Wow what a well written lovely story tears streaming, what gorgeous people.
I'm speechless - what a truly beautiful story, both sad and tremendously uplifting - that babe has chosen a wonderful lady to be her mumma.....
I've never read a more beautiful and moving birth story. I have cried like a baby all though it, even at the very begining. Nella is such a lucky little girl to have such an amazing mummy. Thanks for sharing Trillain.
Thank you for posting that birth story. It was so beautiful.
I have just finished reading it too!! This woman really knows how to write, what a powerful moving birth story.
wow - thanks so much for sharing!
I had stopped crying after reading it - but then reading this thread again has made me bawl!!
I read that the other week. Was bawling the whole time :(
Beautiful x
wow! just amazing and beautiful and precious!
thankyou for posting that ...
wow, thanks for sharing that, amazing story!!!!
How very emotional, I cried sad tears for her but at the end I cried happy tears for her.
Oh I'm in pieces. Thank you for posting that link. What a beautiful story, what beautiful pictures
So beautiful xx
One of my friends from here on BB who I am friends with on FB posted this on her FB last night, I read it there, didn't realise it had been posted here too - and now I am remembering reading it last night and I am welling up with tears again! Can't cry at work, not professional!!!
But what an amazing story. I cried with her as she wrote about the first night and how she felt. I don't know how she sent her DH away, I would have needed him there. But I guess her DD needed him more.
Did everyone notice where she wrote something about "I will write that later, in our book", or something similar - sounds like she is going to write a book!
I am subscribing to her blog just so I can keep track of this amazing mother, baby, and whole family.
Thanks for sharing a truly powerful and emotional story! Had me in tears.
There is such beauty in her honesty. What an incredible story!
It really does make you stop and think about all the things in life we have to be grateful for ... what an amazing woman!
What a beautiful tribute to her daughter and her birth and what a wonderful family she has. I should've waited until I got home to read this one!
Amazing!
What a beautiful baby and mumma. I love the last smiling baby photo.
I think children/people with Down's Syndrome are so, so special. They have more love to give than any one else I have met. Beautiful.
Me too :D:
I shared with DD1 & she then shared it on her MySpace. And I have re-read it twice :)
Just a beautiful, honest story
Wow... Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing...
I dont think I will ever read another birth story as powerful either...
incredible
What an extraordinary story, thankyou so much for posting this link,
Oh crap. I'm scared to click the link. I started crying just reading the quote Beema posted.:
*deep breaths as I go off to read*. And thanks in advance for posting although I don't think my googly eyes will be too happy afterward.
S xo
WOW...what an unbelievably strong and amazing woman! I was sobbing as I read this story but what a lovely tribute to her beautiful daughter.
How lucky they are to have such amazing friends and family to support them and love their gorgeous baby, there will be no shortage of love in Nella's life.
Wow! What an amazing story
So beautiful and heartbreaking, so bittersweet. I love how honest she is, I'm sure she felt an enormous pressure to be joyous and happy despite herself. I'm sure she's helped many, many parents with her honesty, who may have felt guilty for having troubling feelings mixed in with their joyful feelings for their children. What a beautiful family <333
wow, what an amazing story, I had tears streaming down my face. and how courageous for sharing even her darkest hour with such honesty. If she does write a book, I'll be queing up to buy it. And such amazing photos, showing the huge range of emotions that must have been going on in that room.
Wow. That's the sort of love that can change the world.
What an amazing community that family has around them too. What a blessing.
:bump:
Just reading random birth stories and have just finished bawling my way through this one.
Nice :bump: Charlotte91
What a tear jerker! :heartbeat:
best birth story ever. totally loved it
Lots of tears here reading their birth story, such a brave thing she has done sharing with such honesty. What a gorgeous baby girl.
It just as powerful after a few years and read several times.
I think it's a great reminder about the beauty of all life, and the joy in everything.
Amazing words though. The honesty rips me apart.
I've read them before and broke down reading them again.:
I broke down reading these words
Love me. Love me. I'm not what you expected, but oh, please love me.
, and bawled for the rest of the story :cry
Thankyou so much for sharing Trillian
This story gave me an insight to what my mum went through - i was 9 going on 10 and she gave birth to my sister, who only after birth found out she had down syndrome......
I cried, joyful, hurtful and over all emotional tears, for both her story and mine xo
I remember reading this when you first posted it and the emotional impact is exactly the same now.
I didn't know about Kelle and her family until Trillian posted this, and I've read every blog post ever since. I just love the way she doesn't write about Downs Syndrome all the time - she writes about her family and her girls, as if to show that DS doesn't define Nella OR their family. A beautiful family :)
