Happy tears

Today I was holding my crying Lilah trying to console my sweet girl, and all of the sudden, I started crying with her. However, my tears were happy ones. No crying has sounded more beautiful to me as the sounds I heard today. They were coming from a healthy baby--a baby without trisomy 18. A big, healthy baby girl who is mine. I took the time to stop what I was doing and just thank God. I am truly smitten with this little one. In fact, I'm just a little head over heals with my whole family right now. Merry Christmas to me!
