Lailee's Shower Weekend!

This weekend was great! Both sets of parents were in town and Saturday was Lailee's diapers and wipes shower! Diana Raney hosted the shower with the help of my third grade team! It was very low key and turned out perfect! We celebrated at Macaroni Grill! We were all able to sit at the same table which made for tons of good talk and laughs! Our family and friends that came were Mom, Dad, Janet, Diana Raney, Kizzy Barbee, Lindsey Townsend, Gina Gore, Carol Harrison, Regina Johnson, Stephanie and Haley Goodman, Jenny Carter, and several people were there in spirit :-)....Ali Mills one being you!!! Thank you all for all the diapers and wipes and other happy's for Livia and Lailee! We are soooo blessed....and I can't leave out many more friends that were not able to come, but have sent gifts through the mail and hand delivered things earlier in the week! We so appreciate everything!!! While we were showering Lailee, Cody and his dad were at home playing with Livia! They had a blast! 

Mom and Dad stayed the night and we stayed up for a while visiting once we got back home! Sunday we had breakfast and played with balloons from the shower! Liv's one year molar and didn't sleep all through the night like normal....we could tell she was tired so we laid her down at 9:00 for a nap and she slept until 1:00! Cody ran some errands and surprised Livia with an early Valentine's Day present! 
Thank you to Diana for hosting a fun shower!
Yummy cupcakes...I can always count on Kizzy to find the best!

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...
