Lately I have been receiving a lot of private messages of beautiful mamas looking for advice and guidance. I am an not a professional, however I call myself a professional mama. Why? Because when I was pregnant a so called professional told me all the negative things about having a child with Down syndrome as if he had experienced it first hand. I just assumed he was right, that he knew what he was talking about. But, now I know, he had NO CLUE!
He was wrong about pretty much everything, because my daughter CAN and DOES. The only thing I have no proof as of yet is: in his words "she will end up in an institution," I pray he's wrong about that, he tried to scare me and put that horrible fear in me. His main goal was termination of pregnancy. My main goal was a precious little baby to complete our family.
However I could list all the things Jordan Grace could do, but it would take a million posts. What I can say for sure is that she has grown up like her big sister, I haven't done anything different except the given therapies.
She is my teacher, and as her mother, I look for teachable moments and encourage her when she wants to do ANYTHING. That's right, I do not limit her, ever. I stand by her and help her. Life is better than I imagined.
The only way someone can truly know what I mean is if they walk in our shoes, and becomes a professional mother of a child with special needs. We do get paid, with tons of joy, endless hugs and so much pure love. It truly is a secret society and I'm proud to be a part of it. Blessed beyond belief.
This picture was taken seconds after she was born! We looked into each other's souls! We were instantly more in love than before! I'm truly blessed! 🌸
