(THE WYATT SERIES 2/6: Krista/Mom)

As I layed in the birthing pool with his little wet body on my chest something felt different. He was so still, it was so peaceful but at the same time I could feel worry coming over me and my heart began to race, our baby boy wasn’t moving like my previous children. I looked at him and remembered asking Mikael “does he have Down syndrome”? We hadn’t gotten any prenatal testing done but I wasn’t completely surprised because I believe God had been preparing me for this for quite some time. For much of my pregnancy I had thought about the option of our child being born with DS and some ultrasounds even hinted at the possibility. We eventually didn't get the confirmed diagnoses until Wyatt was almost 3 months old. Now at 6 months old I feel he has been such a blessing in our life and the original fear of the unknown has become a tool to learn and to advocate for him and love him through. Wyatt has drawn our family closer together and closer to God and not to mention has brought so many sweet giggles and joy to our lives. I can’t imagine our life without his sweet presence and his ability to bless so many. We really feel like we have been chosen to receive the blessing of Wyatt and he has enriched our lives and will even more everyday.
