Right now we (our family) are very happy to have both of us home. Dianna has Down syndrome. Some have expressed condolences and I can understand that it may be difficult to know what to say. But we are anything but sad. She is beautiful. I'm certain we will have some hardships ahead but are looking forward to all the blessings she will bring, just as with our other children.
Once I have recovered completely, and I am certain that all of my children are getting plenty of loving from me, I'll resume posting. Until then, here's one of my favorite pictures of Dianna so far. My five year old was so excited when we brought her home to finally get to see his little sister. He was kissing her and talking to her, "Your name is Dianna. You're so sweet. I love you." She just burst into a huge grin. I love my family.
I'm a new reader, but she is absolutely beautiful & you are so blessed!

ReplyDeleteSheila -- Congratulations on your new little blessing. She looks so sweet! And I think it is so nice that you named her after your mother.

ReplyDeleteThank you! She is just the sweetest, most content little baby. We are enjoying our newest addition!
DeleteWe are parents to a girl with an undocumented chromosomal abnormality and, after five years of being in this journey, I can tell you it was not always easy but it has not been sad either. Life is different but your heart opens in a way you did not suspect was possible. Our children show us the way. Congratulations on the addition of this little girl in your life!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Estelle! We have been so blessed with her. She keeps us busy, just as all babies do, but also fills our days with smiles and new adventures.
