My Labor Story (complete with Q & A)
I talked about it, I wrote about it, I griped about it. I feared for the day and lamented the day. I had anxiety everyday for the past two months over it and imagined the worst-case scenario with every article I read about it. Then finally, on April 30th, I lived through it. “It” being …
