Beau is now 4 months old and a pure joy to our family. He is what we were missing; he completes our family in so many ways. October was a busy month for us and I can't think of a better way to end Down Syndrome Awareness month than to share his birth story with all of you. As many of you know Norman transitioned to a new job near Baltimore in early June and my mom came to stay with us in NC "just in case". Our plan was for Norman to come home on the 29th just in time for the scheduled csection on June 30 . You know what they say about well laid plans...... I woke up around 6am on June 28th with some pain but quickly brushed it off in my mind thinking it was Braxton Hicks or lack of sleep or just 2nd time around stuff. I laid back down and the pain kept coming and I kept trying to find ways to make my big, pregnant self more comfortable. After about 45 minutes I thought is this a pattern? Should I be timing this? So I did start timing my pains. Sure enough
We are the Turners. We have 3 kids....twins + 1. Our +1 has 3 copies of his 21st chromosome. We are pros at dessert and naps. We could use some work on our laundry skills and time management. We need Jesus. We've moved alot. We are learning about twin parenting, Down syndrome, home school, grocery stores, and good food. This is a glimpse into our journey.
