baby, after all, comes preprogrammed and will blissfully go about his or her business while the two of you violently morph from normal civilians into those creatures known world round as parents. The next twelve months will take you on a wild, Dolby stereo, Technicolor, 3-D transformation unlike anything you've experienced. By the end of next year, you won't resemble your old, pre-child selves at all. Instead, you'll possess strange new "parent powers." You'll have unraveled the mysteries of the car seat, be able to live in the wilderness for a week out of your diaper bag, and know all the words (with chorus) to "Elmo's Song." The Poop list, binkies, Onesies, cradle crap, and colic--this is your new world. You'll suddenly understand what your parents meant when they said, "Just wait 'til you have kids." You might wonder when you'll get back to your old self. The answer is, you won't. Ask anyone with kids. Parenthood is a state from which you will never recover. But even though you'll never again get as much sleep as you'd like, and your vocabulary is a third of its former self, it's not such a bad state to be in. Really. Truly. Julie Tilsner is a writer whose articles have appeared in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Cosmopolitan, Parenting, Business Weekly, and many on-line venues. Her first book, 29 and Counting: A Chick's Guide to Turning 30, has become the handbook of choice for wary women in their late 20s. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and daugther.
