Finnian's Journey: Ruby's Mom/Ruby's Life

"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."

Ruby's Mom/Ruby's Life

I found this beautiful new blog: Ruby's Life. I wanted to welcome Ruby's mom, who I found by way of her signing up as a follower to my blog, to the wonderful blogging community of parents with children with Down syndrome.

Ruby's mom: I have tried to leave comments on your blog, but I keep getting an error message. I wonder if you have comments disabled? Anyway, welcome. Your daughter is truly beautiful. I had my heart set on the name Ruby if Finn had turned out to be a girl. I adore the name and it's perfect for a little girl born in July. Our babies are very close in age, only separated by a couple of weeks! And we're both moms of large families, although I see that your brood is quite a bit bigger than mine ;)

I hope it will be possible to leave comments for you in the future. I'm looking forward to getting to know you :)
