[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I don't feel like a $hitastic Mom because of not doing crafts. I am trying not to be so hard on myself and I shouldn't judget KH either. I just saw this post and I am sure she has tough days, she just chooses not to dwell and focus on them!

I need to be more positive myself! [/quote]

I don't really care about Kelle Hampton.  I think she wants a TV show and that's what her blog is really about.  But I read this post and I have to say that it sounds like she is in deep denial about her baby's DS.  I can't believe that she and her husband are looking at her baby's "choppy movements" and worrying that this is because of DS!  Clearly, they are hoping she will somehow turn out "normal" in the end regardless of her DS.  My niece has DS and my SIL is the best mom to a special needs child that I have ever seen.  I know it is hard for her sometimes because our little girls are the same age (3 weeks apart) and she constantly has to look at the differences between the two kids.  There are so many differences you can't even begin to list them!  Also my niece has been through some life-threatening health problems which are common with DS children.  I admire my SIL and her husband because I know they are constantly confronted with their baby's differences and they deal with them and talk about them but they are still 100% proud of their daughter and her many accomplishments.  It sounds like Kelle and her husband are going to face some difficult realities at some point because babies with DS are cute and charming and you can easily lie to yourself about the future.  Kelle seems so very proud of herself for loving her baby "anyway"  but I think she has yet to accept the whole DS package.[/quote]
