Delyth says: ‘We feel blessed every day.’ Nova, I want you to know that all of those thoughts are completely normal for anyone, but to be a pregnant man… was not something that I felt particularly OK with. Days went on and I was in a constant head space of not being sure what to do and making sure that we made the right decision.
