Project Acceptance

Here are a few pictures that Daylen and I got to take as part of a project known as 'Project Acceptance'. The photographs were taken by Charley Green. Below is a website where you can read about the project and get to know the people on there!

Genetics testing results!

After waiting for almost 3 weeks on Daylen's genetics test...

we finally got the answers in the mail today...

We had a genetics test done on Daylen to see if there were

any chromosomal abnormalities

to see where Dave and my future stood

as far as having future children without birth defects.

Well.......the test came back.......

YAY!!!

So what does this mean?! 

It means that the next child (just like the rest of the population) only has a 1% of having a CHD

but because we already have a child part of that 1%

it puts our chances at a tiny 2%

I'll take that 2% chance over any other number that it could have been
 if Daylens's CHD was genetically formed. 

Clapping and waving :)

Daylen started clapping and waving around 7 1/2 months old. 

My mom taught him the clapping thing 

that goes along with a lil german kiddy rhyme

its too cute :)

he claps during diaper change now

and smiles 

cuz he knows he's smart
