“During the longest nights, and darkest days, when ‘impossible’ was the cycling thought I spiraled on, Emily was my comfort, my sanctuary. No matter the question, the need, the fear, or sense of despair, she was there, a beacon of shining light and hope that I would overcome. Motherhood was and is one of the greatest challenges I’ve ever faced, and a large part of that was in the beginning when I was breastfeeding and pumping for my twins. I wanted so badly to breastfeed exclusively. I tried again and again, nipple shields, creams, massagers, lactation bites and all, you name it, I did it. When I felt like I was a failure, Emily gingerly reminded me that I was a warrior that was fighting my toughest battle and persevering. When I felt like I lost because I wanted to pump after being touched out from two barnacle babies who always wanted to be on my breasts, nipples cracked and bleeding, she reminded me to follow what would help all three of us best. When I had a million questions about pumps, flanges, how to store and clean everything, she was a mere text and call away. Feeling broken down and like I couldn’t go on, Emily came to me and held me after I exclusively pumped for three months and helped me find options for donated breast milk and formula that would ease my concerns and fears.  There was no task too great, too complicated, or too vulnerable that she shied away from. Together, we made it through some of the hardest days of my life, and my twins flourished because of the compassion and care she showed me during my early journey of motherhood and breastfeeding with them”
