Nine Going on 10 A trio of UNO grads — Natalie Guenther (2000, BS), Celeste Snodgrass (1995, BS) and Kim Schenkelberg (1997, BS) — live in Omaha and have written a book, “It’s Really 10 Months: The Glow of Pregnancy and Other Blatant Lies.” The book is an entertaining and informational guide for pregnant moms— with lots of laughs along the way. The three friends — who all became pregnant at the same time — also are social workers and all worked in the obstetrical units of hospitals. They include commentary from a medical professional to explain areas of particular concern to new moms.
