"Extreme Motherhood: The Triplet Diaries" by Jackie Clune

As I write this, I'm eight months pregnant.  I feel huge, awkward, and impatient to meet my baby.  I can't imagine taking this feeling and multiplying in by three, but that's exactly what Jackie Clune writes about in her non-fiction book "Extreme Motherhood".

Clune and her husband find out that not only do they have an accidental pregnancy, but that they're expecting triplets!  Clune's book describes her pregnancy with triplets (they already had a toddler) and then life with not one, but three newborn babies.  The book is honest and alternates between touching and hilarious.

There are a few moments where it's clear that Jackie Clune is a celeb and not just your average expecting mother (for example their friends pay to convert their loft--something none of my friends could afford to do for us-- and she gets a personal trainer--compliments of the West End Show Mamma Mia!-- to lose weight after the babies are born).  On the whole, though, the book is very down-to-earth and just plain enjoyable.
