    I admire your strength in planning and being the best possible parents you can be.  Lauren is a very lucky little girl and I cannot wait to see/hear how she grows into a fabulous young lady, which is bound to happen with such awesome parents.  Good luck, doll.

  • I am so incredibly touched by the way that you are dealing with your unexpected news. I am so happy and thrilled for your precious Lauren that you are going to be her parents, and (even though I don't know you) proud and amazed at how wonderful you are responding/dealing/moving forward. That is hard news for anyone to get, but you are going to make an INCREDIBLE mother. Congratulations on your sweet babe again, and all the best of luck.

  • I am glad that you have found relief in getting this answer. I'm sorry if the diagnosis wasn't as positive as you might have hoped, but I am relieved for you that you were able to get an answer one way or the other (I read an earlier post of yours where you feared they wouldnt be able to tell you anything).

    Lauren is very lucky to have you as her mommy!

  • You are amazing. There is no other way to put it. I wish I had even a fraction of your strength on a normal day---your daughter is one lucky girl to have you as her mother!!

  • You deserve it. Not proud to admit it, but I would probably be a mess, and I think I am a good person in general. You are an amazing, incredible person and never forget it. ::big ol' hug::

  • Just noticed the middle name change as well. I like it :)
    BabyFruit Ticker image imageimage
  • I would be a mess too. You're handling the situation beautifully. And did you change Lauren's middle name? Wasn't it going to be Geraldine or am I just confused? I think Hope is a perfect middle name for her.

  • I have to comment even though it has been said already....I admire your positive attitude and strength.  You are a true inspiration to what we all should be like in finding the good things that may come with some unexpected news.  You are going to be a GREAT mother!!

     PS love the middle name change :-)

  • I just think Hope is so fitting for her middle name! She has given us so much hope and love already!

  • I know that it has to give you some relief to have a definite answer. Lauren is going to be such a blessing in your lives! God doesn't make mistakes and I am sure that he chose you to ber her parents because you are capable of loving her so very much! She is going to be precious! I have a distant family member who has downs. He is in his late thirties. Although he still lives at "home", he is living in a garage apartment alone and does great! I am praying for peace and courage for you and your family has you begin this journey. Congratulations on a sweet baby girl!!

    Ditto on all accounts! You are so inspriring and will be SUCH an amazing mom. I thought you might want to check out this blog if you've never seen it before. The mom didn't know her baby had down's until she was born. This was a year or two ago, so all her blog posts since are related to "enjoying the small things", but this link takes you to the birth story. I hope you like it and aren't offended by it. The photography is amazing and so is her honesty.

  • Whew;0)  Glad you didn't have to wait forEVER for the phone to ring.  Will continue to pray for ya'll...  You are a great example of how I'd WANT to take such news(but would fail MISERABLY at).  I'm sure you have and will have scared moments...  And that's OK, too!!  The things that they did find on u/s...  The physical "markers"(?) will she be OK from that stuff?  Or will she be gtg health-wise?  I was wondering if I needed to pray for those things, too...

    I am so incredibly touched by the way that you are dealing with your unexpected news. I am so happy and thrilled for your precious Lauren that you are going to be her parents, and (even though I don't know you) proud and amazed at how wonderful you are responding/dealing/moving forward. That is hard news for anyone to get, but you are going to make an INCREDIBLE mother. Congratulations on your sweet babe again, and all the best of luck.

    You said this very well.  I agree totally with everything that was said here.  If this is any indication, I think you guys will be great parents.
