In January of 2023 at 10 weeks, we found out through NIPT testing that our sweet girl had a 95% chance of having Trisomy 21. Of course the potential diagnosis scared us. We didn’t know what to expect but we did know that Emmalynn would be loved. After many appointments to monitor her growth and wellness, she arrived at 33 weeks on June 4, via emergency c-section due to fetal stress. she weighed 2lbs. 7oz. and spent 64 days in NICU. During her NICU stay she was officially diagnosed with Trisomy 21. Emmalynn has been a feisty, sassy and beautiful little fighter since day 1. She works hard in her therapies and never gives up. Every day with her is an adventure and I couldn’t imagine her any other way. Her personality shines through her smile and lights up our lives.
