    Book: Glass Ceilings & 100-Hour Couples

    I am so excited about one of the books I recently check out from the library. It’s entitled, Glass Ceilings & 100-Hour Couples: What the Opt-Out Phenomenon Can Teach Us About Work and Family.

    I have to confess that I’ve only read the two-page prologue, so this isn’t yet a bona fide recommendation. However, I already have lots of neat ideas swirling around in my head.

    Physical

    Today marks 35 days since the start of my last period. I haven’t been feeling anything too strange, so I have no reason to suspect that I’m pregnant.
