I was 20 weeks pregnant when I was told there was an increased chance of our baby girl having Down syndrome. I went on to do further testing, a blood test called a QUAD screening that could separate my DNA from hers and check for genetic abnormalities. I waited 10 days for the results and finally got the call. The nurse was gentle and kind but dove right in on how they had just received the results and she wanted to call me right away. She said the test came back with the sample having a 100% clarity that our baby girl had Down syndrome. I left the house and drove to @tomasczernek office to talk to him in person. The second I saw him, I told him the results were positive. He looked at me, smiled, and pulled me in and held me so tight. He began to cry and tell me how blessed we are and what a miracle our little girl was, and how we were chosen and the lucky ones. I knew what he was saying was true and I really believed it, even though it was so hard. He listed all the things we could do for her and how we were going to make her dreams happen. We were chosen to be her parents and we were going to give her the world. He told me that we would buy a house when she was older, with an apartment in the back for her to live in and maybe she’ll get married and her husband would live there too. Then he stopped, “wait do people with down syndrome get married?” I told him I didn’t know, and he jumped right in with “well if she does get married he has to be freaking awesome”. He sat there with tears streaming down his face. He kept hugging me, and telling me how excited he was to meet her, and how he just knew she was going to be so cute. It was a conversation I never pictured us having but if we had to have it, this is how I wanted it to go down. It’s wild how much has changed since that initial conversation. How much I see it now, how much I get it, that she was always suppose to be ours, how much Tomas was right. We are so blessed and we are the lucky ones 🤍 #reels #reelsinstagram #reelsofinstagram #reelsinsta #reelsoftheday #viralreels #motherhoodreels #downsyndrome #downsyndromebaby #theluckyfew #upsyndrome #dsdn #nothingdownaboutit #trismony21 #momlife #chd
