Finnian's Journey: Take a look at this!

"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."

Stephanie said...: That's wonderful. I really hope it will give some Moms out there a different perspective than the one's held by society in general--the perspective of those of us that actually have babies with DS and feel our lives are better for it. Great job and congrats!; November 23, 2009 at 3:01 PM
