After 3 Boys, We Gave Up Our Dream of a Daughter—Then My Husband Called Me to the Hospital and Said, “There’s a Baby Here”
But I didn’t want her believing her gender was the reason we chose her.
“Yes,” I said.
“Before you were born, your dad and I once hoped we might have a daughter someday.”
Her eyes brightened.
I continued:
“But that’s not why you’re ours.”
She frowned slightly.
I took her hand.
