3/21/06 I was about 6 weeks pregnant with an angel who had 3 copies of that 21st chromosome. And had no idea how my world was about to change.
3/21/07 Abigail Grace was 4 months old. I was lost in a sea of baby gear, a little touch of post partum depression, and trying to figure out what exactly Down Syndrome meant for my little girl.
3/21/08 My little Abby was 1. Still not crawling and barely sitting up. She'd just made it over a scary spell between nursing and bottle where she wasn't accepting liquid of any kind and was almost put on a feeding tube. But in my heart, a fierce love was growing.
3/21/09 Abby was crawling, interacting, and loving life and everyone around her. And I found my self knee deep once again... in adoption paperwork to bring home a little boy on the other side of the world who's mommy didn't want him because she didn't know he had a third copy of his 21st chromosome.
3/21/10 Abby and Micah are chasing each other up and down the hall giggling and playing as I type this. My heart is so full. Who would have known 4 years ago that the tiny baby in my belly would have started all of this...
To Micah: The son of my heart. You've taught us a new way to love. I can't imagine our family without you buddy. I love you.
To Abby: You are our sunshine. I never would have dreamed when you were born that you would make me SO proud. Every day you push my expectations. You amaze me. I love you.
