“So oftentimes, Lili still naps, she gets picked up early and she naps, she only has a half day in preschool,” Meghan continued. “So, if she wakes up and she wants to find me, she knows where to find me, even if my door is closed to the office. She’ll be sitting there on my lap during one of these meetings with a grid of all the executives…I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
