Testimonial for Julie Palmisano
Julie was at my wedding. I think her passion to serve moms started when my friend Brittany had her baby, Zachary.
She added Brittany to the ‘milky moms’ FB group and offered her assistance to Brittany several times since Julie WAS a single mom at one time and DID also have a C-section as Brittany did.
When Julie and I talked, it was mostly birth related
We talked about the role of Folic Acid while being pregnant
We talked about ADHD and Adderal, and trying to conceive
She talked about OVL kits and how tracking cervical fluid was much better then the kits
She added me to some FB groups for TTC and showed me diagrams of phases our bodies go through while we rotate through our fluids
Dry phase, sticky phase, creamy phase, and the clear phase (fertility magic)
She shared her own infertility journey with me. In August, I told her we were pregnant
She told me about what to expect at the OBGYNE, Flu shots (delicately) and added me to a group called ‘Natural Birth, Chicago suburbs’
Which was all about pregnancy, birth, and newborn care
When I was ready to return back to work, we debriefed about different bus garages. We talked about car seat set up in the school bus, and breastfeeding in the workplace.
By October 2019
I got the job at Barrington transportation. We talked about snowsuits, keeping babies feet warm inside a cold bus, and the balance of work and family
October 18,2019
We talked about co-sleeping and breastfeeding... how breastfeeding is so demanding and bedtime for the little ones
We shared the frustration of being our daughters human pacifiers and sleep cycles
Then COVID hit and everything changed
julie is an amazing caring person!
