the everyday moments that cheer my heart!
This could also be classified as a phone photo dump because most of these are from my phone so forgiving judgment on the quality people!
{This is when we were staying with my Brother and his wife. Aunt Kaleena looked so guilty when I walked into the room...still makes me smile thinking about the look on her face. P's getting yummy cinnamon muffin batter.}
{You know, clothes don't always make it to the hamper after bath time and Porter was tired of the mess on the floor so he cleaned up. Hehe}
{Porter wanted to play in his exersaucer but didn't know how to get in without our help. Poor baby was getting pretty upset by the time we finished snapping this pic and got him untangled.}
{Um yeah, P found the Cheerios I'd snack on to help with morning sickness. They we're pretty happy with Porter's success!}
{Love this! Porter is constantly checking on us and chatting our ears off while we're in the car. He's much happier in his infant car seat and he's small enough so we let him use it.}
{Ball pit at OT.}
{I sent this to his dad looking for sympathy because this is what I'd been dealing with all day.}
{You know I like to make bread.}
{I sewed these for Porter from a scrap I had leftover! They make me so happy because I made them!}
{The pointing...love, love, love!}
{P watching the wiggles on our flight home from Cali}
I can always count on life finding a way to make me smile, laugh, and lift my spirits. Like Porter dancing to the John Mayer I have playing right now.
We have a plan for Sibling:

We have a plan for Sibling:
My doctor ordered a head to toe ultrasound as soon as she read the results, she's trying hard to get it done before Thanksgiving, but we'll see. If we see more markers we'll ask my doctor, "How will the care of this baby and Meghann change with the results from the Amnio?" If she gives us an answer that we feels justifies the procedure we'll go ahead and have it done. I've had moments in my life where news like this has paralyzed me with anxiety, I don't feel that way now. I know that decisions need to be made pretty quickly and that's stressing me a little. However, I'm not worrying that this baby might have Down Syndrome. My hopes are kind of up now that we might have another with Down Syndrome, it's just that DANG list of medical problems that scares me. Don't get me wrong either, it would be great to have a typical child too. So when I say, "Either way I'm going to be disappointed." it doesn't get more real than that!

Good plan. The first thing I thought from your previous post was how cool would it be to a have a brother (or sister) with Ds. But also, how hard (medically, school advocating, etc). I totally get the dissapointed either way, but also overjoyed either way!
I like your plan and I agree, either way it probably will be a little disappointing. Regardless of the number of chromosomes, I hope it's medically healthy and that you get a little piece of mind.
Looks like Mr. Porter is one busy little guy!
I totally understand the disappointment either way situation too! I dont worry too much about the medical problems anymore, we have been through alot with gabi but i also think that there are alot of Dr's that have a really negative attitude about DS. There is always an assumption that they are going to have problems or not do things at the same pace or be a complete burdan, which is not the case at all! I also think that is why dr's push amnios and such with your other children. we were also told that we have a 1% chance of another child with DS, but I gurentee that they will change that when we have another one. In fact i would bet that most drs say that, but really how do they know! haha, It may be the luck of the draw but But its the best luck ive ever had! haha Dont worry too much, the lord will provide you with what you need and no matter what happens it will be for a reason. Also this could worry you more or make you feel better ... but DS or not any child could have health issues and i feel like drs are more thourough with DS kids because of the risks but i would bet that if they checked other babies the same way they would find things that are "wrong" with them too! I dont know maybe im in denial or really nieve but it makes me feel a little more at ease with my worries! ill stop rambling now! Good luck with the decisions! and im so excited for porter to be a big brother!
I love all of the HAPPY photos! I think your plan is fantastic! I totally understand the feeling of being disappointed either way. I think I would feel the same if we choose to have another baby.
