 “We’re not first-time parents anymore. I feel more confident about having a newborn, all of those things that I just had zero confidence about with Olympia because I’d never even been around babies at that point in my life. We’re also obviously taking every precaution and doing everything we can to make sure everything goes smoothly for Serena.”
