When she first got pregnant, Mindy said she felt she could raise Kit on her own, as her mother and father did with her. She wrote that she thought, “If Mom could do it all without a whisper of complaint, then why couldn’t I?”<\/p>\n
However, it dawned on the Office<\/em> alum that she didn’t have her mother around to advise her on the ins and outs of breastfeeding or other seemingly easy tasks, which would later prove to be difficult. So, she hired a baby nurse on the advice of a friend, and it proved to be one of the best decisions she’s ever made.<\/p>\n “I didn’t have my mom. But I did have Rose<\/strong>. Rose loved giving advice, and I loved listening to it,” Mindy recalled, before listing the fears that Rose helped her overcome. “All these fears were the worst I’ve ever had in my life, and Rose helped me keep them at bay. She was my mom when I needed a mom, and that wasn’t even her job.”<\/p>\n Mindy so treasured having Rose in her life that when the baby nurse asked if she’d ever require her assistance again, she said, “I told her I don’t know if I’ll have another baby, but if it meant she would come and live with me, I may just go ahead and do it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
