Ep 14 - Unplanned Parenthood: Starting a family before we wanted to THE PEGLEG PODCAST: Parables for the Soul
-
- Society & Culture
When Laura told me the news, she looked afraid.
I could sense that she simultaneously wanted to fall into me for comfort and yell at me with resentment. She did neither of those things. Instead she became distant and stoic.
We didn’t plan it. I hadn’t really even thought about becoming parents. We had only been married a few months, and that in and of itself was kind of hard. We were best friends, but all this change was very difficult for us.
This is the story of that time in our lives, and the introduction to our first daughter, Genevieve.
It's a story that feels vulnerable to share, but it's important. We learned a lot.
Plus, the experience I talk about here inspired a children's song that is shared at the end of the episode.
