Around 16 weeks, we found out our sweet baby girl would have Down Syndrome. This created a whirlwind of emotions as we envisioned her future. My husband, Marty, and I knew she was going to be a blessing for our family, but the fear of the unknown made the pregnancy stressful. Marty said that he took it as a compliment from God that this baby was chosen for us, and we began to embrace every weekly check and extra ultrasound as we awaited for her arrival.

With all of our prayers, we decided on the name Margaret, Maggie for short, which stands for pearl. Pearls are beautiful, precious, and tougher than any diamond. Along with this, Saint Margaret of Antioch is the patron Saint of childbirth and safe deliveries, so it was natural to know through all the hardships, in the end, we would have our baby in our arms. Maggie is everything that we hoped and dreamed for, and we already see how much she has touched our family, friends, and community.
