Balancing pregnancy, motherhood, and work is not for the faint of heart. There’s morning sickness, endless tasks, and that delicate act of squeezing work into moments of calm.

My morning kicks off around 6:30-ish when my little one wakes up. First, I feed her, change her diaper, and we play together for a bit. These early-morning snuggles are some of the sweetest, even if I\u2019m not fully awake yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 6:50, reality often hits in the form of morning sickness. Not gonna sugar-coat it; this part is tough.
