Welcome. I was inspired to write this blog while pregnant with my son, Josiah. At 18 weeks gestation, Josiah was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. He had open heart surgery at 3 months and has had RSV twice. He is now 21 months old. He and his two older brothers amaze us everyday. Josiah was not a mistake, nor is he a regret. He is a miracle and the light of our lives. We share with you this beautiful life we have been blessed with.

The diagnosis
By the time we received the 'diagnosis,' we were relieved. The diagnostic genetic possibilities had been great, and many more horrifying than Down Syndrome (DS). DS meant we would be able to bring our baby home. It meant our Josiah, given the opportunity, would be able to achieve great things. Keeping him, was never a question. Now, it was simply preparing. We researched. We reached out. We planned. We were going to be sure that Josiah is given every opportunity to reach his full potential.
