Despite everything, we're having a baby

Life begins with a tiny cell, a minuscule dot inside a fragile shell. The entire universe in one package, containing infinite potential and the wisdom of the galaxy.

The miracle of life also has its more mundane side: heartburn, leg cramps, joint pain, an overprotective instinct, and the first streaks of sweet potato in a baby's daily life. At its best, new life means gratitude for getting to witness the greatest of miracles.

Despite everything, We're Having a Baby tells a beautiful, painful, and hopeful story of longing for a child, pregnancy, and parenthood. The book also gives a voice to others contemplating motherhood and parenthood, and to those questions that don't always have easy answers. It includes touching guest essays about the genesis of life, family dreams, and the many faces of parenthood.
