baby Nella

Have you met Kelle?

If not, you really ought to.

This is a good place to start.

It's where I started anyways.

I should warn you;

you might want to grab a tissue

or two.

Lexi loves looking at pictures of Baby Nella

We visit Nella

and her big sis, Lainey

pretty much every night.

and sometimes, during the day, too.

Baby Nella has Down Syndrome.

I used to think that God would give us a DS baby.

In fact, I sort of wished He would.

I've read about the how you can't help

being a better person

when you live with these precious children.

I want to be a better person.

and

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for

those considered 'disabled'

(TJ has it, too)

so it seemed only logical that God put it there for a reason.

When Lexi was so still in my womb

I wondered....

~

He didn't choose to bless us with an extra chromosome;

I'm fine with that.

He still uses my children to grow and shape me

and make me just a tiny bit more like Him.

And

we can pop in and visit Nella

any time we want to.
