"Y'all - don't miss it. Don't get so caught up in what your sweet baby is doing or not doing. Don't obsess about this step or the next step or the one after that or what is going to happen twenty years down the line. Because one day you'll look at baby pictures and think about how adorable that baby was and how all you can remember is therapy and you can't even remember what her hair smelled like. So, ENJOY your baby. It doesn't matter when they walk or crawl or talk. It matters that they are here and that you love them and that they know it. Just don't miss it."
Hang in there Lisa - hopefully your hospital ordeal will be over soon - I am so sorry the Dr was such a bastard - really inappropriate things to say. I completely advocate fighting for yourself and loved ones' rights in the hospital because they are big places and patients get lost in the shuffle so you need to stand up for yourself.
But in this case since they are taking such a harsh stance, maybe you save yourself a little hell if you can pace it out the next 24 hours and let Finn come home on "their" terms...Just keep focused on that - he will be home any way now!!! And remember they told you 2 weeks initially right? And so far it is looking like less than that amount of time, so that's a positive...I'm thinking of you. Lisa B.
On July 7, 2008 our sixth child, Finnian, was born at home into loving hands. Shortly after he was born, we learned that he has Down syndrome. This is the ongoing story of how our family is being transformed by this little boy.
Hi! I'm Lisa, a 40-something Wonder Mom to six kiddos: Kevin (14), Joey (9), twins, Annabelle and Daisy (6), Lilah (4) and Finnian (3). Oh, and my husband is the multi-talented Michael. He tries to keep me in check, but I just keep on writing.

After more than two years and 555 posts (556 counting this one!), I'm
saying goodbye to Adventures in Motherhood. I'm ready for a change, and
I've started ...

Lisa, he's breathtaking. I love his blonde blonde hair.
Peace,

He certainly is beautiful.

I think Finn is absolutely gorgeous!
Oh, how precious is he!
I snuck away to an internet cafe just to catch up with you and Finn. He is so handsome and bright-eyed!
He looks just like Joey! At least to me he does.
