“I never expected any of this to be easy or difficult. We just make things work and don't gauge ease or difficulty.”
What is one piece of advice you wish you could offer your former expectant self?
Pack your overnight bag and finish the nursery. Soon enough your kids will be 3 years old and you still won’t have hemmed the curtains or hung pictures.
Who was your biggest source of support in returning to work? What was your biggest pregnancy indulgence?
Ice cream. My best friend for 30+ years sent me 9 pints of ice cream. It was awesome being able to pick a different flavor every night, or just take a small spoonful when needed during the hot summer months.
