How has being a mom changed your personal style?

Being a mom has made me more of a bum than ever before! Comfort over everything. 

What's your favorite time of day with your family?

My favorite time of day with my family is the morning when Alec has had his first feeding and is wide awake and we wake dad and all lay in bed together.

How do you decide which priorities to focus on at the moment?

My main priority right now is just to take care of baby Alec's every need! At only 3 wks old and while I am off work, that's what it's all about.

What has been the best parenting advice you've been given?

The best parenting advice I've been given is to take naps whenever possible!

What do you do that is just for yourself?

This sounds odd but the thing I do that is just for myself is clean. I hate clutter and find cleaning kind of therapeutic and simply love a clean house.

Was childbirth everything you expected it to be? 

Childbirth was the most painful thing I've ever gone through at times and then easier than expected at times (thanks epidural). But the whole thing was more amazing than ever expected... such a miracle.

What did you feel holding your baby for the first time?

When they first handed Alec to me I felt emotions I've never felt before! I was just overwhelmed with love, gratefulness, and tears, and loved sharing it with my husband and my mom.
