“You wake up with endless gratitude every day, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that it is hard work,” she explained. “And the lack of sleep is something that is a constant and makes everything feel all the more challenging. But, I think, it’s just having grace for ourselves as parents and as humans and recognizing that each day is going to present its own challenges, but its own immense joy as well.”



“I jumped back into working a lot sooner than I thought I was going to be, and so I felt lucky that I have the ability to have Ozzie come with me to work so I can continue to nurse him,” she said, noting she was also fortunate to be able to bring Gus onto theThis Is Usset when he was younger.
“It’s definitely overwhelming, sort of juggling the schedules and feeling like you are giving all to both kids and working on top of it,” she said. “But we’re figuring it out and recognizing that every day is going to look different.”
