Well...I have to start somewhere

I have toyed with the idea of starting a blog for some time now but I kept talking myself out of it. Would anyone even want to read it? Would I have time to write anything worth reading? But alas, here I am and those fears and worries did not win out. This blog will primarily be devoted to my super cute son, Cooper, and our journey as new parents and as parents of a child with Down syndrome. The title, Where It Begins, comes from a song lyric that says:
"If I ever write the story of my life, don't be surprised if you're where it begins..."
I'm sure many mothers and fathers would share my sentiments regarding my baby. He is beautiful, sweet, and precious and I just don't know what I did before him. Even though I had been on this earth for 26 years and a few days before his December 1, 2011 birth, it is easy to feel like my life truly began that morning at 4:51am. I won't get into everything just yet...I don't want to overwhelm, but soon I plan to write a post for Cooper's birth story, the story of our diagnosis, and of course some things involving the day-to-day. Those of you who know me know that I am never short on words so with that said--much more to come!
