Take the wins whenever and however they come! The things you don’t plan are always the best

Thank you so much for this! My wife is going to be induced with our first in about 2 weeks. This is a good lesson to take in right now.

Whoa! To quote Mike Tyson (IRT this piece and so much else about parenting babies): "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

Good luck to the both of you! You have no idea the amount of love you're about to feel.

Love this post. Sometimes the no plan produces results one can't expect. Happy accidents are the best.
