Day 13: on assignment "what I love about Down Syndrome"

Today I am joining a few of my baby center friends and I am going to point out what I love about Down Syndrome. I really love all the cuddling time I get. Due to low tone on our children, they snuggle better when we hug her. I love to see her sleep, then I am able to inspect every little thing: her beautiful almond eyes, her tiny little nose and her tongue sticks out a bit as she is so relax. Due to her Down Syndrome, she is so little. She just turn 12 months and she is still using baby crib shoes 3 to 6 months, her hands cannot grab her 6 oz bottle, so I hold her for her while I hold her tiny fingers. I love that I still get to put her in my baby carrier as she only weights 18.7lbs. And most of all, I enjoy every minute of it, I savor every milestone and cherish it. My number one is that age is mine baby and I love her and she loves me too

Six months of love

Image
It is amazing how time goes fast, like a blink, I still remember how hard it was to know about the diagnosis and how long it has taken to accept it. Now Alyssa is six months, she is learning how to seat, she turns at her own wish and her arms are strong enough to pick up her bottle. I do not believe Down Syndrome owns her, but I do understand it is part of her. I am so proud of her.

Day 6: One thing I love about Down Syndrome

Image
Oh Boy...I have to true to this blog to anyone who reads it...there is no one thing...there are several. Down Syndrome has typical characteristic appearance, and I will point it out with my favorite model, my Alyssa: 1. Flattened nose. It is so small a kiss can cover it all. 2. Small mouth. It is so little, but give the best slobbery kisses ever. 3. Protruding tongue. It is so cute and I know it is out when she is happy or when she is really tired. 4. Upward slanting eyes. The corner of her eyes is called Epicanthal fold. They are so beautiful and clearly expressive. 5. Wider Gap on Sandal toe. It is another characteristic of Down Syndrome.Besides of being so cute to smell and make her laugh, it is great for Sandals and to grasp toys as well. I said it many times, Down Syndrome does not define my daughter, but her characteristics make me embrace her and love her even more.

A real surprise...and a note of thanks

Image
After being almost 6 months away from work (I was out on bed rest as of August due to my faulty placenta), I went back to work. I wont lie: I did not want to. I was sad to leave my family behind. I know anybody in my place would have felt the same. I started enjoying my stay-at-home situation, and my kids loved it as well, but reality must settle in and with a broken heart, I started again as of last week.  Alyssa at 2 months  It has been a rough transition; however, today I felt like I was home.  I felt the love while my friends from work gave me a surprise baby shower.  I felt special, it felt like family, it felt like home, so THANKS everyone. I had a rough year while I was expecting, and I did not have a baby shower due to my bed rest, so it really warms my heart and appreciate it.  I have been blessed to have great friends who have been there for us at our thoughest times.  Everyone has been so understanding. ...
