Sofia's Birth Day

Feb.24,2012 Sofia is now a month old and everyday I look at her and think I still can't believe she is here. She is so precious to me and I wouldn't trade her in for anything in the world. Here is our story.... On January 21, 2012 I went into labor and was actually thinking that it wasn't supposed to be happening so soon at the time. Sofia was making an appearance 3 weeks early and it was a little concerning for me. I had hoped it was a false alarm but it wasn't. Since she came quickly it was a great relief seeing as how my son took 24 hrs. to be born. As soon as I saw her I knew in my heart she had Down Syndrome and oddly enough I was ok with it. Yes, my dreams I had for her might never happen like becoming a lawyer or a doctor, but I started thinking that they would just have to be replaced with new dreams. My biggest fear was how my husband would handle it. At one point I mentioned it when they took her to the nurser but my husband told me not to assume anything until the doctors say she does. I also remember after the doctor said he had his suspicions a day later that I told my husband that I felt as if I needed to apologize for our baby being born that way but I knew it was no ones fault. We just sat and cried and he told me he loved me and I knew then that everything was going to be ok. He proves to me everyday that he doesn't see her any differently than our son, we love her unconditionally and will always.
