make decisions on behalf of anyone and everyone, which we do, but we have this like- Because we're forced to really. We're forced to. But yeah, that's hard to have four of the same gender to try to come up with names. Although Wyatt is such a cute name and now it's like we can pick from the boys' names, you know, Charlie, Wyatt.
I am actually really looking forward to it. I feel... So my daughter is... Four and a half. So she'll be almost five when the next baby is born. So I think she'll be really helpful. Me and my husband just celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary. So it's kind of weird having our second child after we've been married for 10 years. That's not typical. So I think that we are overdue.
I will say that...
Which is great. I mean, they just need to have a task and it's perfect. And they feel like they're with you, but then still being helpful. Yes.
So I think that it really started last offseason. Well, actually, let me back up. After the last World Cup in 2019, winning that World Cup, I was like, okay, I'm still pretty young. I still have a lot to give, but I'm happy with where I am. And I could not step on the soccer field again if... I'm injured or I don't come back from having a baby and feel myself.
So that's when we decided to have a baby. And then I did feel good and I missed it when I was pregnant. So I came back, played in the Olympics that was delayed a year and then the World Cup in 23. And at that point, I was just like, I don't know that there's much more that I can give. And I don't know that there's much more that I'm going to get. I've fulfilled everything I've wanted to do.
I'm at a point now where there's a lot of other things that interest me. I'm building businesses off the field. I'm really busy. And... we're settled in San Diego and we're so happy. So throughout the off season, I was this last off season. I was like, okay, this is going to be my last year, I think.
And then me and my husband had like two bottles of wine one night and we just like, I just was super honest. And I think it was just like an epiphany. I was like, yeah, this is, this is it. Like, this is the last year, like regardless of what happens, I want to go, of course, I want to try to go to Olympics. I want to try to win a championship.
I want to do all the things, but it doesn't really matter what happens throughout the season. I'm done no matter what. Um, so I kind of just made that like commitment to myself. Um, And, you know, a lot of things didn't go planned. Baby also being part of that. It's weird to say I got knocked up after being with my husband for 17 years.
So that was that was interesting to have a surprise pregnancy, but it like all worked out perfectly. And at the end of the day, I'm just so happy with the way that everything was meant to go down.
Yeah, it did definitely feel like I was trying to take in every moment and remember the small things a little bit more. And it's hard to say enjoy them more because I feel like I was in a constant state of stress and anxiety just with the two teams and anxiety.
not really have having told anyone that i was going to retire i didn't want to say it too early because then i didn't want it to be this like whole big retirement tour um so it was it was like this big dark secret um in a way uh but i was also trying to just take everything in like one last time like by myself or with my family that knew um and the plan was always to then
announce my retirement when I did, it was just not to announce my retirement and play my last game like three days later because I had a, um, because I was three months pregnant. So that was kind of like the curve ball in this all.
Um, but it was really nice like having that time knowing like this is a last, like regardless and, um, just soaking it all in and knowing that like, this is a lot of what I knew for the last like 15 years and, And a lot of change was coming. And so I think I did pretty well to prepare myself for that. But regardless, it was way more emotional than I expected. I'm not really an emotional person.
I don't cry a lot. I don't show a lot of emotion. I don't know if that's because of sport or what. But I just feel like for a week, I would break down in the car by myself just crying. And not like a bad cry, just kind of like... Had to release it. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
I was playing, yeah, after like three. Yeah.
Well, I, you know, just having talked to a lot of other female athletes that I've been through it, we all have our own journeys, um, you know, birth and complications or not. And then, you know, trying to do everything and wanting to be with your baby, but then also getting back to getting your body back to where it needs to be. So that was... That was tough for sure.
And then the Olympics were delayed and I was like, oh, I can actually go to the Olympics now that I didn't miss it because of COVID. So then I moved to London when my daughter was four months old because that was the only league that was up and running really during COVID because the U.S. League wasn't up and running. So my husband...
regretfully told me, you should go just like play some games in England. And I was like, that's such a good idea. I should go do that. And three days later, I was on a flight to England. And my husband was like, wait, what? I was like, kind of joking. No, I went and I... like he was playing too in Florida. And so that was tough. But this time around, it's like so much different.
And I'm really excited for the difference of the two pregnancies and births and just like infant stage because I actually get to spend way more time with the baby. But going through the first months of pregnancy this time around were so rough because I was getting like crazy migraines, like super nauseous, so tired.
