I don’t know if any of you remember, but just over a year ago I did a blog post about Sarah Main, a mommy blogger and PR agent whom I met on an American Airlines flight from New York to Los Angeles.
Sarah was traveling with her son Max to see her family in Santa Barbara. We became fast friends on the flight and were emailing each other from our seats over WiFi. We found it very funny at the time. One minute complete strangers, the next minute email and work buddies.
Fast forward to last week. Sarah assisted HWH PR at a trade show for two days, meeting and greeting the press. The remarkable feat was that Sarah had given birth to her second son, Harrison, just four weeks before. When I first told her about the assignment, she was nine months pregnant. She said that by the time I’d be needing her she would be in great shape, ready to leave home to spend some time with her peers. Let me remind you we’re talking a month after giving birth.
Sarah showed up at CE Week ready to work. I kept telling everyone she had given birth just a few weeks ago, but I don’t think anyone believed me. She was so involved with my client and the press you would have thought she didn’t have a care in the world.
I finally couldn’t stand it any longer. “Sarah, I don’t get it,” I said. “Aren’t you at all concerned about what’s happening at home?” Then she told me a shocker. “I know exactly what is going on: every feeding, every diaper change, every “movement” (even the color, sorry), the naps, the baths, etc. You name it, I know it!”
I didn’t see Sarah make one call to check on the new baby. Then she told me her secret weapon which, according to her, is all the rage with working moms. It’s called Baby Connect. Sarah demonstrated it for me and drew a crowd, even from daddies nearby, since everyone is looking for a way to keep an eye on their baby all the time.
