My second daughter is due in about three weeks.
My sister was laughing about my daughter drawing all over the living room with her new markers and she asked me if I was ready for double trouble. I'm ready for all of it, but the thing that kills me is double the worry. Worry is the shadow of love for your child, because the world is very often dirty, dangerous, and/or evil.
I was just watching my wife propel her pregnant self around the living room last night. She was picking up toys and trying her best to tidy up behind my little indoor hurricane. I stopped her and just told her all the reasons I thought she was strong and awesome and how glad and lucky I was to have married her.
There's something very magical about a pregnant woman who's very concerned about the pregnancy and loves and cares for the new arrival very much. She's warm, wise, and has infinity in her eyes.
This is a big month.
