I'm asked a lot of questions... and a very popular one is " will you have more kids? ".
We always wanted 3, that was our number. I thought it would be 3 girls as there's a serious shortage of boys in the Healy clan!😂  Logan was a huge shock!!

But unfortunately, just like this quote below, my answer is no.
It's the right answer, the sensible choice, but still it's the choice my head had to make and not my heart.
It was the choice myself and Brian made, after coming to the very sad conclusion that another child would just be too much of a risk.

I was pregnant on Logan when Kirsty was diagnosed so we didn't have a choice, he was on his way.💙
But as soon as Logan was diagnosed it became a very real possibility that more children would bring autism with them too.
How could we possibly cope?
And if a third child didn't have autism, would it be fair to them? Would all our time be taken up caring for Kirsty and Logan, and would it automatically fall to them to do so once we no longer could ? We both love babies, and wondered every day what it would be like.
We agonized over these questions but we both knew deep down the answer was there already. So at just 32 years old, a time when many couples are only starting their family plans,  we closed the book on having more kids.

It was the right choice.
And the most responsible one for us.
But not the easiest, and definitely the saddest.😢 Sometimes the head and heart don't reconcile and that's ok. I have days where I feel sad when I see baby bumps and days when I wonder what he/she would have been like... but it wasn't meant to be.
2 is our new number and that's more than enough.😊
