So, you know, luckily I have a great support system. My husband and my mom were helping me around the clock with my daughter, and, you know, they put her on my lap. So when people are wondering, can I do it? I'm a mom. I have a toddler. I have a baby. I think my daughter was six months when I had the surgery. No, she was about to be nine months. Because I was like, okay, I'm going to have to wean off the breastfeeding. You know, I felt comfortable because I knew it was something I needed to do not only for myself, but for my kids. Because I said, I'm not living a good quality of life. How am I going to give my children and my husband the best of me when I'm feeling this way? When I almost dropped my daughter, God forbid. I mean, thank God I did it. But that was just that breaking point.
