"Do you guys want more kids?"

Yes. But... Now, I need to be really clear here that I know that expanding your family can be a very difficult topic for many people other than us. So many different situations can lead to pregnancy, childbirth, having kids, etc. being very difficult topics to talk about and/or go through. This post is by no means saying how others should handle or feel about expanding their family.  This is where we are at in our story. Yes, we want more kids. And just being able to say that is a lot of growth from where we were. I used to say “I don’t know” to this question and I just couldn’t picture it.  Right after Leo was born, I told God he had robbed me of having more kids. With Leo’s brain injury, no forewarning of it, and no explanation, I couldn’t fathom having more kids. I had just experienced one of the most empowering things in my life--labor--and was now wading through painful muck. I kept on replaying labor in my head. It genuinely felt a bit like I was going to wake up from a bad dream
