Tracy Moore writes for Jezebel’s wildly popular<br />

weekly column, Motherload, a humorous, often<br />

exasperated look at the conventional expectations<br />

and frustrations of modern motherhood. She has<br />

also written for Village Voice papers, LA Weekly, Dallas<br />

Observer, Nashville Scene, Houston Press, Rolling Stone<br />

magazine, and Spin magazine. She and her husband<br />

spend all the rest of their extremely limited<br />

free time wrangling a toddler who insists on drinking<br />

her own bathwater.<br />

• From the wildly popular Jezebel blogger, Tracy Moore, comes a<br />

hilarious yet useful guide to the unplanned pregnancy<br />

• Her regular columns on Jezebel.com garner 30,000 to 90,000<br />

views per post!<br />

• Approximately 49 percent of pregnancies are unplanned and more<br />

than half of those involve women in their 20s and 30s (Centers for Disease<br />

Control and Prevention)<br />

Talk about a bump in the road. Whether they were waiting until “the right<br />

time” to have kids or hoped and pleaded the day would come, readers<br />

who are expecting (when they TOTALLY weren’t expecting) will breathe a<br />

sigh of relief when they flip through Oops! In this collection of humorous<br />

essays, Jezebel blogger Tracy Moore shares her personal experiences with<br />

jumping head first into motherhood—without a clue what she was doing.<br />

Unexpectedly pregnant at thirty-three, Moore’s life completely changed<br />

when she had to give up her beloved cigarettes and deli meats and quickly<br />

learn how to care for the little bundle of (ahem) joy growing inside of her.<br />

Her honest advice will help others facing a surprise pregnancy cope with<br />

all the changes and feelings that occur the moment they become a parent.<br />

From stockpiling baby supplies in just a few months to being the lone sober<br />

one at a party, this book will reassure mothers-to-be as it answers all their<br />

questions and braces them for the unexpected.<br />
