Motherhood will be a cinch! Organized idealist Sarah prepares to give birth for the first time just like she managed her teaching career--with optimism and color-coded charts. After all, how hard can it be? When breastfeeding doesn't work like a charm and medical issues keep cropping up, Sarah must reconcile her rosy expectations of motherhood with reality. There's joy and wonder, but also spit-up and stitches. Not to mention she's totally incompetent at diapering. As she navigates one crisis after another during her baby's first year, she gradually regains her confidence and grows to accept motherhood as it is instead of how she thinks it should be. Honest, raw, and witty, this memoir-in-verse is the perfect companion for a new mom.
