“I remember feeling so nervous, like, "Oh my gosh, am I ready to have a kid?" Arin tells ParentsNeedLove. “And I was talking to my dad about it, and he was like, "Well, did you ever see yourself having kids?" I was like, "Yeah." And he said, "There's your answer, you're ready." I'm like, "Okay." So that was that.”

I think the biggest lesson is that parenting is all about flexibility and being able to not take things personally when people insert their opinions about what you decide for your family.

According to Jessica, taking time to herself is not a want, but a need, and she first started making it a habit before she even gave birth. “I’ve always been a proponent of self-care and after I made a big life adjustment and change, I realized how important is to take care of myself.”
