Our little turkey!

Today was Livia’s first Thanksgiving! The doctor was pretty sure that she wasn’t going to arrive before Thanksgiving…boy was he wrong! We had such a great day spending time with our family. A few of my friends came by to see Livia which made it an even better day! Livia was so good around everyone...she was definitely the center of attention! Trying to find clothes to fit our baby is so hard! I knew she had to have a Thanksgiving outfit, but I was limited on time! Like always my best friend Samantha came through for me! She had Dana Walker monogram a onsie with the cutest little turkey on it…Samantha was upset because Dana couldn’t fit Livia’s name on the onsie because it was so small…but that didn’t bother me one bit…I was just thankful Livia had a cute little Thanksgiving onsie to wear! We are so thankful for our family, friends, and especially our new baby girl! Thank you God for choosing us to be her parents…we are forever grateful!
Our first Thanksgiving as a big happy family!

Cody and I are choosing to share Lera’s story to hopefully encourage others that may have a similar journey and help change the way the world views Down Syndrome! At 11 weeks our OB at the time noticed a thickened nuchal fold and suggested we do a genetic blood test. Honestly, we didn’t believe anything would be detected with our baby, we were just looking forward to finding out the gender so early. The results came back, and the screening detected a 76% predictive value for Trisomy 21. Definitely not something we ever expected. And the way it was presented to Cody and me made us leave the appointment scared, confused, and in denial of the results we had just been given. We cried, we were mad, we prayed and processed and prayed some more. We shared the results with our closest family and friends and just like us, they prayed over our baby daily. After t...
