😌🍼👋 Byeee! 

But truly, showing up and making it to this microgravity science campaign & crew training opportunity was so important to me. I’m so grateful that I had the choice and that I was able to make it work but I’m even MORE grateful that I have the flexibility now to do what I need for my body and family and take the second part of my maternity leave this summer. (Taking the kids and disappearing in Vermont 🫶) And I CANT WAIT. 

Shout out to shawnapandya , spacenorah , and begmathyk for being the best teammates and the best sports and always looking out for me. (Also how lucky am I to have female teammates who are OB/GYNs and medical doctors 😅💖)
