Our son is now just about 4.5 months ‘young’
I agree that he loves to sleep. In the beginning, our doc told us to wake him up twice a night for feedings. Well, I cheated and woke him up only ones He’s in the 75% tile for height and weight, so I wasn’t really too concerned We have 3 other children. 12, 10, and 3. We really…[Read more] -

Hello Lisa,
Thank you for sharing your information. I was thinking about your post for quiet a while because I was wondering the same about my 10 year old… actually, he’s turning 10 next week
When we found out that we were expecting, the doc told us we’d have a girl first. Our son was devastated at the time, cause he’s already got two…[Read more] -

Hello Justin. Thanks for your feedback. I think our 3 year old is still a little to young to understand what it really means, but I agree that we should explain to his older two siblings what’s going on. Only…. I think that both, my husband and I are still trying to understand – daily, so it’s difficult for us to convey this to our older…[Read more]

Hello Heather. I just became a registered member to this website and am reading everyone’s post. Like yourself and Andrea, we didn’t know either that we were expecting a son with DS. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to getting to know more parents who are confronted with the same situation and am looking forward to learning tons from it

Can anyone tell me from their experience what a good time is to tell them? His siblings are 12, 10, and 3. None of them have noticed yet that he’s…[Read more]

My son, Jeff, was almost 10 when Jenny was born…he was told the day after Jenny was born. My son, Kenneth, was only 14 months old but he has known since he was 2 or 3…a little bit more each year. Kenneth is only now (at 11) truly realizing the differences between himself and Jenny…hard sometimes for him to deal with, but he too joins in…[Read more]
