INFO:

When I first found out that I was pregnant so soon again i was in shock. When I was 11 weeks along we found out that you were a baby girl with Down Syndrome. I was never sad but a fear hit me the second that I found out. Would I be a good enough mom for you, the fear that this world would not love or accept you because of your diagnosis, I immediately joined groups for support and I quickly held on to one piece of advice that I saw over and over again “I wish I hadn’t spent my pregnancy in fear and mourning the child I thought I would have, and scared to tell others” I immediately decided to follow this advice and celebrate this little girl who was coming into our lives and is truly a miracle. From conception to now, day 123 in the NICU, you have continued to defy all the odds and proven every one that follow the beat of your own drum. In your short 4 months that you have been here you have had a profound impact on so many and I can’t wait to watch you break barriers and grow into the sweetest little girl. I still can’t believe this was 5 days before I had her.
