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 enthusiast which is almost the same thing. I was so excited but confused on how it worked but i got the hang of it. We have became brand reps to more small shops and absolutely love supporting them all! You can tell that each small shop we support and love put so much love into there creations.

The reason we wanted to let Myah be a brand rep/ enthusiast is because we want to show the world how beautiful she is even with an extra chromosome. We think her extra chromosome makes her extra cute! We want to change the face of beauty and show people that beauty comes in all forms. I love seeing other kids that also brand rep and are rocking an extra chromosome. Ever child is beautiful in there own special way!

Sweetie pie organics review

Since I had successfully breastfed my first daughter when I got pregnant with our second daughter I knew I wanted to breastfeed without a doubt. Little did I know that this journey would be different than my first. With our first daughter she was in the nicu and had latching issues, for the first two months of her life I pumped around the clock. I was up every three hours even though the night. With me being dedicated like I was I grew to have a have an over supply which was great but also very hard to control. At two months she finally latched onto the breast but because of my over supply I have a very fast let down which would cause more issues with her feeding. After having her lip and tongue clipped she was able to be fully breastfed on the breast at four months old and she went on to nurse until she was two and a half years old. My second latched on right away and nursed like a champ. In the beginning I was up pumping as much as I could because I was afraid of getting c...

How we found out Myah would most likely have Down Syndrome

When we were 12 weeks pregnant we had an ultrasound done. The doctor came in and also gave me an ultrasound which i found weird because doctors don't normally do ultrasounds. Once he was finished he said that baby showed some markers of having Down Syndrome and that i should get tested for it. We had already decided prior to this day that we did not want any testing done we would love our baby regardless. Well we were scared so we agreed to have a blood test done. I got a phone call about a week later from a nurse who worked at the hospital. She informed me that my blood test came back that my baby had a 100% chance of having Down Syndrome. I was so confused, how could just a simple blood test tell you this. The nurse had asked me four times, yes four times if i wanted to terminate my pregnancy. Of course i said no. She asked me if i wanted to get an amniocentesis done i said no but that we would need to talk about it. We opted out on having the amniocentesis done because of the m...

Breastfeeding Journey

Myah was a NICU baby and that made it very hard for us to breast feed every day. I tried to get her to latch every day but with her low tone it was hard. Myah was not gaining as much weight as they would have liked her to so they put her on formula to get more calories in her. Myah was getting both my breastmilk and formula. I wasn't producing much in the beginning so they also had to give her formula when i had no milk to give. Myah had developed jaundice so she had to be under the light as much as possible so that limited the time i has to try and get her to latch. Myah came home after a week in the hospital and we continued to try and latch at times it was hard for both her and i, so I continued to pump and give her milk out of a bottle. I developed an over supply of milk. I was on a strict schedule of pumping every two hours during the day and every three hours at night. Myah was sleeping through the night so i had to wake her up to give her a bottles since she was stil...
