Our crazy weekends

Angelica and i both work on the weekends so it gets pretty hard. Our day starts off with waking up around 7:30-8:30 am we brush our teeth and Myahs teeth and head to the living room. I turn on our projector and put on either YouTube learning videos or of course her favorite movie Moana. Myah watches tv while i make coffee and breakfast. After breakfast I usually get Myah dressed for the day. We just relax until its time for me to go into work. At 11am i try to see if Myah is interested in nursing and if she is i will nurse her. Around 11:15am i start to  get my lunch packed and get myself dressed to go into work, I work from noon until 8pm.  Before i leave for work i try to put Myah down for her first nap. We don't put Myah in daycare so I'm either with her or Angelica is, we work around each others work schedule to make it happen. Myah will wake up from her nap after about an hour to an hour and a half. Angelica will feed her lunch and clean her up and put in the living ro

Receiving the call about Myahs diagnosis.

She also informed me that the way they test my blood is they can get babies DNA from my blood sample and test it. I was so confused how they would get all that information by just a blood test i couldn't imagine how someone tells someone they are going to have a child with down syndrome by just a blood test, and th

How/why we wanted Myah to be a brand rep.

 It  all started off with another mom with a little girl named Sabi who is also rocking a little something extra. (If your not already following them go follow them! @sabi.regalo_de_dios ) Sabi's mom Ory sent me a message one day and asked if Myah was a brand rep. I had no idea what a rep was and asked her how and what it was all about. She had told me it is where you apply for positions to help promote small shops and model there products. She sent me a couple small shops that were currently looking for reps and i checked them out. She also told me that i can search for some myself under the hastage brandrepsearch so i checked that out also.  I absolutely wanted to get Myah started in being a rep. I was hesitant at first because i did not know how people would react to me entering her and her having down syndrome. The very first brand rep position i entered Myah in was a small shop called harry_and_dax (follow them on instagram)  to my surprise they actually let her be a brand
