Six Months After I Had Twins, My Husband Gave Me a “M0tivational” Birthday Gift Then I Learned What He Had Bet on My Body

My name is Claire, and before Noah and Sophie arrived, my husband Daniel and I had what I considered a pretty normal marriage.

Nothing perfect.

Nothing glamorous.

But we laughed together, divided most things fairly, and rarely argued about how I looked.

Then the twins came.

Anyone who has cared for two babies at once knows how quickly your life can stop feeling like your own.

Some nights I slept for forty minutes at a time.
