Viral Instagram Comics Nail the Joy, Pain, and Terror of Being a Mom

Unless you've been living under a rock, chances are you've had a mom friend tag you in at least one of Grace Farris' super-relatable comics about motherhood. Posting under the handle @coupdegracefarris, doctor, cartoonist, and mom Farris has touched on all of those early parenting moments no one really talks about, helping us all feel more seen and less alone.

She's now set to release her first book, Mom Milestones: The TRUE Story of the First Seven Years, which instead of focusing on baby's firsts, it highlights all the milestones for mom.

Here are just a few of our favorites from the new book:
