Every prayer gets an answer

 Yesterday, I was in therapy with Alyssa, and I asked the therapist how do I get her to reach. She usually sits down in the bouncer and looks around the toys over her precious head, and her arms just moved from side to side, so she suggested to put a burping towel underneath her arms. So, I did once I got home, I show her she could reach and pull the lion on the bouncer to make him play music. Guess what: she did it by herself, and then she did it again, and again. I was stunned and so proud of my little one. It is such an accomplishment. I pray everyday, and just that day I had prayed for her about it and it happened, God is super good. Not only that, I had her in her crib looking up her mobile, but I guess she caught a glimpse of a giraffe my friend Wendy gave her, and she turn all on her own. Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy.....Anyway, I add myself to the list of prayers going for Peter in which my friend  from Baby Center (Patty). She even has a giveaway in her blog page a Perfect Lily as an incentive, please donate if you can. Stories like his break my heart. I am so blessed Alyssa is home with us, we will give her a good life and love her tons, so I pray that we can all reach to the goal and bring Peter with his new family.

Christopher

Today I read an article someone posted in Baby Center, it was about a teen girl and her love for her sister with down syndrome. To see a teenager so compassionate love her sister is amazing. It made me think about my son, Christopher. Chris is a 10 year old boy who likes to play his video games. He is good in school, loves to read, and loves to play with his friends, but more than anything, he is the best brother Alyssa can have. When Alyssa came into the world, we did not know she had down syndrome until it was diagnosed at her birth. As I was a wreck, I did not give Chris the news until Alyssa was home with us, 12 days after her birth. I remember explaining to Chris that Alyssa was born with Down Syndrome, he asked me what did it mean. He looked so worried, as he was when the baby was in NICU and we would go visit her. I told him she is OK, but Aly would be a little different than any other kids. I told him she would learn everything but at her own pace, and I said you might have to

First Valentines Day

Image
As I woke up this morning, I noticed it will be Alyssa's first Valentine's day. I also noticed how much my love for her has grown. I remember when Chris was born I fell immediately in love with him, in a different way, a motherly love way. When Alyssa was born, I wish I could say it was the same. My heart was aching and  full of fears from the moment of her diagnosis, but as time has gone by, my heart is full of hope and love. Today as I hold her in my arms and embrace her, I thank God for giving her to me and making me realize of his greatness. Happy Valentine's Alyssa..Mommy will always  love you!

Gracias Mami

Tengo mucho tiempo deseando poner las palabras precisas para decir lo que mi mama ha sido ( y gracias a Dios, continua siendo en mi vida), pero que pasa, que realmente no encuentro "esa palabra". Ella ha sido mi poder, mi suporte, mi fuerza, mi inspiracion, mi ejemplo...la lista seria interminable, y realmente no creo q tengo tanto espacio para ponerlo por escrito. Sin embargo, lo unico que puedo decir es "GRACIAS MAMI", siempre has estado ahi por nosotros, y ahora es cuando me doy cuenta que eres lo mas preciado de mi vida despues de Dios, gracias por querernos y ayudarnos, por estar siempre preocupandote, gracias por el tiempo que compartes con nosotros. Gracias por tu fortaleza y amor que nos das a Chris, Alyssa y hasta Yoshi va en la lista junto con Freddy y yo. Solo queria decirte que te amamos y te queremos muchisimo. It has been a while since I wanted to blog about my mom and I have been searching for that particular word that summarizes my feelings to her, b
