"Boy or Girl? It doesn't matter as long as it is healthy"

Have you ever really thought about this phrase? I probably said it a few hundred times before my girls where born. So…..what if it’s not? And what if you are saying this in front of the mother of a baby who is not healthy?

I never really thought about it until we had Olivia. Now when I hear people say it or post it I really have to hold my tongue. You will love the child no matter whether or not something goes wrong. I know it's an innocent comment but it makes me think about Olivia and how we wished that for her too.

Of course we all want our babies to be healthy, but sometimes they’re not. But we love them anyway. Right? That’s what mothers do, love their children no matter what.
