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.

Fun read by a funny guy May 28, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Nealon was always one of my favorites on SNL...(and now Weeds). He's always come across as one of those guys who loves what he's doing (unlike those comedian dips who do it only to feed their egos). That said, I didn't hestitate much when it came time to peel out the Mastercard for this one. I'm 29 years-old with no wife or kids, but this book still had me chuckling throughout. And if you're a late bloomer like him (and I), you'll be laughing out loud. He also really does a good job with translating his dry sense of humor to the pages.
A good funny book June 13, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Kevin Nealon wrote a very good very funny book for 1st time expecting dads. I highly recomend this book for all dads, wether you are expecting your first child this book will keep you laughing (and scared) while actually giving decent tips on what to do or how to handle a pregnant wife, If you already have kids this book will bring back some memories for sure, both good and bad, with a few " I wish I'd thought of that " moments thrown in. By the way, my pregnant wife loved the book too.
More about Nealon than the baby June 29, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
(from the review at gametheorist.blogspot.com) I used to watch Nealon on Saturday Night Live and I think he occasionally pops up in movies. But I chose this book primarily because I was sitting at the next table to him in an LA airport lounge last year and he looked pretty much like the picture on the front of his book. Interestingly, he had bought a Sony eBook reader just as the Kindle had come out and I was puzzled about this. Maybe it was for the flight only to discover he was going to need a computer to get at those books.
His book is about his experience in pregnancy -- not his really but his wife's. He is 53 and so is older than the average parent and also, his celebrity lifestyle defined much of what he was going through. There was lots of angst about having children and feelings about life in general which gave him an excuse to recount previous non-parenting incidents with random abandon. It had its moments but there was not alot that I found easy to relate to. Nonetheless, I suspect that if you are pregnant (or close to one who is) this would be a good read.
Kevin Nealon at his best June 13, 2008 I knew when I purchased this book it would be a roller coaster of sorts for me as I'm a father of two and went through many of the feelings and emotions that Kevin wrote about in this book... I highly recommend this book for people with a twisted and comic view of life !!
yes your pregnant but what about me July 4, 2008 I would recommend this book to anyone who has or will be having children! It really does give you heads up on what is important to you before and after children come into our lifes. This book will have you laughing out loud til your in tears. It reminds you as a parent how children are the most important part of our lives and they should not be taken advantage of. All they want is you in there life til they reach that age where there friends kick in and you wonder where it all went. You get to live again through their eye just for alittle while. Keep them close and you will miss out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GET THIS BOOK
