The PLAN by Kendra Adachi is a NO for me. The feminist rage was just off the chart here, in addition to the inception of acronym and list within acronyms and lists, it was just so much here, yet nothing at all. I guess that's what happens when you try to market a book to everyone?

Our fourth trimester is coming to a rapid end soon, and I wanted to share the experience and what it was like the fourth time around. What was easier, what was harder, and all the beautiful messy things in between. And what life is like with four kids under six years old.

Our fourth baby is here! We delivered her at a birth center at 40+1 weeks. It was an uncomplicated delivery up until the tail end, overall a very positive experience.
