NEW YORK – Heidi Murkoff’s “What to Expect” books, the million-selling series on pregnancy and parenting, will soon be available in audio for the first time.

Audible Inc., the Amazon.com-owned producer and distributor, is releasing the audio editions of three “What to Expect” books on May 7, within a week of Mother’s Day. Murkoff will be the main narrator, and said in a statement Tuesday that recording the audio allowed her to address parents as if she “were right there next to them.”

The three books coming next month are “What to Expect When You’re Expecting,” ”What to Expect the First Year” and “What to Expect Before You’re Expecting.” With the rise of digital technology, audio has been the fast-selling segment of the publishing industry over the past few years.

$60M, six-storey Harbourview Terrace due to open in June 2028

They donned high-vis vests and brandished shovels with gold-coloured blades Friday morning at the ceremonial groundbreaking for a multi-family residential development in northeast Winnipeg.

Concord Projects has started construction of Harbourview Terrace, the inaugural development by two-year-old real estate company Foxhill Properties. Located in North Kildonan at 1820 De Vries Ave., the $60-million, six-storey apartment building will contain 179 units.

Founder and president Frank Koch-Schulte, who runs the company with his wife Alisha, said Foxhill wants to develop and manage properties with integrity.

“This is kind of like my opportunity to try to do things our way, which I feel is a way that keeps tenants in mind,” Koch-Schulte said. “We live in this neighbourhood. We’re very much invested in seeing quality housing go here.”

Deflated over mate’s hate for renovated pate

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I kind of lost it recently with the hot weather and all the sweating, so I had my barber buddy completely shave off my thick head of hair.

Right away, I loved the cool feeling and thought it really looked good with my silver earring.

But when I came home that evening with my new look, my wife said it looked terrible and freaked her out.

Then she really went too far and said I’m now “all nose, with beady little eyes and a big mouth.” I had no idea she didn’t like my face anymore. I’ve never been considered an ugly man, but is that how my wife sees me now? At least other women don’t think so.

Horrors. Is Donald Trump correct? I think so. The bans on U.S. liquor are discriminatory. How could they be anything else? Provinces don’t ban alcohol from any other country.

Football kept Bombers’ Jaworski going while recovering from car crash

Taylor Allen 4 minute read Yesterday at 7:17 PM CDT

Instead of gearing up for his first full season of CFL football, Matt Jaworski was in a hospital bed wondering if he’d ever get to play again.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive end was in a serious car crash in March and has several scars on his face — which he pointed out to reporters on Sunday — to prove it.

The 23-year-old from Buffalo, N.Y., was placed on the retirement list in May. Over the weekend, the Bombers signed him to the practice roster.

“I appreciate Winnipeg taking me back and I’m ready to go,” he said after practice.
