Chapter 3: Waiting for Baby in the Eye of a Pandemic Storm
It’s hard not to worry. We’re in the midst of a world health crisis and my full-term+ daughter is on the NYC subway heading to her Manhattan elementary school to finalize plans for remote teaching. She is healthy. So is the baby. Thank God.… Continue Reading “Chapter 3: Waiting for Baby in the Eye of a Pandemic Storm”
