If you have parents with a healthy relationship, you don't learn that you don't have to be married. I thought being a healthy adult meant you had to have a spouse. I didn't know any different.

The beautiful thing about baseball is that anything can happen. It's like life in that way. As soon as you think you have it all figured out, something happens that makes you realize - you know nothing. The only thing that's guaranteed is that it will be an exciting ride.

I deal with postpartum feelings by reaching out to mom friends. I became very close with some of the women in my prenatal yoga class.

I think we're in a time when everyone's afraid to have sex. But I was raised being beautiful and healthy.

I think we're in the time when the metaphysical world is so interesting.

I took prenatal yoga three times a week, including the morning I went into labor. It helped me stay comfortable.

I'm a big believer in, no matter what you go through in life, as long as you can laugh your way through it, you're going to be okay.
