I absolutely love this. I would say one of my biggest hopes in going about living my life with my chromosomally enhanced little boy is to show casual observers (as well as friends and family) how utterly “normal” our day-to-day is, and how my son and I are nothing to be pitied. I’d like to think that we lessen the anxiety around those tests for some people in this same way.

I’m so happy for you Amy! I never doubted for a nano-second that you were made exactly for Sophie and her for you! I personally feel like my child is magic (and I am not a sentimental type of person at all). You are an inspiration.

I don’t fall into either category myself … I don’t have a child with DS and I didn’t know you before – although I also grew up here (went to Saguaro HS) and worked for different publications so I’m surprised our paths didn’t cross somehow. I found your blog through Mothers Who Write (I used to work with one of your MWW students) and really enjoy it! I love your “mom humor” and touching stories. Thanks for writing!

you really do amy…you really demystify life with a DS child for the rest of us. I appreciate that you are so raw with your emotions as well, it makes me….gosh I’m just not sure how to put it into words….it just takes all the judgment out and leaves it open for understanding and working through emotions (if that even makes sense…)

One of the things that first struck me about you is what a devoted mother you are, how much you really love your daughters (& ray too, I’m sure!). Your day job puts you into all sorts of interesting situations, it would be so easy to get wrapped up in all of that, but you don’t. It seems that your family keeps you grounded and focused.

thank you for writing and letting the rest of us read along
