Today I am 28 weeks, which is officially the start of the third trimester. That’s so exciting and scary at the same time! The last trimester was when it started to get rough when I was pregnant with Leilani.

18 Month Update
Holy Crap! Leilani is 18 months old today! I don’t even know where to start with her. The fact that she has been in our lives for a year and a half is crazy to me. We are so proud of the little girl she has become and we’re so excited for her future!

Leilani’s Diagnosis – our reactions
Leilani’s story/diagnosis is so different than most. Most people find out if their child has Down syndrome either while they are pregnant, or the day they are born (or shortly thereafter). We had almost a full year of not knowing. And let me tell you, it was such a blessing in disguise.
Down Syndrome Facts
Knowledge is power. Do your research. Don’t just repeat things that you’ve heard from other people. If you are going to talk about something like Down syndrome, please know what you are talking about. Please understand that some things aren’t acceptable to say and may come off as offensive. Please don’t write my daughter’s future because of a diagnosis. All people are different, whether they have Down syndrome or not. If you have questions, ask.
Leilani’s Birth Story
This is the story of 1 amazing little girl, and how she has changed our lives…forever. She continues to change our lives every single day. Maybe she’ll change yours too.
