I have 3 wonderful children (most days anyway).  Two teens and of course like most kids that age, find ways to try my patience and sanity on a daily basis.  One of their favorite things to do is argue with each other and see how long it takes me to loose my mind....haha

My youngest, my angel & blessing,  has been diagnosed with Down Syndrome.  He has had an ECG and his heart is fine which makes us all sleep a little better. 

 I'm not on here to often, seems I spend most of my time on myspace.  So if you are on myspace and want to chat there send me an email and I'll tell you how to find me..lol

Like most families I've talked to that love someone with DS, it may be a challange, but not one we'd give up.  We found out there was a 10% chance when I was a few months pregnant, and we opted to not have the amnio.  We figured it wasn't going to change anything if he did have it and why risk his life with such an invasion procedure.  We prayed for the best and knew that what ever happened was meant to be.  If he was not meant to be with us, God would take him home and it was not our desicion or the doctors to gamble with something so special. 

We have no regrets and I'm happy that he is part of our family.  It is his little smile that never fades that makes all the horrible stuff in the world dissappear, even if it's only for a few minutes.  I've heard many moms say that their kids give them stress...I even use to be one of those moms.  I prayed for patience and understanding of my children, and I got my little angel...now when ever I'm stressed, I turn to him to make him laugh and I realize, it's not so bad. 

 I cherish each day now with all 3 of my children and realize, I may not know what tomorrow holds for any of us, but I know for today, we will love each other unconditionally and as long as we stick together, no matter what obstacles may come at us, we will get through it as a family.
