Emma King shared a quote “This baby is real. You’re real. And what you want matters. They don’t get a vote. Not in how much you’re going to love this baby. Not in what kind of mother you’re gonna be. You’ve always been stronger than you think. You’re Claire... You just forgot because everyone keeps telling you who you’re supposed to be instead of appreciating you for who you are.” Emma Jane King
