And how to handle a pickup attempt by a married man in the baby department of Bon Marché when youre eight months along? After all American girls do things differently: Lamaze class and baby showers sensible prenatal care and…family to watch you proudly grow more and more pregnant.. Paris is full of delights for a new mom: the Luxembourg Gardens baby boutiques too precious to be passed by a petit brioche for a teething tot. But home exerts a powerful pull. Should your child grow up skipping by the Seine or scampering up a tree house? Should it be Mommy or Maman? And can a tall blonde with a taste for Veuve Cliquot and Vuitton ever make it in the land of mom jeans and Happy Meals?. Paris Baby! is novelist Kirsten Lobes warm funny memoir about Paris Frenchmen friendship babies and making it on ones own.
