“I often forget that I have one arm. But when I think about it, like, a squirming baby and changing a diaper, just me and this squirming baby, it could be really challenging. But it’s how I live life now, I just adjust and adapt to different things. Especially things that are easier with two arms. I think there are things that are going to be very challenging with one arm, but I’ll just have to find my own way to take care of the baby.”
