Once he's old enough to have other kids ask about the scars teach him to tell people it was from a bar fight.We have 3 (G9, B4, B1). We were planning on 4 but #3 was born with a congenital heart defect (Tetrology of Fallot) that has so far required 2 open heart surgeries, multiple heart caths, and a litany of other prosecutes. He’s 15 months old now and a happy little dude. Docs say he’s recovered great and should be able to live most of his life like a normal kid (with annual visits to his cardiologist of course and the occasional valve replacement as he grows).
After all that, we decided 3 is enough. I’m snipped.

My niece went through something similar. She is in her 20's now and doing fine.
