| Our precious boy. |
I spent so much time worrying about the future and what would happen when I was pregnant with Joey. I wanted to know what every day of the rest of our lives with a son who has Down syndrome would be like.
I don't know why I worried so much. Are there some challenges with his health? Yes. Are there some challenges with outdated information and trying to help spread awareness about Down syndrome? Yes. Do I still have other worries. Absolutely. Would I change a single thing about Joey? Never.

As we begin the big countdown to Joey's open heart surgery at the University of Michigan on June 8th, I am so grateful for this amazing trip and the time we spent together as a family. The next few weeks and months are probably going to be a little bit stressful and tiring, but having these memories will help ease some of the worry.

| No fear. |

| Not a lot that I can add here. |
 |
| Joey- you have a visitor and I think he's hungry. |

 |
| I want to ride one.... |
 |
| So we rang the bell... |
 |
| And Tommy chose Romeo for his horse ride. |

| The look of pure joy. |

| Who is this big boy of mine? Not a baby anymore. |

Awesome photos Jen...
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Tommy looks so regal riding the horse. What a great experience :-) I love where Joey is surrounding by the deer.
ReplyDeleteI need to stay more on top of reading your blog--I just wrote a follow up to post from last month--there is a lot of "what was I so worried about?" in there. I am starting to think that worrying will always be a part of my life and I hope that we will find ourselves constantly saying "what was I so worried about?"
