Author Alexa Stevenson had spent most of her life preparing for the wrong disasters. When her daughter is born 15 weeks early, she is plunged into the strange half-light of the Newborn Intensive Care Unit, where she learns the Zen of medical uncertainty and makes the surprising discovery that a worst-case scenario may just be the best thing thatrsquo;s ever happened to her. The absurdities of the medical system, grappling with mortality, and coming into onersquo;s own are all explored in this wryly heartfelt memoir. From the indignities of infertility treatments to managing bed rest and parenting a preemie (how does one wrangle an oxygen tank while changing a diaper?), Alexa recounts her rocky road to motherhood with a uniquely sharp, funny, yet poignant voice.160;
