Children Quote by Armin A. Brott
““When my wife got pregnant with our first child, I was the happiest I’d ever been. That pregnancy, labor, and the baby’s birth was a time of incredible closeness, tenderness, and passion. Long before we’d married, my wife and I had made a commitment to participate equally in raising our children. And it seemed only natural that the process of shared parenting should begin during pregnancy.””

![“~I got pregnant, and I was like, 'Oh God, it worked! Oh no!' Chris [Ivery, her husband] and I were super happy, then I got terrified! Will I know how to do everything right? Of course, nobody does everything right, but as long as your baby is the priority, that's the best you can do.~” quote by Ellen Pompeo](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/99d/ellen-pompeo-10756_baby_i-got-pregnant-and-i-was-like-oh-god-it_131330.jpg)
