Remember how I said that writing a book was just like having a baby? It really, really was. From the sleepless nights to the obsessing over every little thing to life never being the same since.
Well, I have a new point to add to that list: Amnesia.
You know how you block out exactly how miserable the aches and pains of pregnancy were? How you immediately forget the disgustingness that is childbirth? How those miserable nights with a newborn don’t really stick in your brain and just the sweet breathing and precious little bodies do?
I’ve similarly forgotten just how crazy the book writing process made me and have found myself aching for a new bundle of joy. The new release table gives me baby fever and I caress the cover of my book the way I used to old onsies and baby booties. Somehow, I became addicted to the insanity that is book publishing and am excited to announce that I am book-knocked up all over again! My amazing agent and wonderful team at Simon and Schuster are along for the ride and we expect our little delivery, The Scary Mommy Handbook, in the spring/summer of 2013.
The roller coaster begins again.

That is amazing! You really worked it for this book, and I hope you enjoyed it more than hated it. I’m looking forward to seeing what you bring us this time!
Kristin recently posted..You Get Credit for the Covers
Congratulations! Does this mean I need to get a book deal to stop lovingly caressing onsies. Seriously. I made a diaper motorcycle for a baby shower last week and was done in by the baby powder fresh scent on the diapers. The scent of the pull-ups my almost 3 1/2yo never to be potty trained child still wears just isn’t the same.

Thank you guys so, so much. It goes without saying that I could never have done this without you, so you really are all Scary Aunties. We’re having a baby!!!! ;)
I can’t wait!
Congratulations!!!!
Kudos. I will look forward on this.

Amber recently posted..Inside Natalie’s Closet: Back to School Outfits!
Yay Jill, what fab news! We might be birthing around the same time. My book, now called Don’t Lick the Minivan: Things I Never Thought I’d Say As a Parent (originally called Get That Train off Your Penis), should be out around the same time. I’ve meant to email you to let you know but that thing called no-kids-in-school kind of ruins my summer plans…
Congrats!
