Take the time that you need to process this, then find a support group in your area. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family!
You've had a lot to process in a really short time, I don't blame you for wanting to hide under the covers for a while. I'm sure it makes his heart issues a little more intimidating as well. Take the time you need...

My best friends brother has Down's Syndrome and he was probably one of the most popular kids in my high school. Everyone loved/loves him and he has made such an impact on so many lives.
Please stay in touch and let us know how you're doing.
Your baby is a miracle. A wonderful miracle. It is okay and NORMAL for you to feel whatever mixed-up emotions you're feeling now. It's okay to mourn, to be angry, to be afraid. It's okay. And we're all here for you. You can vent or cry or whatever. But just know that your baby is so incredibly lucky to have you for a mother.
I'm sorry you got some news that you weren't expecting and you're having to process through that. Thinking of you all as you let go of what you thought and try to adjust to a new normal. Fwiw, I teach and know several kids with Downs who are amazing kiddos.

I know it must be hard but don't dwell on it. I have 2 friends that have downs children and damned if they arent the biggest love bugs in the world. Keep in mind we face life and challenges, and I can't tell you to be happy about it, no one can but honestly, you'll love your LO no matter what.
Try not to hate on those who try to keep it positive and if you are feeling overwhelmed with how to tell just keep it small. If you know how you'd prefer people to react tell them. Lots of love for you @babylimas . We are here for you no matter what.
Oh my goodness. I'm so, so sorry you got more difficult news to process on top of everything else. ((Hugs)) you're in my thoughts. Know that everyone here is willing to lend a shoulder and an ear for whatever you need to feel or say.

I was going to link to this same birth story. If you read the rest of Kelle's blog, you'll see a really beautiful story unfold, and how much joy her daughter brings. As other PPs have said, there is no wrong way to feel right now. It is completely expected that you would be overwhelmed with many different feelings at this time. We're all here for you on the boards, to listen and understand with compassion. Wishing you much strength right now.
I'm so sorry. I can't even begin to imagine the flood of thoughts and emotions you're dealing with right now. Hoping for peace, wisdom and acceptance for you and your family as you navigate this new direction in life.
I'm so sorry for what you must be going through right now. Take your time and lean on those around you. We have a family friend who's son has ds and he is the light of their life. Ill be keeping you in my thoughts.
I am so sorry, it will be a hard road, but remember we never receive nothing we can't handle. That baby will be lucky to have you as a mom, and much as you will be lucky to have him. Lots of love & hugs for you & your LO.
Infinite hugs and thoughts for you mama. Im sorry to hear about this outcome, and I can only imagine how difficult it must be. I hope everything works out for you in the end.
I'm so sorry you got more upsetting news. You can always come to us as guinea pigs when you need to vent, or just practice accepting something out loud. We are here for you! I will keep your family in my prayers!
