There are so many chances in life for new beginnings. The beauty of the spring flowers are so awesome! The daffodils are trumpeting in a season abundant with color and warmth.
I am starting to understand further and deeper the meaning of love. Each day I fall deeper and deeper in love with my beautiful children, my husband and my Lord Jesus Christ.
Each time I look upon this precious lil'face I begin to wonder and ponder God's gift of life. Life is so divine and I want to savor each of its moments. I have been praying to be worthy of this baby and to be able to be a better mother to him and the rest of my children.
I am overwhelmed by the sweetness that surrounds me, the very natural things that give me comfort and joy! The outdoors, the fresh air, the sunshine and the sleepiness and peaceful look of a newborn baby fill my heart and senses to the brim.
The newness of having a baby with Down Syndrome has opened up a whole new world for me. It is an opportunity to learn and explore many new things. I have been searching and looking around for other websites and information and I am always amazed reading and seeing other peoples stories and blogs.
I think my kiddos are learning a lot, too. Most importantly they are soaking up the importance of how to care for and love a wonderful new life. They do not see any differences in Malcolm. They see mommy taking care of, carrying and nursing another member of the family. Eliana wanted a sling for her baby today and she was doing her mommy thing, too.
Life is so full of surpises and changes, just as the winter turns into spring and new life comes to the surface, God has new and wonderful things to share with us. As he gives us the gift of one another we can learn and be blessed each day!
My professor was saying how amazed he is at the parents of special needs children and what they'll do for them. Its been reassuring to see how caring the teachers and professors I'm meeting are.
