Hi! I found your blog thru another one that I read. I am a mom of a special needs child. While his condition is different from Ivey's, I understand how it is as a mom to be under the constant stares. My son's only physical difference is that he wears braces on his legs. He has some degree of mental retardation and acts younger than his age. He at times will throw fits (like an autistic child- but he is not autistic) and adults will make comments to me, or in front of me, about my child being out of control. I am like you, in the way of attempting the "game face", but at times it is hard to keep up. God bless you and your family!

You can just see the love and happiness overflowing in your home, Gwen. I'm so glad you took the time to put all of these pics together. One day, I'll take you up on your thought of trying to get together. I'd love to give sweet Ivey lots of hugs and kisses.

Wow, I had a lot of catching up to do, I am thrilled for Ivey's beautiful green eyes, gorgeous!!! :)
OK, so I am now wiping away tears after reading the post about 90%....what can I say Gwen, I get it. Not exactly the same, but still I SO know what you mean about "the smile" when out and about...like you wrote, once we get through a hard "bump" in the journey, we can overwhelmingly feel the love from all those that dearly love our little ones...
I LOVE to see the genuine love for your precious GIRL :) and that you are enjoying girly times...
Family fun is such a joy and I encourage you to keep it up, you are such an example...
