Real Motherhood

And Now We Have Everything:  On Motherhood Before I Was Ready
by Meaghan O'Connell
4.5 stars



This short memoir covers the author's pregnancy and the first year of her son's life.  Detailing every feeling, shortcoming and fear, this book examines expectations of that time versus reality.  As a mother of three, I don't think I have ever read a book that just nails the first time experience of pregnancy, child birth and newborn life.  There were so many times in this book that brought be back to those days and my very own insecurities and frustrations.  I highly recommend this book to mothers of all stages.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
