Yesterday...

Yesterday was a very long day for me emotionally. I really went back and forth about writing yesterday's post, but I wanted people to know what was going on. I also wanted to record it for my own personal reasons. I, in no way, think that having a baby with Downs would be like "worst-case scenario." But at the same time, nobody wants to hear that their baby could possibly have a disability or a defect. If our baby does have Downs, we will love him or her the same way that we love Sofia. He or she will be our baby, a gift from God. As far as the amnio goes, the only reason I'm considering it is to just have the peace of mind, either way, of knowing before the birth. I know that there are risks, the doctor fully went over them with me. We just need to do what is right for our family. The information we get from the amnio is not going to cause us to end the pregnancy, that is completely not an option. We believe that every child is a gift from God and deserves life. So, with that being said, yes, we are praying for a healthy baby, but we are also praying that the Lord will prepare our hearts if our baby does have Downs.
