I cry more now.
When people ask how life has changed since we found out that Liv was pregnant, I normally shrug my shoulders and tell them it hasn’t – not yet, not really. And that’s true, up to a point. Liv’s more tired, and she can’t really drink when we go to a nice restaurant or have friends over for a BBQ, but we can still do those things. We can sleep in, stay out late, and spend lazy Saturdays on the sofa in our dressing gowns. The daily cadence of life itself – all the routines and practicalities that usher us from one day to the next – will remain comfortable and familiar for a little while longer.
And that’s great. But we have changed. I have changed.
I cry more now.
