"It was a little isolating in the beginning because I didn't have any friends that had babies yet . . . I knew it was the most important, biggest job in the world, but it looks very different once you're just in the household with the baby by yourself all the time."
"I realise now that it's the love you have for your children that makes everything possible — the sleepless nights, the times when you're most scared or stressed, you feel like no one understands you or no one's in the position that you're in. The love you have for your child is so much greater than any challenge you'll face as a parent, and that's what helps you through."
