Thoughts Before Twins

Every time I show up to a zoom call: you’re still here!!!

I feel that way too. When I found out we were having twins, on top of a bunch of other variables, I expected an early arrival, clearing my calendar as far ahead as October. But here we are, looking like we’ll actually get all the way to our due date.

Maybe by posting this I’m jinxing that, but Deanna wouldn’t mind if that’s the case.

There are two people I love more than I’d ever imagined. One of them just showed up a little over two years ago, and now, that population is about to double.

I think of how Rhys is my guy, and how much I love seeing him do what he does and how willing I am to fight for him. Then I think about how there are going to be these two others that I love like that, but also in a way that’s very much unique to them.

If love is a guiding principle, then I guess one of the things worth noting is that it isn’t zero-sum. It’s abundant. There’s always room to expand without being stretched thin. It’s one of the best invisible things in life!
