Abby Howard and her husband Matt are set to expand their family, welcoming a third baby boy after enduring the heartache of losing their daughter, Emerson. During a recent episode of their “Unplanned Podcast,” Abby opened up about her momentary“gender disappointment”upon learning the baby’s sex, sharing how she briefly hoped for a daughter to add a different dynamic to their family. Yet, that feeling didn’t linger long as the couple quickly refocused on the blessings that come with bringing another boy into their lively household.
Both parents expressed their emotions candidly, revealing that while Matt had wished for a girl for Abby’s sake, he is now just as thrilled to be adding another boy to the mix. After the struggles they’ve faced, their focus has shifted towards gratitude. It’s a reminder that families come in all shapes and sizes, and each new child is a special gift. As Abby aptly put it, their home will soon be buzzing with even more rowdy fun, proving that a house full of boys can be just as fulfilling as they imagine!
