Thank you! My only suggestion to you is be prepared to have a wonderful little baby that will keep you awake…Get some sleep as often as you can

Your baby is going to be great! You are going to develop a bond with her that I can’t even explain right now. Something will change [...]

I challenge all of you to send a version of letter below to your HR departments, executives, organizational leadership, schools administrators, business that you work with, friends, family, etc.

The word “retarded” is being used more and more and it is something that not only bothers me but I’m sure many others who may no feel [...]

Hey Justin, I had a question I did want to ask you. I see that you have other children are they older or younger than Teddy? We have 4 other daughters all under the age of 5. I have not figured out how the best way is to explain to them about their unborn baby sister. I have been told by others to tell them and not to tell them. I am not sure what to do nor say. They are all so young, will they even notice that anything is different with their sister when she is born? Down syndrome is not what their sister is, it is something she has. Sorry I know this is a very odd question. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hey everyone. It’s been awhile since I’ve been here. Catching up with every thing Bradley is doing,appointments etc. He is now 10 months old has his two bottom teeth pretty much all the way through now. He’s babbling like there is no tomorrow and loves to play rough. lol he’s a big boy. Eats toast and loves his bananas, pears, juice, still can’t get him to eat any type of cereals especially rice cereal. He gets uncontrollably sick for hours. We saw his dietitian yesterday and gave us alot of good advice as to what we should be giving him at this stage. (YES SPAGHETTI!!) We finally got set up with a Physiotherapist who will be starting to come by our home next week to help with Bradleys muscle tone as he still can’t quite hold up his head on his own but he sure does try. I put up some new photos in his profile photo album. If you have a second have a look.Hope all is well with everyone and have a great day. Bradsdad

Hi Justin – once again thanks for putting together this great web site for everyone.I just got a comment on one of my posts from Diana in Mexico. She is student teaching a 4th grade class and there is a child with down syndrome in the class – she was looking for tips to help her educate this child. I set up a forum topic – but I am not sure if this is the way to get responses back from other parents. Is there a more ”public” way to help Diana? Thanks!
