Is it possible to maintain chic as a single-mom-to-be in a
city where it's all supposed to be effortless and
breastfeeding is a horreur? Does one live by the
Parisienne's pregnancy plan of smoking, drinking, and
cheese-eating avec vin blanc, but jamais jamaisgain more
than six kilos? And how to handle a pickup attempt by a
married man in the baby department of Bon Marche when
you're eight months along? After all, American girls do
things differently: Lamaze class and baby showers, sensible
prenatal care and...family to watch you proudly grow more
and more pregnant. Paris is full of delights for a new mom:
the Luxembourg Gardens, baby boutiques too precious to be
passed by, a petit briochefor a teething tot. But home
exerts a powerful pull. Should your child grow up skipping
by the Seine or scampering up a tree house? Should it
be "Mommy" or " Maman"? And can a tall blonde with a taste
for Veuve Cliquot and Vuitton ever make it in the land of
mom jeans and Happy Meals? Paris, Baby!is novelist Kirsten
Lobe's warm, funny memoir about Paris, Frenchmen,
friendship, babies, and making it on one's own.
