mom to Max (2 ½ years) & Katie (5 months)
I am a mother of two and work full time as an OB/GYN Physician. Finding balance between being a mom, wife and doctor has been a big challenge. I feel very lucky that I love my job and I get to come home to my amazing kids every day. I wish I had more time in the day but as it is, I’ve had to prioritize. I never regret putting my kids and family first. Watching my children grow, develop and explore has been amazing. It is so rewarding when my baby smiles at me or when my 2 year old says, “Mommy, I love you”.
Going back to work after my second child was stressful because I was starting a new job. I had a big decline in my milk production with the new stress, schedule, etc. My friend gave me milkmakers – YUM and WOW! milkmakers work wonders. My production improved so much that I pump less often but make more milk and feel good about what I am doing.
