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”

“Fair.”

Maya was discharged the following afternoon.

She weighed four pounds, thirteen ounces.

She looked too small for the car seat.

The nurse adjusted everything twice.

Then again because I asked her.

I had brought three babies home before.

Yet my hands shook when I buckled Maya.
