Binding: HardcoverDewey Decimal Number: 792.7028092 EAN: 9780061215209 ISBN: 0061215201 Label: HarperEntertainment Manufacturer: HarperEntertainment Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 272 Publication Date: May 01, 2008 Publisher: HarperEntertainment Release Date: May 13, 2008 Studio: HarperEntertainment Editorial Review: Product Description: At fifty-three, Kevin Nealon thought he had it all: a massive international celebrity with legions of loyal fans; a fabulous modeling career; hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank; and the most recognizable face on the planet. Nealon had accomplished the impossible: a thirty-year career in show business with only limited trips to rehab. But just like every other celebrity, he felt that was not enough. The perpetually insatiable Nealon wanted more, and for him "more" meant a little addition that drooled, burped, and pooped (no, not a Pomeranian). Now, in his first-ever book, Nealon tells the outrageous story of how he battled through aching joints, Milano cookie cravings, and a rapidly receding hairline to become a first-time dad at an age when most fathers are packing their kids off to college. Offering hysterical commentary about his fickle, often hormonal, road to belated and bloated fatherhood, Nealon guides you through the delivery room and beyond, discussing how his past, his wife, and his neuroses all converged in a montage of side-splitting insecurities during the months leading up to the birth of his son. In Yes, You're Pregnant, But What About Me?, Nealon details his trip through all the emotional stages of pregnancy—uncomfortable, denial, hungry, sleepy, self-conscious, hungrier, confused, cranky, not-quite-as-hungry but still craving something, sweaty, covered in cookie crumbs—all while struggling to keep his blood pressure down and find the time to read the latest issue of the AARP Bulletin. Wrestling with the dilemmas and fears that fathers have been dealing with for centuries (Can I duct-tape a crib together? How often can I reuse a disposable diaper? What if the baby looks like me and not my wife?), Nealon never fails to entertain with the frequent lunacy and inevitable joy that punctuate his story about parenthood. Laugh-out-loud funny and remarkably poignant, Nealon's entertaining perspective and his wealth of sarcasm provide a take on fatherhood that is as fresh as it is universal, always reminding you that half the fun of being a parent is getting there. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This baby is delightfulThis humorous memoir has potty humor that even women will enjoy. Seriously, I don't want to give anything away so I'll just say that Kevin Nealon shows us his vulnerable side as he recounts the time his girlfriend/future wife came to his aid in the bathroom. The result is hilarious and surprisingly touching. Nealon's entire memoir is goofy and zany. The content circles around getting older, facing the fears of fatherhood, and pregnancy sympathy pains--all told through a ludicrus and neurotic ...

I highly recommend this book. Rating: - Fun Book for a Fan, Fantastic Reading for a New ParentI saw Kevin less than a year ago doing his stand-up routine at a comedy club, so while reading this book I couldn't help but picture him standing on stage doing his performance. A few of the jokes in the book I remember from his on-stage act, however for those that have seen him perform don't worry, this repetition is only for a small amount of material and it makes the book even more entertaining. As a fairly new father, I found the book to be extremely funny. It is the first book I ... Read More Rating: - Goofy Kevin. Typical Kevin. Hilarious Kevin.Loved it. Totally typical and hilarious Kevin Nealon. Every line I read, I could see his face...and I would have to chuckel. Great comedy. Highly recommended. Rating:  - GoodEnjoyed this book thoroughly. If the baby benefits from laughter, it must be doing great! |
