Gavin is 4 weeks old today! :) He seems to be doing really well :) Just 4 weeks until we see the cardiologist and I hope his ASD has closed by then :) Here are some pictures I took today :)
He is a goodlooking boy. Not taking away from the difficulties of having a "non-typical child" but it is a priviledge that the Lord would entrust one of these special kids to me. We grow to love John with each passing day. They come with a real life lesson that we are slowly learning. Hope you are doing well with your new one.
He is just so cute! I wish I could meet you guys and hold him. You know, even though he is younger than Nichole (one year) maybe they can still get married someday ;)
I started this blog to note and celebrate Gavin's life. He is such a precious gift from God that I appreciate so much. I wish he did not have DS but we will make it one day at a time :)
This is a new blog celebrating and noting our journey with our new son Gavin who has down syndrome. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was scheduled to have a C-section 10/28/08 but when I was just 37.2 weeks I went into labor. Our son Gavin Russell was born 10/16/08 at 11:30 am via C-section. Gavin weighed 8 lbs and 6 oz and was 21 inches long. After Gavin was born and before they tied my tubes we found out about Gavin having down syndrome by the doctors saying " are you sure you want your tubes tied, it looks like he has down syndrome." We were shocked to say the least. I went ahead and had my tubes tied and our journey with DS began. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I know Gavin is a true gift from God and even though I wish with everything that I am that he did not have DS I love him so and will get through this one day at a time.
