CNN's Abby Phillip: 'I Don't Want Motherhood to Change Me Too Much'

“You only get your first one once, so I’m going to take that time, spend it with her and nurture her until she watches me go back to work and learns that mommy has a job,” says Phillip.

Phillip and Richardson have been together for 10 yearsand married for three, and she doesn’t intend on changing their solid framework even with a new addition to the family.

“From the beginning, Marcus knew he was dating a journalist who was attached to her phone and working seven [days] a week. He always took that in stride. We’ve put a lot of time and effort into our relationship,” she says, adding, “I don’t want motherhood to change me too much.”

“I’m a believer in bringing your child along with your life,” shares Phillip. “I want to keep doing the things that I normally do, working and traveling, seeing friends and going out and having a glass of wine.”

The Harvard grad says, “Being a mom has felt so natural. It’s the most important responsibility that I have.”
