Life is quieter when Mom doesn't have five pies and sixty rolls to bake. But I'm still going to have a dang hard time keeping up with my tags, I think.
It's really interesting to see
the difference between what Teddy and Victoire want. Or what they think they should be doing to prepare for the baby. Teddy's focused on working hard to make money, and doing his part to provide. He doesn't understand the point of the "baby things," and he doesn't know what Victoire wants, so he's leaving that to her for the most part - although I think he said something a couple months ago about having found curtains, but he obviously didn't show them to her. Maybe he went over to talk to her about them and found she'd already bought something completely different, so he was like, well, it was apparently the wrong choice anyway, so I'd better just stay out of it.
I have heard that men (sometimes) work long hours to show their love, because that work means more money for their families. It seems like that's what Teddy's doing here. And I intended to have him go through a bit of "I'm not ready for this" panic, partly to understand his father better and partly because, well, he's only twenty-five. Of course he's panicking about being tied down, and worried he's not good enough to be a husband and father (even though he has always wanted that... eventually). But it's interesting to see both sides and understand both sides.
