Welcome to Uno Mas! My name is Kim and I am the mother of three boys. My middle child, Gabe, is 22 months and has DS. This is a great place especially when you are just learning about your child's diagnosis. The first couple of months seem so overwhelming and you hear so many different scenerios that you become mixed with emotions. I found that uno mas and the parents here were the only place that I could be honest about how I was feeling, and if I was just angry about DS it was okay, and if I was happy and wanted to celebrate a milestone that seemed so ordinary to everyone else, that was okay too. I am so glad that you have decided to join a great family. Good luck with your little angel.
Kim wife to Tony, mother to AJ(3), Gabe (DS)(22months),and Brady(2 Weeks)

That would be really cool Christie! Something we could plan in the spring, maybe? That way you can give Annette and I a chance to settle in with new babies?
Sorry Deanna, just saw your post...been busy all weekend, so just catching up. When my Mom was pregnant with me, her due date was 12/25. So, I was almost a Noel. Holly was another name she liked. Then she took the Christ out of Christmas and named me Christine. I must say, I'm very happy with my first name. Noel would fly as well with my DH as Brooklyn! LOL By the way, just wondering, but do you all think I'm saying "Darling Husband" when I abbreviate there? LMBO!!!! UGH! I want my body and my mind back!!!

Welcome Marisa to Unomas! I am glad you have found this terrific web site. I am Debbie and I have Mosaic Down syndrome. I am forty four. I live here in Texas with my parent's. I have a sister who is two years younger and she has five girl's. The oldest is sixteen and the youngest is seven. They are an active bunch! My parents and I drive down there or up there to visit and help out. We will probably have Thanksgiving with them this year. It is just around the corner you know! I am a high school graduate. I enjoy reading, writing poetry from time to time, getting on the Internet, and volunteering in my community here where I live. I will look forward to reading your messages!
