Acceptance

Acceptance blog

My husband and I had a good conversation last night while painting the girls room (we are in the process of redoing their room as well as the nursery - so lot's going on here). We talked about how God chose us to be the parents of this little boy. How rewarding is that? Funny, but my doctor said the same thing to be awhile back when we were discussing the possibility that our baby boy could have DS. All of the signs have been there for awhile. Even before we had the definite diagnosis, there were so many signs around me. Is this God's way of preparing me for what's to come? Is this his way for me to get my emotions out now so that when he does arrive I can be a good mother to this child and not dwell in my misery? I think yes to all of these! I'm afraid, definitely but I think that the further along we get in this journey the better I will feel. I'm already closer and closer to acceptance and not denying the truth anymore. My Lord knows what I can handle and I have put my trust in Him. He will guide us through this journey. It's not going to be easy and there are so many unknowns right now and so many questions pop into my head every day. But He will be there with us through it all. That's reassuring. I've been finding hope and strength in the word and in worship music lately. Once again, another sign from above. Thank you Jesus for helping me through this. I'm hoping each day gets easier as I get closer to delivery day in November!

	"Thank you ladies. I can't tell you how much your prayers and support mean to me right now. We haven't told a lot of people yet. We've only said we're undergoing more testing to determine if he has DS but haven't told anyone the answer is yes yet. I haven't even told my family at all. I just don't want people to worry about us or try to "fix" our situation. It is what it is and I'm trusting in God for my guidance. So being able to release my feelings here where people don't judge has been ..." -- STACEYSKI

	"Have you read Kelle Hampton's blog? Or her book, "Bloom?" I HIGHLY recommend her! Her journey is amazing as she tells you about having her 2nd baby with DS (but they didn't know--it was a complete surprise). You can read her blog here: http://www.kellehampton.com/ But, READ BLOOM! It is amazing!" -- BECKSMARIEDN

	"How awesome for you. Every child is a gift from God, no matter what trials we have to deal with along the way. Keep your faith, you WILL succeed with this. It's okay to cry along the way, you are human after all, but rely on Him as the source of your strength, and you will get through this. I've prayed and prayed for you and your husband and it just makes me tear up to read this. ~Hugs~ Lisa" -- JACOBSMOM09
