Hi all, I just wanted to indroduce myself as I have been lurking on this site and think this it is a great community for me to be part of. My name is Marisa and I have two beautiful girls. Kathryn, who is 3.5yrs, and Laura, who is 5.5 months and has Down syndrome. A little background on Laura: Laura was born full term and is a happy and healthy little girl. We (my husband Mark and I) were unaware she has DS when I was pregnant and are happy it worked out that way. I think I would have worried the whole time if I knew. She is recieving OT twice a week and will probably getting ST once a week after her evaluation this week. Her favorite person is her big sister, who is just amazing with her. I have a lot of support from family (most anyway) and friends, but I don't think they can give the support that other parents can. That is my story in brief and I look forward to contributing and receiving from this site!!

Welcome Marisa! I look forward to hearing more about Laura and Kathryn too. We did not know about our son Patrick's Ds before he was born either and I am glad it was that way. It sounds like Laura is doing great. Please jump right in and start posting. Mary

Welcome to UnoMas Marisa. I am so glad you found this wonderful group. It has been a Godsend for me. I am a single mom to Alyssa-11, Jacob-8, Jarod-4, Justin (DS) 21 mos, and ~i~Jordan (DS) 1/20/03-2/2/03. I had delivered a rare set of identical momo twins with DS. I sadly lost Jordan at 13 days old due to complications of prematurity and hydrops. Justin is now 21 mos old, is getting PT/OT/ST every week (FINALLY!!!). I look forward to hearing more about your family. WELCOME!!!!

Hi Marisa! Glad you came out from the shadows! My name is Christine, mom to Ryan (our Christmas present in 1999) and expectant mom to what we affectionately refer to as Little No-name. (Yes everyone, she still has no name.) I hope this site is as helpful to you as it has been to me. The people here are wonderful, kind and passionate. I really feel that if it wasn't for their amazing kindness and willingness to share, I would never have been able to deal with the news that was dropped on me like an A-bomb back in August. Now I sit and wait for this year's Christmas present to arrive. I look forward to learning more about you and your family! ;D
