“After years of self-improvement and major progress with my anxiety, having a newborn was the ultimate trigger for it all to come rushing back.”
“Oh, God. I was going to have 4 kids, 3 under age 3. How was I possibly going to handle two toddlers AND an infant while coaching our eldest through virtual learning?

“These moments are here to teach us lessons, to break us down and rebuild a stronger version of ourselves. You are a warrior, you are a fighter, you are a survivor.”
“I was saved by a nurse who must have been a mom. I begged her to help me, and told her I have a three-day-old baby at home. She assured me she would get me to my baby.”
“263 lbs, I loaded the stroller and walked 3 miles a day. Rain, wind, or shine.”

“I know you are excited, but remember it is not your right to visit a new baby, it is a privilege.”
“After my boys were born, there were appointments. There were regular pokes and prods. Their well-being was front and center. Then there was me.”
