Time to celebrate!




We celebrated Aubrielles 1st Birthday this weekend! Boy have we come a long way. Last year there was not much celebrating as we were taking in her diagnosis. We also celebrated the little things that come with having a baby with Down Syndrome. Aubrielle is transitioning much better. What this means is that she can now move from tummy to knees to standing or from tummy to sitting. She does it with so much confidence I can't help but laugh. She's no where close to walking, like typical babies but, I am okay with it. Soon enough she will crawl on her hands and knees(not there yet)and move on to walking. This weekend we celebrated life, her life.

SAHM?!


May 21st I lost my job of 12 years. Well, I didn't exactly lose it, I know where it is, it just didn't want me anymore. This is the second time I prayed to God and asked for something and got something similar in return. The first time was when I prayed for a third child. I got one, just not exactly how I imagined, this one had unique genes. The second time I was just casually asking God for the summer off and POOF, I got it. Now I know I must be very specific in my requests, God has a sense of humor. I'm not quite sure how to adjust to being a SAHM. I always thought I would be a career mom. Needing the mental challenge of work, craving a fast pace, and wanting to succeed. How do I measure all that with the work I do for my family? So, if anyone has any suggestions please....please voice them.
