Valentine's Day 2014

Valentine's Day is such a sweet little holiday! I love making my family feel special! We made Livia and Lailee's friends a treat bag with bubbles and kisses....with a note that said "Blowing Kisses You Way, Happy Valentine's Day!"I gave Cody a card and a protein bar...he is on a health kick! Cody made a sweet card for me and did all the laundry! We gave Livia a new leotard, sippy cup, some treats, and the Jungle Book! We got Lailee a baby Belle doll, a sippy cup, treats, and the Jungle Book! Cody's parents and my parents gave the girls sweet gifts too! Cody's grandma and my grandparent's gave the girls cards and money! We celebrated with Cody's parents by having pizza at Milano's!

Rock Your Socks for Lera {SAVE THE DATE}

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.

This blog will be printed and used as Lera’s baby book. If you choose...

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...
