Have you ever wondered what being a first-time parent is really like? Once a couple has a baby, they often disappear from the world. They stop going out and hide away in their caves. No one knows what their life is really like… until now.
In our new book, Then Came The Baby: The Wonder, Mayhem and Hilarity of Our First Year As Parents, we give an inside look at the roller coaster ride of being new parents. With the same honesty and humour as our first book, Fight With Me: How We Learned to Be Married, we reflect on the changes, challenges and joys of being a first-time dad and a first-time mom.

4. How having a baby impacted our marriage, and
5. How having a baby impacted how we interacted with our family and friends.
Here’s what people are saying about the book:
“My wife and I just had our first baby a few months ago and wished that we had a book like this as we were slogging through the first months of post birth. What Tim and Olive have done, simply put, is make me realize that I’m not crazy after all.” – Benjamin, First-time Dad
“I especially appreciate the honesty, openness, and vulnerability documented by the Chans.” – Esther, Soon-to-be Mother
“I really liked how this book went through the different emotions and challenges, positive and negative. As a not-yet-parent I found this helpful and encouraging. They addressed a lot of fears I have personally while showing the fun (and funny) side of parenting. Overall, I found it refreshing and encouraging, real, reassuring and very honest.” – Jess, Married without kids
“The authors were incredibly honest about their journey as new parents. I started reading this during my lunch break at work and found it impossible to put down. I highly recommend it.” – Jane, Engaged to be married
