Some Book Recommendations...

Last night during my RESOLVE group, a couple book recommendations came up to help males understand the world of infertility. They are both written by men and apparently are very funny, yet insightful. I can't wait to pick them up and read them with Mike in hopes he will develop a clearer understanding of why I have turned into a crazy baby hungry woman.

The first is "How to Make Love to a Plastic Cup: A Guy's Guide to the World of Infertility" by Greg Wolfe.

and the second is "What He Can Expect When She's Not Expecting: How to support your wife, save your marriage and conquer infertility!" by Marc Sedaka.

If any of you readers out there have read either of these books, I would love to hear more about them!
