Julie Halpern's Maternity Leave tells the profane,
profound
and just plain funny story of a professional woman who
thinks she's ready for a baby but her maternity leave
proves
otherwise. Thirty six year old Annie Schwartz-Jensen is a middle
school
teacher on maternity leave-a time she imagined as
uninterrupted, blissful bonding with her baby. Instead
she
is dealing with her body leaking from every possible
orifice, a baby who won't sleep, a husband who still
wants
to have sex with her (is he nuts??), single friends who
are
clueless, and a mother who picked now to take a vacation.
The only people who REALLY understand Annie are the
wonderful people she spends sleepless nights with on QVC:
Keep those velveteen table runners and non-jiggle stretch
pants coming! As Annie navigates life with her new baby, she realizes
that
not all Mommies are created equal. But she is determined
to
find her way, love her baby, her husband, herself---even
if
she has to wear nipple protectors for the rest of her
child-bearing life.
