I’ve had a few people ask how I’m feeling, so here’s the lowdown: I’m still sick but not throwing up as much. My midwife convinced me to go on Zofran. I don’t like to take any meds while pregnant, but I decided to give it a try. It’s pricey, so we opted for the genericRead the whole post >>

Should We Find Out the Baby’s Sex?

Okay, so I was pretty much set on not finding out the baby’s sex this pregnancy (we found out with both the girls ahead of time) and letting it be a big surprise on D-day.

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
