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.
