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!

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

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

It's normal

If you get the Down syndrome diagnosis it's normal to be scared and full of emotions. Because you have that "what if" in your mind, but don't be afraid you're child is able to do anything they put their mind to. It will just take them a little longer to learn but the scenic route is the best route. Don't believe doctors when they tell you that your child will not have a great quality of life, let your child be the one to show you how great there life can be. You can't possibly know how great your unborn child's life can be until they're brought into this world. Of course your scared who wouldn't be you had a picture of the perfect healthy child in your head, your child is still perfect they are in fact extra perfect. Just because your child has down syndrome does not mean that they are down. There is nothing down about down syndrome. Myah is the light of our days she has so much love in her and her smile is heart warming, it can make a bad
