From Here To Paternity: The Diary of A Pregnant Man

NEW EDITION with a foreword by the author. Reviews of FROM HERE TO PATERNITY: “If you've just found out you're pregnant, go buy this book today for both yourself and your partner. 5 stars.” “I've worked my way through a few of these dad-to-be books. This by far is the very best.” “One of the best guides we bought. Fab!” “Extremely helpful. This book is a good read and is very funny in parts.” “Brilliant. In addition to being very funny and well-written in a diary format, this book is packed with practical information, useful tips and helps translate much of the medical jargon. Hearing me laugh while reading it, my wife became jealous as she struggled with the textbook-style pregnancy books - in the end she read the book as well and really enjoyed it.” “I loved this book...and when I give it back to my husband, who was reading it, I'm sure he will say the same. I have never laughed out loud or cried out loud with such frequency through one book. The story is so very familiar, but told with such wit that it really is uplifting - so refreshing after months of reading Gina and What to Expect.” “Heart-warming, funny and insightful.” “Realistic, witty and heartfelt. A great read for all dads-to-be. At times it’s hilariously funny.” “Informative and funny. Would deffo recommend for all those first-time dads out there.” “It is a really good book - a diary kept by a pregnant woman's boyfriend throughout her pregnancy - but is very honest and deals with some difficult issues. I'm now at the end of my pregnancy and with the benefit of hindsight I can see that much of what he records in his diary is accurate, frequently funny and probably universal.” “I originally bought this book for my husband, but wound up stealing it when my own pregnancy books got a bit dull. From beginning to end, it charts without apology the intimate ups-and-downs of a modern London couple. Andrew's style is reliable and witty - he makes you feel like they are a couple you've always been friends with. You laugh with their joys...” “I bought this for my fiance. He loves it. It's honest, funny and touching...”

Couldn't get past the first chapter
By Trigger Happy
I love reading so it's rare that I don't finish a book much less not making it to the second chapter. Being a new dad, I thought I would really enjoy this book. Unfortunately I was mistaken, maybe it gets better later in the book. Just couldn't bring myself to continue reading without falling asleep.

Contact: A Dad's Communication From the Other Side With His

What happens to our loved ones when they die? Can we still communicate with them after they’ve breathed their last? A few years ago, Kimberley Bouchard probably would have skirted this question, not believing it likely—but not wanting to eliminate the prospect, either. But now this ordinary wife and mother can testify that contact is, in fact, possible.

After her beloved father passes away, Kimberley faces the slow, grueling path of grief. How could she go back to a normal life with such a heartbreaking void? Pressing on as best she can, she is astounded when she suddenly starts receiving messages from her late father. What began as a deeply personal communication between them is now a source of wisdom and encouragement that she wants to share with others struggling with the weight of grief in their own lives.

Astonishingly hopeful, Contact reveals an unseen reality and illustrates the unbreakable power of love that connects us even beyond death. You can’t escape hardship and loss, but you can overcome it with an unfathomable peace when you realize you haven’t been left behind.

Kimberley Bouchard is an educator, entrepreneur, and author with a bachelor of education from the University of Alberta. Originally from Canada, she now resides in the Seattle area with her husband and their three children. She is passionate about inspiring real-life stories, so if you want to share your own experiences with her for future publication or simply send her a personal note, you can reach her at author@kimberleybouchard.com.

Filled with hope and love.
By m
In each wonderfully narrated chapter, Kimberly gives us hope and inspiration through her recounting of the communications with her father after his passing. I was engrossed and wanted to hear more stories of how his presence has manifested itself in her life and that of her children. The anecdotes filled me with hope as I view my own parents' ageing and leave me with a sense of peace in knowing I will eventually have to deal with their own passing.

Very Moving
By Amazon Customer
Every stage of this book moved me in different way. It brought back memories that made me feel sad, joyful, grateful and wrapped in hope that there is always a way to make amends by saying "I'm sorry", "I miss you" and expressing all our feelings to our loved ones that have already left. There is something special in knowing that there are no last words and that the road never ends - it's just a bridge to cross.

Very moving and inspiring
By Chach
A beautifully written book – it feels like Kimberly is at my kitchen table telling me her story. Knowing that we can continue to feel our parents’ presence after they leave is a great source of comfort to me; to step away from a hectic busy schedule and be still and feel their presence is heartwarming. You will want to read more!
