For Cottonseed Apparel owners’ Laurenn Rudd and Lizzie Gray, becoming mother’s together this spring was unexpected, but is a shared experience both have welcomed and adapted to since returning to the store in Glen Arbor for the busy summer season.
“It is very meaningful and the business was kind of like our baby, we just love the store so much, so we’re kind of used to coparenting our business, but I would say it was really cool to be pregnant together for one,” Rudd said. “It helped us to be able to be more compassionate and understanding of how each other were feeling because we both didn’t feel great during pregnancy, so we could bond over that.”
“We didn’t have much control when we had our babies,” Gray continued. “We were trying for a while and it just happened that we both got pregnant around the same time.”
