We are expecting our second baby girl to arrive in less than two months, and I have spent a significant collection of moments—some fleeting, some lasting for hours at a time; some anxious, some so joyous that I have been brought to tears—considering our little family and what it will mean to add another person to the mix.
Just here to say that this sentence is as magical as raising a magical daughter: “It is a glorious burden to raise Saoirse, to observe without any effort at all that she is obviously precious, and to feel inadequate to the task of living up to who she already is and who I am convinced she is becoming. What a wonder! What a fright!”
Congratulations and peace in these next few weeks!
Multiple little ones are a handful but watching them grow close to each other is really cool. As funny as they can be interacting with Mom and Dad the things you will overhear or learn about after the fact are going to shock you!
So exciting!! We can't wait to meet her!!
This article was so heartfelt and sweet. I know you are a good Dad. Your wife is a good Mom
Just in partnering with you. Your children are blessed.
