Bring On Lemons

I was recently contacted by Natasha LaBeaud Anzures, Ph.D. regarding her new book   PregRUNcy  ; As a runner and mother I thought it would be an interesting read. Thank you to Natasha for providing me a copy to review. Book Blurb: I decided to write Pregruncy as soon as I found out that I was pregnant.
