Julie and Marcus Renner have been trying to have a baby for years. Having finally conceived successfully, Julie starts a journal with the aim of documenting every precious moment. But this journal contains more than precious moments. As the reality of motherhood unfolds, Julie realises she's in up to her eyeballs and there's nothing she can do about it but soldier on. From pregnancy meltdowns to an unconventional birth, poo explosions to power struggles, Julie is initiated into the overwhelming world of motherhood, and she records the memorable moments in her diary with a combination of desperation and witty humour.
