I'm just remembering one year ago today...our 20 week ultrasound revealed a hole in baby's heart- an AVSD, very common in little ones with Down syndrome. It was a tough day, and the next when we had our amniocentesis. It was confirmed on 4/29 that we had a little girl, and the Down syndrome confirmed on 4/30.
My only regret, beyond wishing I'd taken Meredith to Children's rather than you know where on 10/9, was that I allowed her diagnosis to affect my enjoyment of my pregnancy and my joy for the next 5 months. I prayed that these feelings would disappear once she was born and I thank God that they did. I so enjoyed and loved my little girl for those 24 days. A bit of heaven on earth.
