Before You're A Mom You

I Always Wear High Heels.

When I Was 8, My Favorite Toy Was A Stapler. My Brother Was Afraid Of Me.

As Comfortable As I Was With My Adoption, The Nature-versus-nurture Question Has Been A Big One For Me. I Adore My Parents, But I Always Wondered If I Would Feel A Different Kind Of Love-not More Or Less, Just Different-for Someone Who Was Biologically Related.

I Always Felt My Emancipation Into Truly Being A Grown-up Was When I Had To Figure Out How To Fold Up A King-size Fitted Bottom Sheet On My Own.

It's A Reality That In This Business There's An Expectation Of Being Thin. But Having A Baby Is A Reality Too, And It's More Important For Me To Make Milk Than To Fit Into Those Tiny Pants. So That's Just Going To Have To Wait.
