Pete and Chasten Buttigieg welcome twins

[MaryP]

Cool beans! I suppose Chasten will take on the lion's share of caregiving since he only teaches part-time and probably can afford to take a year off.

What a lot to take on! Twins? I can hardly imagine being first time parents to two at once! Pete's gonna have bags under his eyes for awhile.

I wish them much joy.

While I am happy for them and wish nothing but the best for them and their child, I am not sure why they are in a hospital bed. Seems like a weirdly staged photo op.

One of my best friends recently adopted a newborn and never had a hospital room. That is the only experience I have with adoption. So maybe it is normal and I just don’t get it.

Doesnt really change anything just seems strange to me.

For some reason that was my first thought: what a weird photo op in a hospital bed...

But yeah, super happy for these two and adoption is awesome. This is the kind of news America needs right now.

Twins must be an order of magnitude more work than a single baby. (as a surprise twin...)

My friends daughter adopted a baby recently and she and her husband were at the birth with and her husband cut the cord. Might be hard for some to get their head around.....but it is never going back

Cutting the cord and revealing the gender of our child to my partners is an amazing experience that I will cherish my entire life.
