Runway Moms Q & A

Stork Magazine, January 2007

1- What was one of your favorite childhood memories?
My favorite childhood memory was my first family vacation to Disney World, where I met Princess Jasmine. During my college years, I got a part-time job at Disney World, portraying…who else? Princess Jasmine!

2- So, really, when did you fall in love with your husband?
Sitting beside him at a charity event, listening to his great sense of humor, seeing his down-to-earth side, and his true spirituality captured all of my attention long after he said, “Hello.”

3- Now that your pregnancy is over, what unforgettable moment have you shared thus far with your baby?
At two and a half weeks of age, Milan is developing such a sweet personality! She fills our hearts and our home with so much joy that is beyond description. The moments when Scott and I sit together holding her and when she suddenly flashes us a smile, it is so sweet. (Even though we know it is a natural reflex, we still love it!)

4- Are you nursing? If so, what has your experience been like?
Yes, I am nursing and supplementing to try to give her as much of a healthy nutritional start in life. Breast feeding is a challenge but perseverance and knowing the benefits of nursing make it worth while.

5- During your pregnancy, what were you craving? What are you eating now?
I am blessed my husband shared my cravings with me as we both ate chocolate at 2 am. Now I am eating regular meals, and cutting out as much fat and sugar as I can.

6- Now that you have had a baby is it a challenge to schedule a workout? If so, what does it consist of?
Well, right now we schedule ourselves around the baby. I am following the doctor’s recommendation to wait 6 weeks post partum before working out. Currently I am watching what I eat and take short walks.
