A Mother's Story....

I'm a little late with this post, but better late than never. This past Mother's Day was my first! It was such a wonderful day I got to spend with my little family. Ryan and Kaden got me some really pretty flowers, Gerbera Daisies, which are my fav! 

Most of you don't know that when I was pregnant with Kaden I was told that he wasn't growing properly, or at the rate he should be and that he was going to have Down syndrome. The moment the doctor told me this after my first Ultrasound was heartbreaking. At first I couldn't believe what I was hearing...my heart was beating so loud and fast I could hear it in my ears. I couldn't even cry. It was the weirdest feeling of fear I have ever had. We were both scared, Ryan and I but we had faith that everything would be okay and that Kaden would be fine. Everyday after that was a struggle with the unknown. We remained faithful that the Lord would bless us with a healthy, strong baby. We had a family fast for Kaden before my second Ultrasound, hoping that we would hear some better news. After that second ultrasound the doctor said he was growing beautifully but they still could not tell us if he would have Downs or not because I didn't do the testing. Even if he were born with Down syndrome we would love him the same!!! After that I trusted everything in the Lord hands...that no matter what happened we would be blessed with our little angel. 

Turns out he was born healthy and has grown to be a big boy! We are so thankful for him he is such a huge blessing in our lives and we are so thankful to our heavenly father for hearing our prayers. The night Kaden was born I held in my arms and felt such a love I have never felt, and a wave of relief came over me that he was okay and everything was going to be just fine! I am so grateful to be a Mother. I wouldn't change anything about my life. I love my boys so much!! <3
