Down syndrome is beautiful 💙💛

I just wanted to make this post because I know there are a lot of mommas who are scared to find out their baby has downs. I get it. I get that you want your baby to be perfectly healthy. I wanted that too. I got testing done just to be on the safe side, negative. Told me we were free and clear. Then the day I met the love of my life came, the doctors who all whispered in the corner of the room, finally came up to me and told me my beautiful baby boy has Down syndrome. I was in shock. I was scared. I wasn’t prepared I didn’t do my research I didn’t know what I’d have to do different or what I was in for. I was hurt because he was my baby. I was hurt because I was asked over and over if I wanted to give him up for adoption. Though that thought never crossed my mind I just couldn’t believe they asked me over and over. I didn’t know what to think, what to feel, but now 2 years later I am so blessed and thankful. We did it. One step at a time. Yes he has a lot of health issues and yes everything takes a little more time but let me tel you what the cuddles and kisses and laughs make it so worth it. I never knew I could love someone as much as I love my Wesley. Down syndrome is so beautiful yes it’s scary at first but if you embrace it, it can be the best thing that has ever happened to you. I just wanted you mommas to know it’s not always as bad as everyone is scared it’s going to be.
