She suffered a late term loss and then became pregnant for a 4th time which resulted in her having her twin boys via C-section due to Preeclampsia. She compares her postpartum experiences and what being a working mom to 4 boys under 5 is like. She cites poem “Welcome to Holland” - by Emily Perl Kingsley as a description to what it is like raising children with autism. It is a beautiful, positive and honest journey to motherhood.
