When we do go out, it's usually something to do with church where we have been welcomed with open arms. I guess one of these days I'm going to have to step out of my bubble of protection. Lily will be different in some ways...but I wouldn't change a thing about her. She is the love of my life!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06533628798558130274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755184336117015044.post-92005010720632705082009-01-25T06:25:00.000-08:002009-01-25T06:25:00.000-08:00Thank you for dropping by and leaving me that nice...Thank you for dropping by and leaving me that nice comment!<BR/><BR/>Your boys are adorable and it looks like Joaquin is doing great -sounds like you are doing good too! :)<BR/><BR/>It's nice to "meet" you and I look forward to hearing more about your boys!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04729572054098126408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755184336117015044.post-86634059233236414832009-01-23T15:11:00.000-08:002009-01-23T15:11:00.000-08:00Hello,I think your baby is beautiful!! I have a ne...Hello,<BR/>I think your baby is beautiful!! I have a nephew with Downs and when he was born his mother told us at first she had similar feelings, as did another friend of ours that has a son with Down's. <BR/><BR/>Both boys are grown and doing well. Tyler my nephew lives in Minnesota and his parents love living there because of the good programs for young & older kids in their state.<BR/><BR/>My friend's son, Mitch, works a parttime job and lives at home. He is very athletic and is a good skiier as they lived in Maine & Oregon (both places had good adaptive ski programs). <BR/><BR/>And of course, you probably read Martha Beck's book. I think it's called Raising Adam. It is about her son Adam who has Down's. It is probably one of the best books I've ever read. If you haven't read it, you must. She recently posted an article on her blog about him:http://marthabeck.com/blog/?p=139<BR/><BR/>Nice to meet you!Meg Wolffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052363163218543818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755184336117015044.post-80384975709462619082009-01-21T21:42:00.000-08:002009-01-21T21:42:00.000-08:00What a beautiful post, Jennifer.

But, only those of us who do get to experience the mystery and joy that it brings. I'm grateful for that and for blogs like yours.Signehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869849576294958277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755184336117015044.post-88094151206481946232009-01-18T22:01:00.000-08:002009-01-18T22:01:00.000-08:00great post!I have yet to step out of my bubble.

I know how scary that must have been but what an inspiration you are to me and so many others! <BR/><BR/>I suppose these types of feelings will always be there...we just have to learn how to deal with them and I think you did a fabulous job at gymboree! <BR/><BR/>Joaquin is a lucky boy to have you as his mama! <BR/><BR/>((hugs))shereehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16904593196654715011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755184336117015044.post-85346676950298038372009-01-18T04:45:00.000-08:002009-01-18T04:45:00.000-08:00This was beautiful!!

Mikah's 2nd birthday is coming up and just Thursday I experienced all of these emotions thinking about what to do for his birthday. For Ellie we had a party with her friends but Mikah does not know...Thank you for posting your thoughts. It gives me the courage to do the same.Michelle S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05866324560268001043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755184336117015044.post-7534522634046649362009-01-17T16:04:00.000-08:002009-01-17T16:04:00.000-08:00I recently found your blog, thought this was a goo...I recently found your blog, thought this was a good time to say "hi".<BR/><BR/>I know all about "the bubble" I started taking Goldie to a playgroup with a mix of typical kids and kids in EI. I've learned to put my blinders on when I go in there. Some of the moms are very immature and compete with each other via their babies. It feels as if my life is on a completely different plane than theirs. I keep reminding myself that I am there for Goldie and try to focus only on her while we are there. It gets easier, or maybe my skin is getting thicker :)Brandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704697731192764110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755184336117015044.post-26355464349892870502009-01-17T11:58:00.000-08:002009-01-17T11:58:00.000-08:00I COMPLETELY understand the feeling you were descr...I COMPLETELY understand the feeling you were describing. I get it too sometimes! I can be going along fine and the mention of 'milestones' or something like that will remind that we ARE walking a different path. And I wonder what I am 'missing out' on... I wonder what the future holds for my baby boy? But I quickly remind myself that I have NO IDEA and I cannot ever tell the future. We only have today, deal with today, celebrate today and what we do with today shapes our tomorrow.Loren Stowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029794638872184342noreply@blogger.com
