Our Newest Addition

We are about to have our third child. We don’t know if they are a boy or a girl, but we do know that they have an abnormal hand. Strangely, this discovery made me extremely grateful. Grateful that we already have two totally healthy boys and our third child does not have more serious issues. Grateful that we could have any children in the first place. The more I learned about his/her hand, the closer I felt to them. The more I imagined our family interactions, their older brothers sticking up for them – dealing with anyone who makes them feel bad about how they were born. Our family will be kind and forgiving, but we will protect each other.
