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 room to play with her toys. Angelica will do a couple things around the house and play with Myah until they both get sleepy enough to take a nap before she goes into work. Once Angelica and Myah are sleepy enough they will both take a nap for a couple of hours. When they wake up from their nap Myah will either have dinner if she is hungry or just some milk after giving her either or it is normally time for Angelica to get ready to go into work, she will get Myah dressed if she needs to be dressed, and then Angelica will then get herself dressed and get lunch/dinner packed for work. Angelica leaves our house around 7:30 pm and arrives at my job at 7:45 she will drop Myah off with me and head to her job. Once Myah is dropped off with me i will let her crawl around for a bit until i finish what needs to be done at my job and make sure nothing else needs to be done. We leave at 8pm and head home. Once we arrive home if Myah has not had dinner i will see if she wants dinner, she will eat and then get cleaned up and dressed for bed. Myah will nurse right before bed once she is done nursing we will go into the bathroom brush her teeth and i will put her down for bed, she normally goes to bed between 9:00-9:30. After she is in bed i will try to clean up a little around the house or just go and lay in bed until i get sleepy. We do this for the weekends so that we can both work and this is just what works for us. It can get pretty tiring for Angelica especially on Sunday's because she gets home at 8am and i leave for work at 11:45am. She naps until i have to go to work, i try to put Myah down for a nap before i leave so she is asleep by the time i leave and that helps Angelica get more sleep but that is not always the case, Myah will sometimes be awake when i leave so that means Angelica needs to get up. Since Sunday's are harder Angelica and Myah enjoy a relaxing day at home and nap.

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...

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 ...

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...
