00:00So today is my last day of maternity leave and I go back to work tomorrow and I just

00:10I feel like I haven't had enough time with them. I know I got longer than a lot of women get

00:22with three months, but it just doesn't, I just don't feel ready physically and mentally.

00:33I feel like there's like so much that you think that you are going to do on maternity leave.

00:43You're going to accomplish so many things and do so many things with your babies and then

00:51here I am at the end and I'm like, I didn't do any of that, but I feel like I did do a lot of this and

00:59that's one of the most important things. I think the hardest part is it's just,

01:06it's such an abrupt change that you're with your babies all the time and then

01:12you pick them up from daycare and you might just get a few hours

01:17with them. So that's just such a, it's such an abrupt change and it's really hard.

01:25I also love my career. Um, I am proud of what I, I do, but, um, there's always that mom guilt of

01:35you're not giving enough time to your kids. Um, but you can't do it all. Um, you can't give a hundred

01:43percent to everything. I think that's something important to remember.

01:48I just feel so honored to be their mom and to have gotten the past three months with them. So

01:56um, I'm really grateful for that, for all the working moms out there.

02:05You're amazing. Um,

02:08yeah, you can't do it all, but you're doing the best that you can

02:14for your kids and that's all that matters.
