Cody's first birthday as a daddy!

We went to Nashville this weekend to celebrate Cody's 28th birthday! We had so much fun! Friday we had dinner and visited with Larry and Janet. Saturday Larry and Cody went to Golf Galaxy to spend his gift cards that they gave him for his birthday! Janet, Livia, and I went out for a shopping adventure! We first went to tweed baby outfitters! I love, love, love this store and Maggie! We decided that we would take  Livia back home to the boys, because I didn't bring her stroller. Janet and I went to the Green Hills Mall...I hadn't been to Nordstrom since it opened, so I was anxious to check it out! It was everything I thought it would be!!! I bought Livia a cute comfortable outfit...we then went to the Seven store to get Cody a pair of jeans for his birthday! And it wouldn't have been a complete shopping trip if we didn't stroll through Macy's! Oh how I love the Green Hills Mall and shopping! After we got back home, Cody and I got ready and had our first post baby date night! We ate at J. Alexander's and for dessert we had frozen yogurt from Sweet CeCe's. We ended the weekend with a wonderful dinner...Cody requested that his mom make her yummy manicotti and a white cake with chocolate frosting...and then he opened his gifts from Livia and me...we got him a new pair of jeans, golf shoes, and 4 tickets to the Grizzlies vs Mavericks game! 

Happy Birthday, Cody!!! We love you so much and hope your day was awesome!

Rock Your Socks for Lera {SAVE THE DATE}

Image
We are extra excited to celebrate our first World Down Syndrome Day! Join us as we “Rock our Socks” for Lera!  March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), the day the Down syndrome community creates a single, global voice advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down syndrome.  Every year, on March 21, people all around the world come together to celebrate by wearing brightly colored or mismatched socks.  March 21 is symbolic because people with Down syndrome have 3 copies of their 21st chromosome. Socks were chosen because the karyotype of Down syndrome chromosomes actually looks like mismatched socks!  We believe it is our family’s mission to raise awareness about our precious Lera, and help change the way the world views Down syndrome one extraordinary day at a time!  💛💙 If you choose to “Rock Your Socks” please share your picture with us to document on the blog! This blog will be printed and used as Lera’s baby book. If you choose...

Lera's Gift

                      Meet our precious baby girl, LERA MICHELLE! 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...
