Where’s my medical mamas at?!? Just a reminder you are amazing and I know everyday has its own set of challenges but we are doing it!! Fighting for the best for our kids, taking them to all the things, bringing all the equipment, going through our check lists, and going through it again just to double check, maybe triple 🙃. Staying up late worrying, also having so much hope and joy in the midst of it all. Knowing our days are harder and longer than most, also appreciating and having so much gratitude for what most take for granted. We live in a constant state of BOTH/AND and have to get more comfortable with it. Our thresholds are beyond what we ever thought imaginable and we are greeted with more “I don’t know how you do it?” than we can count but the fact of the matter is we all would, as moms, we would all do anything for our children we just have more opportunities to show that 🤍. Thinking of you all today and I want you to know how proud I am of you and me, we’re doing it ✨ #downsyndrome #adoption #foryoupage #momsoftiktok #medicallycomplex #fyp

Luca is the definition of an over comer and we all can learn so much for him. Just a reminder on a Wednesday my friends, we got this 🤍 ps- Luca does this all day long and I can’t get enough, he is literally the cutest little love in the WORLD 🥰 #downsyndrome #adoption #foryoupage #momsoftiktok #fyp

We are SOOOO excited to share we are moving to Nashville, Tennessee!!! This is something we have prayerfully and thoughtfully considered for quite some time… As you all know, an inclusive environment for Aria in school has been hard to navigate here in Florida. It was an endless fight and even though I was getting some systems to work with us it came down to “do I really want her in an environment where I have to beg for her to belong there?”. This was hard to face. Also the reality of “what I am wanting for her she would be the first”. There is so much beauty in that but also knowing everything she would have to face in a system not set up for her, did not seem fair to her. We started researching to see if we could find somewhere that already implemented these things and we found it at the county with the top schools in the nation. Since the moment I got Aria’s Down syndrome diagnosis, I prayed my kids could all go to school together and I’m so grateful to share in the Fall they will be 😭. Since we brought Luca home from the NICU, many of you know the difficulties we have faced in his care. Florida Early Intervention has been so disappointing and the healthcare has been so frustrating. I need more and better for him and he deserves more and better. Tennessee Early Intervention is wonderful and we will also have access to the top hospital and Down syndrome clinic. Mia and Kai are thrilled. Mia’s best friend moved there about a year ago and she’s so excited to be able to walk to her house. We have so many exciting opportunities for them and they will be able to attend school with everyone in the neighborhood, at their age this is so important. Because of the neighborhood we are moving, we can’t bring our animals with us (except for Ginger), we are hoping the buyer will want to keep them here and all together so they can stay in their environment. This was a difficult choice but we have to made these decisions for our kids at this time. I’ll share more of a timeline as it get’s closer! The journey continues, thanks for being here friends! Where’s my Tennessee peeps at?!? TN hats are the amazing @jasondemeo

I’ve gotten to experience the purest, sweetest love for six months now. Six months of joy, beauty, cuteness, snuggles, and so much love. These six months have changed me forever. I love you my Lukie, celebrating milestones with you is just so much sweeter 🤍 #downsyndrome #adoption #picu #foryoupage #momsoftiktok #fyp #adoptionjourney #sixmonthsold
