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 :)
