#Chapter 8 Watch the Children Grow
Evan
The pregnancy was hard on Claudia. She had every symptom you could think of, and she was eager to have our next baby. It was even worse because Claudia didn’t want the boys to feel neglected so every time, she got sick or felt too tired to play she felt like she was being a bad mother.
Her labor was even worse than the boys. I got kicked out of the room because she started hemorrhaging. I’ve never been so scared that I would lose her, there was so much blood, and she was so pale.
The nurse brought out our baby and told me they were doing what they could for Claudia, but they weren’t sure if she’d make it. I held our child in my arms, and I knew in that moment that I was happy with the kids that we have. We don’t need any more for our family, it’s not worth the risk of Claudia’s life.
