A Start

I opened this blog a year ago but was not able to post anything. Got too busy with life I guess. I wanted this blog to be a sounding a board, a place where I can share my experiences as a mommy. I was compelled to write since I started noticing that my second child, Micah, had developmental delays. Before his 12th month, it dawned on me that he wasn't doing so much of what my 1st born was at that age. It was a frightening feeling. I got goosebumps everyday until we got him to a developmental pedia. I couldn't even throw him a party for his 1st birthday because I was too busy worrying and researching about what condition he may have. Some people thought I was crazy. Everybody was telling me, "he's too young". "Let him grow up first." "Wait and you'll see he'll be as talkative as Mikel too." Did I take their advice to wait and see? No. This is my kid and I never doubted my instinct as a mommy. God entrusted me with these precious beings and it's my responsibility to take good care of them alongside my husband. I prayed, and God's leading got us to where we are now.

Join me in my journey! I will post past events so you will have an idea and can relate to the present ones. I hope this blog can be of help to you whether you are a mommy of a child with special needs or a neurotypical one.  Feel free to share your experiences as well. Other readers would surely appreciate your input. Thanks!

My boys, Mikel, Micah and Mike.
