Watching our for Moms
Disclaimer, this is a more serious video I talk about a husbands need to look out for his wife and the mother of their children, because of things like postpartum depression and depression in general.
The Sinner’s Guide To Natural Family Planning by Simcha Fisher – A Review
If you are struggling with NFP and feel like you are all alone out there, this is likely a great book for you. If you have been using NFP for long enough that you know that it is a struggle and that there are other people out there like you, this book might be just more of what you already know.
Happiness and Trepidation
But my wife did something that reminded me that this is a reason to be joyful. She started telling people. She started telling them and letting them know how happy we were. And we are, and I am. So welcome to the world my little one. We can’t wait to meet you.

Closing Doors, Opening Grace
Like Kevin says in his post, Marriage is a vocation, albeit one that a lot of people don’t take seriously any more, but a vocation none the less. It is, in truth no less of a commitment that someone entering the priesthood. Priest’s make sacrifices to be a priest, and married people make similar but different sacrifices to be married.

Besides you have probably heard all of that before.
Returning to Something that Feels like Normal
So I guess this is what normal feels like. Or maybe, this is just what I want normal to feel like. Either way I am happier.
At the Beginning of the Journey
Thank you my dear for my life so far. I hope to have many more happy years with you. I also hope I am a better kisser now than I was that day.
