Kristen Chase over at Motherhood Uncensored has a wonderful and touching essay up about what can happen to a marriage when one or two or more kids enter the picture:
"Truthfully, the instant my daughter arrived, she took up most of my heart. I moved her over to make room for my son. And I'm only now starting to allow my heart to grow, not just because I'm adding another little one into the mix, but because after pulling myself from the wreckage that has been a very trying past four years, I realize that my husband really does deserve some space of his very own."
The essay got me thinking about the thousand things I do for my own daughter but left me feeling a little queasy when I considered what I've done for my wife lately. It's a nice reminder, as Kristen says, to keep making room.
