Thanks everyone. I have a great support system that is helping me a ton. I'm also really glad to have you all. You said some amazing things.

A good friend with a DS baby told me I'm not mourning my baby, I'm mourning the loss of my expectations. That has helped me put a lot of my conflicting emotions into perspective. I don't feel so guilty about being upset and know I have to work through it.

Meanwhile, I think my H and I have decided on a name. It wasn't even on our list, but it just clicked. Graham. I am very excited.

With my family we know we are working through things when the inappropriate jokes start. This poor child. I told my H that he is finally getting the Olympian he always wanted. My H actually got super excited about that.

I'm so very sorry to hear this. I can only imagine how difficult it is to process this. I agree with the others--it's OK to feel all the things you're feeling and to be upset that he won't be who you imagined him to be. We know it doesn't mean you love him any less. Big hugs to you and your family. I hope your friends and family will be a great support to you!

Sending T&P's your way. I agree with everyone else about mourning the loss of what you were expecting. I am glad that you have time to process this news now so that you will be able to enjoy his birth. Take all the time you need. DS kids are amazing and your son will be so lucky to have you as a mommy.

I am so sorry that you are dealing with many difficulties. I pray that you will be given strength and a peace in knowing that you must be extra special for God to give you a special child. He thinks you can handle His sweet boy. Many thoughts and prayers for you, your family and your LO.
