I remember reading statistics, early on, about Down Syndrome pregnancies. Sobering.....
Genetics suggest that out of every 100 DS pregnancies, approximately 80% result in miscarriage.
That leaves 20.
Out of the remaining 20, 90% are terminated (by choice).
That leaves 2.
I realize, every single day, how lucky we are to have Josiah in our life <3
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.
