Thanks for the comment. My wife and I are both Christians. Abortion is not a course of action that we will take unless it is the last resort. I have forgotten to mention one important fact in my initial post. During the last pregnancy, we almost lost our second son at birth. He was born naturally and quickly in a breech position (i.e. legs came out first). Fortunately, the specialist was very experienced and revived our second son after he stopped breathing. I don't want to relive the trauma. That's why I am worried. I don't want my wife to risk her life too.
To be honest, I won't discuss over the decision with my children if yet to decide But inform them only. 佢地咁细,—個生命怎可能聽佢地講。 我會试探佢地口風, 用以日後向他们交代和教育的部署。但我若決定要(in fact not needed To decide ) , 我會逐部教他们去接受和我们分享喜悦。這件事上,你要謹慎,今天你俾他們看到你在生命上的決擇,他朝他們也.....
Your wife is not yet 40, sounds still okay for fertility. if children are in public School, then you have less financial burden. Yes bringing up a new born is challenging than in the past, so pray To your lord and ask for courage and strength. I have two children same as your two ages. I can understand how your wife feels. But please understand her feeling. to her, she may feel even more more stressful..... looking after three children could be worse than working in a full time job. 又擔心功課,又擔心老公份工,又要成日唸點save money.
She knows about the post and she doesn't feel upset at all. She is also worried about her own health and whether she is suitable to carry the third baby.
Christianity doesn't say abortion is completely out of question but it should be the last resort. If you don't understand about Christianity, please don't make rude comments about Christians.
If you had use a condom and the baby can still be conceived, don't you think it's God's will??
The second baby come out leg first - to my understanding this was only by chance and not a problem of you wife's health whatsoever.
So your wife wanted you to retire in 10 years and you both worry this third baby is an obstacle, and you elder son has cunning thoughts, and you second son is pessimistic
In this case Abortion is a must to prevent a misfortunate baby to face a really selfish family who at the same time claim they are christian!
If you can't happily welcome this baby and you got all the selfish reasons, please please please don't bring him here! Enjoy your life and drop you conscience, now!

As mentioned in my previous response, we have decided to keep the baby. Yes, we think it's God's will. Maybe God thinks we need the baby to make the family complete. You suggested that abortion is a must in our case because we are one selfish family. You are entitled to your opinion but we don't think we are selfish.
