Don Celadina recently reviewed the comic over at his Tumblr blog. Thanks, DCel, for the kind words!

When I got back from
KOMIKON, the first book I read was the last one I picked-up: Mark
Rosario’s “My Wife Is Pregnant”. I’ve seen Mark’s strips posted on
Facebook and it really was amusing. It made me smirk or LOL in front of
the screen, disturbing the peace of our office.
I was excited when I heard that Mark planned to leap into indie
publishing by making those strips into a full-pledged comic book. “An
Authobiographical Comic Book”. It was right there on the cover. I
should’ve known that this wouldn’t just be a humorous and sometimes
self-depracating take on his road to fatherhood. What Mark made was a
“love letter” to his wife and kid.
Keep it up Mark and start writing/making the second installment. I am
sure dad’s and expectant parents will enjoy your work. I DID. And my “wife” isn’t even pregnant.

Jumper Cable Reviews "My Wife Is Pregnant"
EK Gonzales of the Jumper Cable blog reviewed My Wife Is Pregnant comics.
Thank you very much for the awesome review, EK!
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I can’t remember how I first heard or read of this little webcomic series. Friends managed to convince him to finally release the strips as a compilation.
As the title says, these are the adventures of a young couple, Markus and Ligaya (Mark and Joy in real life), first as newlyweds and then in having their first baby. The adventures are rendered with clean and cute drawings. (In the online version it has simple but nice digital coloring.)
In neither its concept or its execution is this little series remarkable. It’s in warmth and heart that it is. This is more the story of true love played out in real life, in all its daily annoyances and absurdities. This is the story of two people learning to love each other more and more as each day passes, playing off each other and sacrificing for each other. This is a series that knows how to laugh at itself, and at its author. It’s a series that doesn’t hide the imperfections of itself and of the couple it presents. Rather it celebrates it, and the fact that love isn’t perfect, but you make it your own.
Every OB clinic’s waiting room should have this among its reading material (you can finish it while waiting to be called in for a consult), to help first-time husbands understand how they can best be helpful to their wives. The tips are humorous but heartfelt and honest. But it’s most memorable for being a personal view at what it’s like. If they can get through it, so can everyone.
