- I was having a baby with Down Syndrome!
Shocked! Scared! Overwhelmed! These were my feeling when My baby was diagnosed with Down Syndrome at Birth.
How would I handle a Special Needs Baby With 3 other kids. How did I do being pregnant with a Down Syndrome Baby?
In this video I sit down to tell you the story of when I found out my baby had Down Syndrome or Trisomy 21. You see, we really didn't know that she had this genetic disorder until she was born. So I tell my story so others can understand it, not be afraid of it and fall in love with Naomi just like us.

Hi guys so I wanted a little perspective if possible. I am 13 weeks pregnant with twins. At the 12-week NT ultrasound they saw that baby B had thick lining behind her neck. We got the nipt blood work done and my doctor said it's 88% chance that one of the babies will have Down syndrome, presumably baby b. However we don't know which one. My doctors are advising that I get an amniocentesis for each baby and I'm so scared and nervous and unsure. They have also talked to me about termination of pregnancy and potentially trying again with IVF. I am 38 years old and I don't know that I can take this emotionally or physically again. I also want to try to keep as positive as possible and I'm just not sure what to do.
I know it’s hard to find out your baby has Down Syndrome but believe me, they are still your baby and you can and will love them as your own. I personally would quit on getting test done and keep both babies. The test don’t mean anything to you unless you are wanting to terminate.
You will be amazed at how they will connect and grow up through the years together. The one without Downs will be a stronger person, more compassionate and loving. They will watch out for the other one and it will be beautiful. You are so blessed to be in this situation. For both of them to grow up together. It will be beautiful.
Also, I am praying for you. It appears to be devastating, but trust me, it is not. Watch some other videos with my daughter. She is a pure joy and an essential part of my family. All of us have become better because of the gift God has given us. Trust me when I tell you, Down Syndrome is not the end of the world.
Praying for you! I cannot imagine how difficult this all must be. That gut instinct you have to keep your babies alive is not a random feeling. It is a God-given instinct he has wired in you to defend and protect your children. There is nothing you will face alone. He will go before and behind you, and as Lei said, Downs is not a death sentence. It's an opportunity to enjoy your child in a unique and deep felt way! My situation is not the same, but I do have a young son with autism and I wouldn't trade him for the world. God has shown his faithfulness to us and has given him a beautiful mind that is able to see the world in wonderful ways! Please do not hesitate to reach out to Leilani if you need encouragement or prayer through this. She is a perfect source for the very situation you are in and it is no mistake that you found her channel and this video. 🖤 Hugs!
@@jessicaduncan114 thank you so much for your encouraging words. I hope and pray God gives me strength to guide me through the remainder of the pregnancy and afterward. I SHALL remember to update you. What a blessing that you all wrote back to me with such kindness and taking time out of your day to do so.
@@lovebug8482 you are so welcome! We are all praying for you because we know how hard it is.
People with Down's are the happiest people alive. They live in the moment, are so loving and affectionate. You are very lucky to have been chosen to have this human in your lives. She is adorable❤❤
I also have a child with Down syndrome his mother left him after birth and I’ve been raising him on my own since then he’s a perfect little boy I can’t imagine my life without him god bless you
You are so blessed!
My son has Down syndrome I was 21 when I gave birth to my son I wasn’t told he had Down syndrome until after the delivery. But I wouldn’t change him for any one he’s the most loving and caring person you could meet.
Hi Eveie: I have 2children with special needs . It’s hurt my heart that folks talk about abortion with special needs baby’s . I feel blessed with my 2 . Ms . Jill
Naomi is beautiful ❤I'm 39 pregnant with no 7 I'm due july 3 2021 I told the doctors I didnt want any testing that no matter what I would have my baby I had my anatomy scan last appt they should go over it with me next week I know that no matter what I will love my child god doesnt make mistakes stay blessed
How are you?
God bless you
I didn't do testing either but they looked at baby on thr ultra sound and things came back abnormal so now I have to go do blood work to see what's going on with baby.
@@Thehappyhomemakeris your baby Down syndrome?
Does your baby have Down syndrome?
I had my last child at 38 years old and at birth we found out that he has ds. I cried alot and i kept thinking this is so unfair. He'll be four next wk and he's such a blessing and a amazing little person.
My baby has the same like your baby
My beautiful Niece is a downs baby ..Drs said she wouldn't live past 20 & she is now 43! She is an Angel on earth, so much unconditional love and she lights up the room..Loved your story she is beautiful!!
That is so encouraging!
My brother is 64, back in the 50's they said he wouldn't live past 2. He reads, writes does basic math, terrible speller but hey! Funny, whitty, loving. Had heart surgery at 25. He now has beginning dementia. My parents fought to keep him at home back in those days. My father stole him out of the nursery and they called the cops on him...he said he was coming home to be loved...and so he was/is!
Isn't it crazy how people with differences were treated back then, really Not so very long ago. God bless your parents for fighting for him❤
Mothers will never turn their backs on her child regardless of their defect.your baby is Super Special.Gods gift why not .i love Naomi!!!

My grand daughter has down syndrome. After she was born I cried for days, not for me but my daughter because she is a single mother and I didn't know if she could give this baby what she needed. But she has surprised me and has done much better than I thought! She has been so strong ( much stronger than I was).This precious precious baby has awoken so many things in me that I didn't know I had! Lilyana is the best thing that could have happened to our family! I know I shouldn't have favorites but I think I have a little more love for her because of all the joy that she has given to all of us she made us realize that you can tackle anything that life has to give!!
My Dad did the same thing, he confessed. I am so thankful that things have gone so well with your family. They have such a cool personality that develops from this disability.I pray she continues to be a blessing.
Lilyana? Love that name!
So glad I got the best treatment for my autistic son who is only 4 years old I've been using Dr Oyalo Herbal medicine and it has been really helpful,💯 his speech has improved completely
Our son has Down syndrome. He is a huge blessing. He’s 7 now and I love him with all my being. He has made our life so much better.
Same age as Naomi now!
I knew a woman that was told that her child had down syndrome and the doctor advised abortion, out of profound Christian conviction, she decided to keep the baby, and guess what? The baby was completely normal ! She changed doctors.
Unfortunately, that happens all of the time.
You are a beautiful mother and all your children are beautiful
Unlikely when genetic testing has been done. Some scans are only ultrasound and can be less clear.
@@indigobunting2431 I'm not sure that he did any tests. I think that he wanted to make a quick buck on an abortion procedure.
Nice anecdote. Your friend is an idiot. Down’s syndrome can still be diagnosed later in life. And genetic testing is rarely THAT wrong
Your daughter is so beautiful. We have a little granddaughter who has Down syndrome. She is now 5 and is our greatest joy. I thank God for her and all the joy she brings everyday. Thank you for sharing your experience.
A lot of people who don’t have a special needs child don’t realise how blessed we are. My son has special needs too. He doesn’t have DS but his needs are complicated. Don’t feel sorry for us people. Our children are happy.
I am expecting a baby in a few weeks who has screened positive for DS. I know that I have not fully accepted it emotionally, even though I know, in my head, that it’s happening.
I am scared and sad.
I am scared for his future. I am scared that there is something wrong that the doctors can’t see and that we will lose him. I am scared to tell people that he has Down Syndrome because people are unkind.
And I am sad that I feel all of these fears.
I hope I can do this. I’m so glad I found your video tonight, because I needed to hear how blessed we really are.
Thank you for posting this.
I will say a little prayer for you tonight. It is not an easy thing to go through, but God is with you. I pray that you have peace and that your friends and family will rally with you. And it's okay to feel all of these feelings. It's comforting to know too, survival rate for babies with DS is high. You will do this and you will get through this. And best of all, you will have a little with you on this journey. One that will look at you, adore you and need you more than anyone else in the world. Enjoy this blessing.
I say sprayer for u too. My wife's in 3 rd month of pregnancy
Was it nipt blood test?
@@Veronica-op4hy Hey! Yes, it was an NIPT screen. He was born perfect and beautiful and rockin’ an extra chromosome. He is such a joy and we love him beyond measure. ❤️
@@cassiahunt5405 Aw God bless you and your family ♥️
I am currently 38 years old and 17 weeks pregnant with a down syndrome baby. He will be my 3rd son. Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you! I pray everything goes beautifully with your pregnancy and labor and birth. Your life is going to be so full!!!!
To Eve, Eric and baby Naomi. She is Beautiful. Bless you all ❤❤❤❤❤
My sister's down syndrome also went undetected during my mom's ultrasounds. Even when she was born, noone from the hospital addressed that she had downs. My parents kept wondering how she looked different features wise. However, we got to know about her condition after 15 days when she had some issues and we rushed her to the hospital. In india, back in 1995 down syndrome wasn't really heard of and we didn't have access to the internet to learn so much. My sister is the cutest thing in the world . I love her alot and she is one disciplined and adorable kid. I am happy to see you raise your daughter so well . God bless you guys !!
Thank you so much for sharing this!
I love how you accepted and loved and valued your daughter from the beginning, and encouraged your community to do the same. I know she is a blessing.
I know.

Amen my friend?God nlessy

I cared for people w downs, they were my funniest friends, we always had the best time
I think we need to strike a balance. Parents should be told having a Downs baby can be fulfilling and wonderful, but also very difficult with heart surgeries, cancer, delayed or absent speech, behavioural issues, intellectual and physical disabilities and short life expectancy.
We should never discriminate or dismiss the value of the lives of people with Downs, but parents can’t be lied to and told it’ll be easy.
But what child is easy, right?
No one is saying it's easy.. raising any child is the hardest job in the universe.

Thank you so much. I had our son at 39. I wasn't afraid of DS. I was raised with a family that volunteered with people with disabilities etc and so I knew... and I know your family truly IS blessed. Not just by God or Naomi but because of having YOU as a mommy.
My son was born with the "normal" number of finger and toes and chromosomes but had he not, I only hope I would have handled it with such grace.
I love you
Children with Downs are so sweet and loving. If I had money and somewhere to live I would love to adopt some of them. Your baby is beautiful and a very special gift.
Every good gift 🎁 and every perfect present is from above coming down from heaven James c1v17 Eileen
Our experiences were so similar! I was so heart broken at only 24 years old. She was my first child. I was scared and knowing she had to have heart surgery and also another surgery from another gi related birth defect… Omg my heart ached. They had to airlift her to the children’s hospital at 18 hours old. I made the doctors discharge me so I could drive 80 miles to go be with her. It was a hard time for me. I didn’t know ANYTHING about DS and I felt so lost and thought I did something wrong.. it was a very emotional time. But as time went on her father and I learned all about trisomy 21.. we educated ourselves, read all the books, we bonded with our child, I remember on the way home from the hospital I said her name and she opened her eyes and looked at me 🥺 omg my heart melted. She was so adorable. Like a little baby doll…
Looking back I feel so silly for crying… she is sweet and sassy and tells me no. She’s 6 now, She has 2 younger siblings now, she loves to sing and play. She is getting stronger all the time. Do we have like 8 doctors? Yes. Do we have therapy? Yes. But it’s so worth it. I wouldn’t trade her for the world.
Thank you so much for sharing!
I just stumbled across this video somehow and I am so happy. My son is 5 months old and he has down syndrome as well as a life-limiting heart defect. He already had one surgery and will require at least one more this year. The love a momma feels for her child with special needs is unlike any other love in this world. I love my typically developing daughter so crazy much but the love I feel for my son with down syndrome is different. It's hard to explain but if you get lucky enough to have a baby with special needs you'll understand. Thanks for sharing your sweet baby girl. It's so important.
So glad I got the best treatment for my autistic son who is only 4 years old I've been using Dr Oyalo Herbal medicine and it has been really helpful,💯 his speech has improved completely
I feel very sorry for your daughter, based on what you've said here. It's obvious your daughter will get very little of your attention while you favor your disabled son. Given how you feel about them, I hope your daughter is able to mature quickly and leave your house.
I've watched this so many times now, and I cry with joyful tears each time. Your words about your daughter make me so happy.
Sorry to make you cry. I am just hoping this starts to reach people who need it.
I have worked with special needs people since I was 13, 52 years ago. I tear up when I see them or hear healthy comments from their families because they are precious and bring so much joy. I love seeing your family at Shoresh David and watching them interact as well as the videos. Baruch ata Adonai .
I also have a 3.5 yr old daughter with DS. Thank you for your realness about your family. “Here is your sister” comment to your other children made me almost ugly cry. I very recently found your channel and enjoy your videos.
Thank you❤️
Not going to lie.. I cried of joy watching this. Once a parent, life totally changes in a great way. May God always bless and bring good health your daughter, she truly is a blessing in your life..
Thanks!
You can't get a more loving caring friendly person than someone with ds!! They are so loving
This was such a powerful video! Your daughter is beautiful! We adopted Sophie from China knowing that she had special needs but not the extent of her special needs. I can’t imagine how shocking it would be to find out when a child is born. I love what you said about your daughter being a blessing. Sophie is a tremendous blessing and I know God has a purpose for her life. When she was only 4 and just learning to speak, she would sit in the buggy at Target and tell strangers “Jejus love you!”.
Oh my that is so cute!
That's so precious! ❤
That is the sweetest thing I think I’ve ever read❣️ I believe that all special needs babies/children/adults are God’s worldly angels😇

I just found your channel. I work with Down Syndrome children and I have never met more genuinely beautiful souls as them. My life changed when I started in this field and I am truly blessed. The hardest part is saying goodbye when they move onto new programs. It hurts more than anything. God bless you all.
Thank you for your encouragement. ❤️
❤❤❤❤
Your daughter is precious , she is meant to be a part of your family.
She is so cute and looks like she has such a bubbly personality, god bless the whole family.
Oh my goodness, this sounds so much like what we went through before birth and right after. Midwife saw a couple of markers (bright spot on the heart and absent nasal bone) and did a screener, which showed an increased likelihood of DS. She referred us to the mfm, who saw NO markers, and no heart defects after looking at her heart alone for more than an hour! Total ultrasound time was closer to an hour and a half or two hours. Went back soooooo many times, and every scan was reassuring, no markers were ever found, and my husband was confident she didn’t have DS. I thought she might, but was glad she wouldn’t need heart surgery. We’re 15 days into a NICU stay now with our perfect little baby, and her extra chromosome, and she has a complete AV canal defect. She didn’t transition well and started to get grayish after they cut her umbilical cord. I’m so ready to go home, and they’ve gotten her 02 under control (even though she has baseline low saturation bc of her heart), but now they are flipping the script and saying that she has to meet certain feeding goals before they will discharge her. She is still above birth weight, they aren’t letting her eat on demand, but on an every 3 hours schedule, for only within a 30 min window, and the drs have pushed hard for bottle feeding pumped milk, as opposed to just nursing. I’m so discouraged.
🙏🙏
Oh my thank you Leilani for sharing your story! Naomi has a purpose she is so beautiful! God is good!
We were told everything was fine too after they thought she had a marker. At birth they did an emergency c-section and I was put to sleep. Dr woke me up and said she had Down syndrome. It feels like the whole thing was a dream. Can’t imagine my life without our Leah. Hugs to you.
Oh my? As a sibling of a down syndrome I can tell you what a blessing it will be! I learned what the true meaning of love
And all it encompasses
The world through his eyes was a place that saw only love and and joy for simple things. We were raised only to see him as the blessing he was! We lost him in 2009. I miss him so much! You're children will learn these beautiful things also
God bless?
I remember my mom was like that when I was born with Down Syndrome it was heartbreaking.
But thank you by sharing this video and I pray for everyone in the United States you have Down syndrome just like me.
I'm praying for your family god love you.
Thank you!
I just found this video and I'm absolutely in love ♡ I'm 40 and pregnant with my 2nd child. I haven't announced this to my friends and ALL of my family yet but the genetic testing came back inconclusive. After waiting 5 long weeks. The Dr told me when these tests come back like this they automatically delete from the system. So I did another blood test and I'm waiting for those results to come back. I felt numb when the genetic specialist told me there's a chance your baby boy could have down syndrome. But like you and your husband me and my husband are choosing to keep him and love him no matter what ♡ Thank you for posting this video. Your daughter is absolutely gorgeous BTW 😍
Thank you so much Kimberly. You are going to be so blessed, you already are!
She is absolutely beautiful, I love how much you love her and how proud and thankful you are of and for her. Your truly a inspiration for other parents going through the same situation. ❤
My uncle was DS and he was the heart and humor and joy of our family. He was a blessing to all of us and he remnded us what was really important in life. Enjoy your girl! She looks happy. Be happy with her.
I'm encouraged by your response to this situation. Your daughter is beautiful!
Thank you!
I have a brother with special needs and he has blessed our lives in so many way! Thanks for sharing your story and letting people know that children/people with special needs are a blessing from God. They are different, but that is not a bad or sad thing. God made us all different! 😊
I've had some very good friends with Downs and these guys and girls are amazing, and you and your family are also so amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome! Thank you, they do make great loyal friends.
Love this. I never felt uncomfortable with any special needs person. Just highly protective. I don't have any special needs close ppl to me. But I absolutely love and respect each person! God bless your family! May God bless Naomi with many wonderful kind people in her life. May God use her just as I pray he uses me for his good!
I too was 38. Pregnant with an unplanned totally miracle baby. My husband had been advised he was sterile due to a verified medical condition. At my 20 week scan it was determined my baby had downs. I was asked to do an amniocentesis which I refused. I was then sent to an expert in Pennsylvania who could tell you with certainty whether your baby was a downs baby. This doctor was very through. The scan lasted close to an hour. He looked at the neck for thickness. Measured femur for length. Many other things. He looked at my husband who is short and stocky. He gave us a diagnosis of 50/50. We had decided previously no matter what we were having this little boy. At his birth there was a rather quick moment where nobody was in the room but my husband and I. Midwife had went to dinner thinking it would be several more hours.my husband delivered his son. What a moment that was. Our baby didn't cry he just looked up at his father. I managed to hit the call button and a nurse arrived and ran out to get our midwife. Before we cut the cord she looked at my baby's hands. Apparently downs babies do not have lines on their palms at first..We had never heard of this but there were lines on his little palms and so he was not downs. Hes 26 now and although I've told him his story I don't believe he understands what a miracle he is. As of now I know several couples who have been blessed with a baby with downs and they are the light of their lives. My first child was born with cerebral palsy and hearing impaired so I know how much love and commitment it takes to raise a child with disabilities. I believe only really special parents are chosen. Your story touched my heart and brought back all my many feelings during my own uncertainty. Your little one is a beautiful child. ❤
Why wouldn't you have an amino?
@tiadavenport5465 it could potentially kill the baby plus they have blood test that do the same thing.
So happy you kept your little girl and live who she is. My Grandmother worked in an institution for Down Syndrome kids. Many babies were brought there only to be abandoned and forgotten. She told us many stories of the neglect and misunderstanding and most were very sad.
🦋👏🥰
Your message has changed my life! What an incredible mother you are and truly an inspiration to mankind! God bless you and your beautiful family!
Praise God. ❤️
I love how you handled introducing the baby to her siblings. She is beautiful. We almost named our baby Naomi.
Thank you so much.
This is such an emotional but beautiful story! Your daughter is such a blessing 💜 Thank you for sharing this with us!
I am so glad you enjoyed it. It was very difficult to post. ❤️
Yes, you definitely are blessed with your beautiful Naomi, however Naomi is blessed to have come into this world with such a loving strong family. May God bless and give y’all continuing strength throughout this amazing journey.💕💕💕💕💕
What a blessing from God! Blessing like little Noami show us how to be caring and compassionate as our Lord was caring and compassionate to us!
I'm so sad for your Aunt and Uncle. So many people regret those decisions. You a truly a wonderful person for welcoming your daughter into your life. I think you should definitely share as much as possible about the unique issues you've had to go through. You never know who you will bless with your story.
It is difficult to think about. I not really in touch with my aunt anymore and I would be surprise if she sees this. However I hope it keeps getting shared. Thank you❤️
Such an awesome testimony! Sharing this will encourage others who are also dealing with this surprise blessing.
I pray that it does, thank you!
How wonderful you are to reply to so many comments. It sure looks like many people really trust and appreciate your input. Bless you and your family.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us.I remember one relative of mine after telling them my daughter has Down Syndrome saying to me " I hope you don't hate that child" I said "hate her" why would I hate my own child,you love your child the day you find out you are pregnant and love them more the moment you hold them in your arms.she turned 2 in August and she is such a happy, naughty girl.she keeps me on my feet all day!!!
That’s crazy and that makes me sad too. That’s why I’m never ashamed to bring Naomi with me places and show her off. I figure the more people see her and get to know her, the more they see she is a person with feelings too.
I remember too, I didn’t mention this in the video, but when I first got the official diagnoses, for a moment, just a moment I was disgusted. But then I looked at her and saw that she was scared and needed me. I could see it all over her face and I fell in love instantly.
Yes! She keeps me running. I’m debating whether or not to talk about the “struggle” on RUclips - cause it’s real!
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE STORY! YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT MOM YOU DESERVE THE WORLD!! STAY STRONG AND HEALTHY TOGETHER WITH YOU CHILD🥰✨ LOVE THIS STORY!
Wonderful Mother! God bless this beautiful baby and the all family. ❤️
I cry while you were reading your post. with my daughter, nobody suspected anything while I was pregnant, but I didn't do the generic test I refused to do without knowing anything. 5 hours after I had her a doctor walked in to my room and told us your daughter had down syndrome, I didn't know anything about it and My heart shattered into pieces. I cried for days and weeks
Naomi is so beautiful people that say less is wrong she is a sweet blessing from God! ❤️
This is so beautiful! As a mother To a daughter with a plethora of health conditions I absolutely connect with your post! You’re so blessed!
Thank you!
Naomi is a beautiful wee girl. Blessings to you and your family.
Down syndrome or not Naomi came out to be a beautiful 👧🏼 girl, she’s sooo precious I can watch her over and over in the videos. ❤️❤️❤️
Leilani, this is an encouraging video and Naomi is so beautiful. She is blessed to have parents like you!
Leilani... you had me crying during your FB post. This is a beautiful video! Naomi is a blessing and will touch many people!
Thank you for sharing. Videos like this give me so much hope as well as education. I’m currently pregnant with high markers for Down syndrome, and we’re strong Christian believers as well. I’m optimistic that all will be well and God will watch over our little boy. We do not have any living children and he’s our last attempt, so we are very much looking forward to meeting him and showering him with love. ❤️
Congratulations!!!! He’s going to precious! Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Congratulations ! Be prepared to experience the wonderful love and laughter you will receive from this special person .. God Bless all
@@maureenoregan4109 I had no idea of the joy awaiting us! He’s five months old now, and every day is an adventure. I’ve loved every moment watching his development and him constantly learning new things. We are so blessed to have him! I can tell already he thinks that sweet little smile will always get him out of trouble!😉
My story it’s pretty similar to you except we had a boy and funny your daughter has my other daughter’s bday. He is 4 months now. We are truly blessed. Thank you for sharing! 💕
That is awesome! Congratulations on a beautiful son.
Totally agree with everything you said and went through. You and your daughter and your family are a blessing for this world.
I am a carer of my Downs neice and know first hand what a special blessing she is directly from heaven. I thank God every day for the gift and privilege. God bless.❤
America is only country I see online where people are so excited to have a baby with DS. A friend from childhood had a brother with it. He was the oldest of 5 children. He was such a sweet soul.
That's really sad that only people from America seem happy to have a baby with Down Snydrome.
Thank you for making the decision to keep that beautiful baby
OMG what a great message you posted to friends on Facebook.You invited everyone to love her and congratulated them on this new love they’ll soon be enjoying in their lives.
Hi Naomi, it’s your Auntie Yvette. We have not met but know that I send my love and prayers for God’s blessings always.🙏🏼
What a blessing to have such a precious friend to help you walk this road and process everything. She is absolutely beautiful and precious ❤️ this totally brought tears to my eyes. That smile 😍😍😍
Thank you so much!❤️
What a truly beautiful little girl x
Lucky family to be blessed with this little miracle.
And lucky tiny miracle to be blessed with such a loving family .
xx Jan UK xx
I loved the ended how you said not to be afraid of her or to interact with her. My family sometimes doesn't know how to interact with my son
Sirius, also known as the Sirius A, is the brightest star in Earth's night sky. The name means "glowing" in Greek, But actually its second brightest now.
Dear Naomi always glows much much brighter, making her the brightest star on Earth.
She is lucky to have you as a mother! She is also very cute!
I had my 12 week ultrasound yesterday and they said my baby has a soft marker for down syndrome. Her nuchal fold was 5 mm I cried and prayed. But today Jesus gave me peace. So I'm researching DS. I took NIPT test to confirm.
I’ll pray for you too. It is really hard getting that news. But it’ll be okay regardless of how it turns out. God gives you the strength. Thank you for sharing.
Hello there. I just found your video about your PRECIOUS daughter Naomi Eve. I can see and hear why I think God blessed you in such an amazing way. You are honest, transparent, compassionate, committed and have a heart for others. WOW!! I have a young friend that is the daughter of our pastor. Her third child was born with Downs. God has so richly blessed her, her husband, their children (who are in college now) and EVERYONE else that has come in contact with their son Dawson. Every baby, is created by the hand of God. He knows them before you. He has a plan. God does not make mistakes. I am praying for you and your family. 🙏💜
Thank you so much.❤️
This video was very affecting for me. Thank-you for challenging me - and everyone else - to adjust the lens through which we view others and our crazy, beautiful, unpredictable world.
We love love your channel. We are looking into homeschooling and you have been such a blessing and inspiration to us. You are a warrior mom.❤️
Naomi is a beacon of light and love in the world and I'm greatful you've shared your story with us. She always brings a smile to my face. She is lucky to have a Mom like you. God Bless.
This really hot home. My sister was terrified to meet my son who was born with a cleft lip and palate. I completely understood her fears but assured her everything was okay and he was not in any pain. Once she met him she fell in love and her fears were gone. Nobody looked at him different. When kids would look at him in the store I would carry him over to them and explain that he was born with a “broken” lip. Sometimes the parents would thank me. He looked different and that was confusing to him. Fast forward 21 years and my sisters grand daughter was also born with a cleft lip and palate. The way we handled it with our son helped her and her daughter to not be so scared or intimidated by what was to come. I was able to give helpful advise to my niece and explain some things to expect. I absolutely love how you worded your Facebook post. Your daughter is amazing. Having a child born different really does change a person and sometimes we just need that change.
Thanks so much, Tammi.
My friend had the same experience where the nurses and everyone didn’t say anything and she googled… The nurses even said no the baby doesn’t have it.. but ya, he did.
The beauty of your birth announcement via Facebook was profound and glorious. Thank-you.
Wow, that was a beautiful message that you posted on Facebook ! How you found those perfect words as you only has one day to process -they have to have been inspired ! What a powerful testimony, thank you for sharing it.
Thank you and praise God.
I watched your channel before my grand Daughter Eden was born Aug. 7, 2020. I grew up with a Down Syndrome little boy on my block in Los Angeles in the early 60's. My mother brought us up to look at everyone the same and we did. Back in 1990's I had the privilege to help host a Biker event called the Beach Ride. It was for the Exceptional children's foundation in LA. So when my grand daughter was born, I too feel it is a blessing. She has two older sister that just love her, and my (step)daughter is so wonderful with her. She has been lucky to not have too many health challenges yet, but knowing what might be, we are ready to all deal with it and love her to pieces. Thank you again for sharing your family with us. Hugs from Reno NV
Ahhh! Thank you for sharing! Many blessings!
She's beautiful! Tears tears and more tears! I'm so grateful to have watched this. I appreciated your honesty and praise God for your little tulip! 🙏 You and your family is a beautiful example of the love and goodness of the Lord!
Thank you so much!
I just found your channel and this was the first ever video that I've watched from you and I'm in tears! I feel like I've just found a friend! We have many things in common, we are believers and also have a beautiful daughter with Down Syndrome. We have two boys 7 & 5, and our sweet girl is 2 years old. We also have a RUclips channel and have been sharing this blessing and journey that God has chosen for our family in hopes that it will encourage others that have received this diagnosis. ❤️ I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!! 🥰
Yeah!!! I love meeting new friends on RUclips!!
New sub! ❤️ I adored your honesty throughout this video, especially with sharing your thoughts on briefly considering abortion and the story of what happened with your aunt when you were a child. What a beautiful baby! She's very lucky to have you as a mama!
Thank you!
So glad I got the best treatment for my autistic son who is only 4 years old I've been using Dr Oyalo Herbal medicine and it has been really helpful,💯 his speech has improved completely
Oh Leilani 💜💜💜 this video touched my heart and the tears are flowing! Such a beautiful baby girl 💜💜💜 No one knows what it’s like to have a special needs child until they have one in their lives 💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing, my twins were born a month ago and 1 of them has DS, and unfortunately a heart defect that will need surgery as well. She is still In the NiCu due to her oxygen saturation’s being unstable. We are looking at ohs sometime around 2-3 months old, but the NiCu stay is hard! Especially having her twin sister and other kids at home. She is the sweetest little baby tho- as soon as she was born many of my fears were gone- and I realized All I needed to do was love her just like any other baby💗
That brings back memories. I totally get it. Many prayers headed your way. ❤️
Leilani, what a wonderful story. Thank you so much for being so open. What a blessing your beautiful little girl is. Much love 💖🤗
SHE IS PERFECT IN HER OWN WAY. SO PRECIOUS. SHE IS SO SO CUTE! AND THAT BIG SMILE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MOST DS BABIES AND AS THEY GROW UP THEY SMILE ALOT!
What a testimony! She’s beautiful!
I am so sorry you have this burdon in your life, you seem so sweet and smart. I don't think well I know I couldn't have done it like you, you have the utmost of courage. Many of us don't understand how a mother could keep a child with this horrible disease.
Beautiful baby all the downs children I have met they are so happy and loveable, have a wonderful life ❤ xx
Your testimony is amazing and the way you handle it are so open ❤️ may ADONAI bless you and keep your family 🙏🏼
I do not have a down syndrome child, but I love, love ,love them!!! My older sisters were supervisors in a group home where there was a down syndrome girl and she was sassy and funny and made us laugh all the time. When I got married I was a monitor on a special needs school bus and the downs kids were always happy and very friendly. I had my first daughter at 36 yrs old and like you my amniocentisis came back negative for downs but the day she was born , her features looked downs so the nurse came over to us and told us she was being taken to the NICU to be tested for downs. And ,my husband, knowing how much I love those kids, saw how excited I got( not the normal parents reaction I know) and said " Becki, you shouldn't want her to have that, that's selfish of you!" But I couldn't help it! Every downs baby I've met is so happy all the time and when they grow up they are just a hoot to kid around with! That same daughter is now graduating college next year with a degree to work with special needs kids, so she feels the same way I do! Down Syndrome children are a special gift from GOD and I must say I envy all of you who GOD has blessed with one! My daughter is getting married in Sept. of this year and her and her husband have been talking about adopting a downs baby. I would be in my GLORY!!!!!
Ahh Thank you for sharing your story!
Blessings to you and your family Noami is beautiful and blessed to have a mom like you. Your daughter is a shining star. So is all your kids. It's a shame to think of people having abortions due to finding out there unborn baby has a disability but I salute you for wanting and loving Noami. You will always be blessed
You captured my heart for the words you utter about how proud a mom you are🌹🙏
She is adorable. What a blessing!
OMG!! She is adorable, a beautiful addition to your beautiful family!!!
Thank you! I recently received a screening that our baby is 95% at risk of Down syndrome and I really needed to see this. Thank you.
I just love the way you love your baby, how you kept her after she was diagnosed with Downs- Syndrom, She is so beautiful, I Bless you with lots of Guardian Angels and God, you are The Best Mom in the world and a woman like you for I'm that Mother too! Peace and Lot's of Love, Miss Sandra
Oh thank you so much. I really do try, I’m not perfect, but thank you for your encouragement!❤️
