“I think it needs to be shared more how the hard parts of becoming a parent shape you into a new, even better version of yourself. That even when it is hard to see it when you are in the thick of it becoming a new parent, you will come out the other side stronger. I felt alone a lot of the time so maybe hearing that, I would have felt less alone.” - Whitney, mom of multiples
