I was quite excited when the FedEx man stopped by my house today—to drop off a copy of my book
The book officially comes out April 1, so I had been wondering how soon I would get an advance copy. When I saw the truck slowing down I wondered if this was the moment and it was a little surreal to discover it was.
It’s been a very fun afternoon flipping through the book (I got just the one copy) and watching loved ones do the same. My husband is currently in our room reading, and I think the highlight was hearing my nine-year-old tell me he just *had* to bring this to school tomorrow. A very exciting time indeed.

Congratulations, Rachel! What a fun and exciting moment! Can’t wait to read it, even though I don’t have boys. Surely there are a few similarities to girl-raising? I also know some moms of boys, so I’m thinking gifts ....
Congratulations!
I am for sure going to order this book. I am pregnant with #2 (my oldest is a daughter), and although we don’t know the gender of #2, I am convinced that it is a boy. I am surprised at the anxiety I am having when I think about having a boy rather than a girl. So strange.
Can’t wait to read the book!
