Not that I want to share my life story in your comments section but my first was stillborn @ 37 wks. Freak umbilical cord accident. I spent a long time thinking what would have happened if he’d been born a day earlier – after not having enough oxygen for who knows how long. I (had) felt the same way – the world’s over populated & the point of parenting is to get the kids out on their own. When my girl came along it was humbling. I’d been such an ass. And in many ways her DS was easier to accept because the alternative was so very much worse.

[wow. sorry. that's way more sharing than I'm used to!]

Great post Amy! I feel very much the same in that I never thought I could love anything more than my cats, the closest thing to babies I had for most of my life. Then Kayli came along and she is so warm and generous, giving me so much that I feel humbled by my low expectations. How did I ever deserve this- I didn’t I was just lucky.
