Today (and every day) I'm thankful for the fact that Morgan was able to take parental leave.
I remember the day I woke up and actually felt well for the first time since the babies were born. It was week 7, day 6, which is fortunate, because my employer allowed me to use only eight weeks' sick leave for a C-section. This was not just the first time I felt well since the babies were born; this was the first time I had felt well since February.
I can only imagine how much more exhausted I would have been, and how much longer it would have taken me to recover, if Morgan hadn't also taken leave and done the lion's share of baby care. He didn't just take care of the babies; he took care of me, too. Alice, Katherine, and I are lucky to have him, and I'm thankful.
