Meet Preston!

My blogging career was short lived!  So much has happened since I last posted and that is really the reason I want to start this again!

We had a baby boy!  A wonderful, handsome, glorious baby boy!  His name is Preston and he was lucky!  He was born with an extra 21st chromosome.  I want to elaborate on why we are so happy with how beautiful God has made him just in case someone stumbles upon this blog who is pregnant with a baby who has tested positive for Downs Syndrome.

We found out it was a possibility late, I cried, I worried, I was so sad, I was mad, I hoped for the best, but I decided that no matter what he will be loved!  I have always been pro life and knew all along that whatever baby God blessed me with I would love unconditionally.  That is why I never got the prenatal testing the doctors like to shove down your throat.  I always said that, but to be honest I never though my baby would be anything less than "perfect".  We already had a totally healthy 4 year old daughter.  We wanted to add a little brother or sister to the mix.

We had a plan and we thought it was a great plan....little did we know God had an even better plan for our lives!  One that would change who we are and how we viewed life.  He is only 6 months old as I write this.  I know there are challenges I have yet to face.  Battles I will need to fight.  I don't care!  I am in love with a boy named Preston and I will move heaven and earth for him.  I was chosen.  I was handpicked by God himself to be his Mommy.  I view this as an honor.  All children are blessings, but I received an extra special one.

I am going to commit myself to write more of our story.  The story over the last 6 months and the story that has yet to be told.  I might not know how it will go just yet, but I know that it is going to be a beautiful story about a boy who changed the world!
