Just another ordinary day...
A blog about my life as a SAHM to 4 children ages 11, 9, 3 1/2, and 13 months. Our baby was diagnosed with Down syndrome at birth. He has already taught us many life lessons. The daily ups and downs of daily life with four children will be shared here...

"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. 4 comments from 4 users

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...

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.

Hello Monica ~ I am so happy to see you here. I'm a mother of four kids as well, about the same age as yours. I am so impressed with your attitude about raising your family. I look forward to hearing your blogs.
