Blindsided by a Diaper

It used to be just the two of you. Now you have a baby, or maybe even a few kids, and the luxury of time--to frolic, talk, romance, and simply hang out--is gone, replaced by a big dose of chaos and the demands of little people who rule your home with small, adorable iron fists. Parenthood brings changes to your relationship, changes that are at once profound, beautiful, irrevocable, and scary. These changes knock you off balance, forcing even the most secure couples to go back to the basics in figuring out how to define a new version of "we." In Blindsided by a Diaper, some of today's most popular writers dare to tell what it's really like for couples in the trenches of the parenting experience. They boldly reveal intimate aspects of their relationships, sharing the choices they've made, the joy and frustrations they've experienced, the trials and tribulations of their sex lives, the lessons they have learned, and how their lives together as parents may or may not be what they were expecting. The writers have quite literally invited you inside their bedrooms, their minds, and their lives as parents.From the Trade Paperback edition.
