In the nine months that Tim and I were waiting for our baby to arrive we joked about all these things we wished for. “I hope he’s a super smart baby.” “He’d better be musical!” “I hope we don’t have a colicky baby and I hope he sleeps through the night!” But at the end of the day, we knew that what we wished for the most was a healthy child – above and beyond all else. Those things you take for granted suddenly become tiny miracles – his little nose, his miniscule fingernails, his voracious appetite.
