A powerful birth story of a mom falling in love with her baby after an unexpected Down Syndrome diagnosis.

Nella Cordelia: A Birth Story
www.kellehampton.com

This is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write in my entire life. The hardest and yet the most beautiful. As I even just begin to type here, late, in the dark in my room alone with my girls sleeping next to me, their little faces barely visible from the glow of the the same candles that flickered in a very special room one week ago, my heart starts aching thinking of where I was at exactly this moment last week.
