Just another ordinary day...

Just another ordinary day...
A blog about my life as a SAHM to 4 children ages 11, 9, 3, and 9 months. The baby was diagnosed with Down syndrome at birth and in his short 9 months has taught us many life lessons. The daily ups and downs of daily life with four children will be shared here...

Momx4 - > Just another ordinary day... -> "Your Baby has Down Syndrome."
"Your Baby has Down Syndrome."
"It looks like your baby has Down syndrome,” my OB/Gyn announced shortly after the birth of our fourth child, John Michael. Down syndrome? Are you sure? Two weeks later, the diagnosis was confirmed by a genetic test. He had an extra squiggle at the 21st chromosome. Trisomy 21. 

Nine months ago, we entered into a new world. The world of special needs -- therapists, teachers, and ALTA Regional Center. A world of amazingly caring people in the Infant Development Program who help you help your child reach his fullest potential. I am humbled by their generosity and kindness.

Welcome! My 14 1/2 yo son has Aspergers Syndrome. It's lucky you got such a fast diagnosis. Your son looks beautiful and happy in the picture. So cute! It's wonderful that we have such good local resources for special needs children in the area.

Alta Regional Center has been a lifesaver for my friends with special needs children and I'm glad you've connected with them. Welcome and I look forward to hearing about your journey...
