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...

More therapy?

We went to our weekly speech therapy appointment and we talked to our therapist about how Myah has been acting and she mentioned that it could possibly be some sensory issues. And if it continues we may need to think about putting Myah back into occupational therapy. When she first mention OT i was very hesitant, not because I don’t think she needs it but because we have had multiple evaluations and went through two therapists in the time we did have OT. Our first therapist just seemed like he did not like working with kids, like if they annoyed him, and he had no patience for them. (He ended up leaving to another place to work with adults) Our second therapist was just mean. We felt like she would hold Myah down and force her to do the things she wanted her to do. I know they want them to focus but holding her down is NOT ok. We just dont want to deal with her again and she is working the day Myah has speech therapy so we would most likey be stuck with...
