National Down Syndrome Awareness Month

October is DS awareness month. So In light of that, for my 3rd item from my 30 days of gratitude it is just that. I am tremendously grateful for the blessings that my 4 of 5 has brought into my life. She has truly changed who i am, for the better. I have a different outlook on life. I don't know, maybe i would have gotten here with out her. But I know it would have been a lot slower and more painful. I know my Heavenly Father knows who i am, and new that i needed her. She has shown me, prefect doesn't always LOOK perfect. To me, she is perfect. And, things are never what they are on the outside. You have to give a second look. Slow down, and accept people for who they are, and find the beauty not the flaws in EVERYTHING. I could not ask for a greater blessing. I would not ask for a different child in her place. I would not ask for 4 of 5 to not have down Syndrome. It is one of the many things that makes her beautiful. I am so excited to see who she becomes. I pray that i do not hold her back from what she is able to become.

For all of October, I will add a fact about DS, story about 4 of 5 or just something DS related.

I love your blog! Wish I had a clue how to put one together like that. You are the best. I am pregnant with boy #4. 26 weeks and counting. This has been a rough one. My mom is here. I am on bed rest. Just trying to appreciate the good things in life. Your post made me stop and think about the things I should be grateful for. So thanks for that. It's so nice to see the pics. of your beautiful kids.
