Introduce myself

Hi everyone! Nice to meet you guys. Can’t believe it has been almost half a year since I joined in this community. I’d really to hear your stories! I’m currently based in Los Angeles, hope to meet with some of you when Momcozy holds another event in Beverly Hills!

Here is my story…

I’m a mom, but I’m also a mathematician with a math PhD. Before becoming a mom, my daily life is solving complex problems, building my career.

When I became a mom, I found that none of my old formulas seemed to work anymore. :joy:My days became a mix of feeding, pumping, diaper changes, and trying to understand baby. Math problems have only one correct solution, but every baby is different. There is no correct answer for taking care of the baby!

But then I realized that motherhood didn’t erase the woman I was before. It simply added a whole new dimension to her. I found myself more patient. I was able to slow down and talking with baby with “da da da” :smiley: Now I can be the mom who spends her day taking care of a tiny human, and the woman who loves math, learning, working, dreaming, and having goals of her own. :heart:

Every baby is SOOO DIFFERENT! Then you think you have it figured out and then go through a sleep regression or teething hits etc. :joy:

A math PhD! That is so impressive. Your line about how ‘math problems have one correct solution, but every baby is different’ is such a brilliant, real observation. Motherhood really does add a whole new dimension rather than taking anything away. So glad you’re part of this community! :growing_heart:

“When I became a mom, I found that none of my old formulas seemed to work anymore” I truly did laugh out loud - fun pun :slight_smile: it is great to meet you on this deeper level!!

You’re right about that! There’s no perfect formula because every baby is so different! It truly is amazing how motherhood changes you.
