Parenting

"I had one job that was important to me, and that job was to raise my tiny humans. I wanted to do it really well, better than anything else I tried in life, but sometimes I felt as if my children deserved better than the lot they had been given when they got me as a mom."

"I’ve heard it. You’ve heard it. Maybe you’ve said it. You know someone. I know someone. Maybe you know 10 someones. And yet saying it is seriously not cool."

“What was I so busy with? Why was I stressed? Why didn’t I just ENJOY them more?”

"5 minutes before I took this picture we were all asleep. No alarms were going off."

“'It’s an 89,' I said. Immediately his eyes filled with tears. Then I ripped it in half."

"Miscarriage is not the most popular topic of conversation. I’m still struggling to understand why, given that around 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage."

"Then I turned back, looked at my wife and little girl and it hit me like a ton of bricks..."

"She's reminded every moment of every day that she's carrying a baby that will die."
