RE: The Sacrifices We Make

Congratulations!

I don't know how it is for other men but I remember having not a fucking clue about anything children related.

All I knew were movies, 9 months, pop, hey presto, yay! -- I had to do life to figure out the significant trauma that pregnancy can bestow on couples.

The one my wife carried to term wasn't easy -- and by god did she give it her all. At one point we nearly lost them both.

Yet it was thanks to some quick work of doctors both were able to survive and we have an amazing life now.

100 years ago I'd have been single again.

Men, we're never prepared until it happens lol. Kudos to your husband for braving it like a knight in shining armour :)

I didn't even know enough about pregnancy going into it 😅 I always believed every pregnancy went fine unless there were underlying conditions to say otherwise. I recognize now that is hardly ever the case.

I know you and your wife have struggled, and I'm glad to hear you have all made it out onto the other side 🙏 Thank God for those educated doctors, I have immense respect for people who handle the profession delicately.

My husband has been my rock 🪨 he is still only human and can only "put up" with so much, but he's been pulling 110% of the weight, taking our girls out, letting me sleep, cooking meals... The extra help is very appreciated...

Ah life -- it brings such blessings yet also such hardships lol
