Sloane Tanen's chickens are back, but this time they've only got one thing on their minds - babies: carrying babies around for nine months (aka the relief of maternity wear), naming them (their university prospects depend on it), nourishing them (breast-feeding is so in right now), even comparing them (they must be in the 96th percentile of something). From epidurals and stretch marks to nappy rash and day care, "Hatched!" is guaranteed to keep you laughing all the way through your pregnancy and first year of motherhood.
