How do you know if you might be pregnant? And how do you deal with peeing all the time and being hungry all the time and fielding well-meaning but kind of insulting advice and finding a doula and being dropped by your old friends and learning why it's called mom brain and not dad brain and the tyranny of the milestones you're not meeting and negotiating boundaries with in-laws and realizing that your heart now exists outside of your chest and in the body of this tiny little being whose entire existence depends on the quality of your care? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo tackle these questions and many others, award-winning cartoonist and memoirist Liana Finck began illustrating her early years of motherhood, giving images and language to her insecurities, frustrations, and wild joy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHow to Baby\u003c\/i\u003e, Liana takes her witty and lacerating cartoons (\"Hobbies for Pregnant Women: Waiting on Hold with the Insurance Company\") and weaves them together with comic essays (\"You Married a Brute.
