She said, “It helps that other moms had said that once they had their babies, they forgot they were ever pregnant. So once my focus became the baby and not the pregnancy, it was a very easy decision.”

She also shared the “secret” to her and Max’ successful 19-year (and counting!) relationship, saying, “Working together provides a lot of balance in our life and it’s a way for us to [see each other], because I travel so much for work. I have an amazing marriage and it will be long-lasting. I think I’m a good mom.
