The mom of six opened up to PEOPLE last month about Jones' unexpected birth, saying she had been “shocked” to find out her newborn had been diagnosed with Down syndrome and a rare congenital colon abnormality that kept him in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for at least a month.

“It was not on my radar at all. And I refused to believe it. I just wanted to hold him and for everything to be OK,” said Maynard Johnson.

But she said Jones “just folded into all the other craziness” once he got home, and theformer reality star isn’t taking a second with her newborn for granted.

“I’m still learning about Down syndrome, but I’m trying to also just experience Jones as Jones and not as different than any of the other kids,” Maynard Johnson added.

“I have no expectations. He’s perfect and everything is going to be great.”
