Last thursday my son and his wife and toddler left ffor a long weekend on Cape Cod, with her due date for a second child comfortably a month ahead. On their first ight there she went into labor, and checked into the local hospital. for some reason my son had programmmed the driving directions into his GPS. and one of my daughters had stayed over at their cottage to amuse toddler in the morning and let them sleep late for a change.
First hospital nurse to examine her said, "You're cookin', honey" and the baby was born barely two hours later.
Of course we drove down to see them and rejoice at the healthy little one. AS we expected, this is a Down syndrome baby, with their advance knowledge and by their chioce - to raise him along with his brother and give him the best ilife they can. I am so proud of them. and the baby isw so cute, tiny features, blonde fluffy hair, sweet little mouth. Mother doing well following a fast "cold turkey " delivery. Baby nursing energetically, and they returned home in a car with two ar seats in the back, after departing with one. His name is Patrick , with Dad's nam John and grandpa's name Cornelius as middle names. Pretty long handle, huh, for such a teeny.
and a voice from heaven said,"This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased." Book of Matthew, Cha[ter 3, Verse 17 if I remember correctly.
