Sadly missing from the reunion were all the guys, namely Stephen. At least they indulged us and reunited<\/a> on their own for a friend\u2019s wedding earlier this year. Maybe Trey, Dieter and Stephen (still so dreamy) had a drama-free weekend in Cabo (you know, without the legendary Stephen-Kristin tiki bar meltdown).

At the time, hearing the doctor tell us that all of her limbs were \u201cdeformed, misshapen and in some cases missing bones altogether\u201d was a gut punch that knocked the wind out of us. I literally couldn\u2019t breathe as I sobbed with my face buried in my hands.

It\u2019s strange to look back at that ultrasound appointment now and realize how differently I view the entire situation. Yes, my daughter\u2019s limbs are quite different \u2014 thus the common term used to describe her disability as having \u201climb differences.\u201d Her left arm stops above the elbow \u2014 a short round nub. Her right arm is a little longer, but still short with no elbow and a small, atypical hand. Her legs are also both shorter, and different lengths at that, but she does have two feet, which she uses for most fine motor skills like writing and assembling lego spaceships. Yes, the doctor was correct about her limbs, but other than that, he didn\u2019t tell us a damn thing!

Ultrasound machines are not \u201cfuture predicting machines.\u201d If that ultrasound had been really accurate our appointment might have gone something like this:
