Val & Matty

 So has the past year been exhausting?

VAL: Oh, I never want to go through that again. (she shakes her head) It's been a rollercoaster, but it was worth it. (she sighs) I didn't know having a baby would change me so much. I mean, a part of me feels I've let everyone down and yet to have this baby makes me elated too.

MATTY: I was hoping everything would be OK and I'm glad it's going to be a new year of first for us. I can't tell you how happy I am that the baby is finally here. It did feel like a very long summer of ups and downs. Hopefully, all is better, but you know, when you have a family new things happen too. So many little things that feel major. But I have found you just roll with it. I mean, I can't tell you how far we've come, nor how we even got here. Honestly, I don't want to think about it. (he smiles) You just keep going. But you don't want to miss the little things either. And I'm thankful we have family that can support us. Having a baby it seriously a family thing. And if it wasn't for family, well I don't want to think how hard it could have been.
