Tell us a little bit about your pregnancy journey or becoming a mom yourself.

After getting married, I was anxious to have a baby immediately, but we waited for 5 years and I am grateful for that time with my husband to establish a foundation for our marriage. I was lucky enough to have smooth pregnancies and deliveries. However, after my son was born and taking him home, we had to return to the hospital because he had jaundice and needed 24-hour care for several days. During his hospital stay, I had several medical professionals advise me to not remove him from his incubator and therefore, not breastfeed or hold him. I refused their advise, understanding that our physical connection/bond/touch would also contribute to his recovery. I am proud and grateful that I was an advocate for myself and my child.

My daughter Becca – 24 years old, graduated college and law school and currently waiting for her CA bar results, interested in working for the District Attorney’s office and my son David – 19 years. old, currently a sophomore at SDSU (my husband’s and my alma mater), studying business.
