OK....I guess I will jump in and introduce myself!
I'm Connie, married to a wonderful man named Michael for the last 7 years and mommy to 4 beautiful children Griffin 6, Gray 4, Collin (DS) 2 and Lauren 7 weeks.
We did not know Collin had DS until he was born but I had some motherly intuition (a story for another time). Collin was born with ASD, VSD (x2), PDA and mitral valve regurgitation. All but the valve problem is expected to take care of it's self. He is basically very healthy.
All my children have been blessings but he has taught me more than any of them and I would not change him for the world. Collin seems to have touched everyones life that he has come in contact with.
If, I can figure out the picture thingy I will try and post one later.....
Connie

Hi, Connie
My name is Staci, and my little guy's name is Aidan (20 months last Sunday). I was just reading your intro, and wanted to say hello, and what caught my eye was that you had some motherly intuition that your son had DS before he was born. I also had that same intuition, even though we didn't "know" until after he was born, I already "knew". I've always wondered if this has happened a lot. I would love to hear your story sometime, though.

ok.....I've figured out how to post a picture of my boys....but, they are life size! So, until I figure out how to down size them you'll just have to go see them in the Photo Album.

Hi, Connie.
I'm fairly new here, my little boy (Aidan!) is only 2 months old. I had no "motherly intuition", but I did have a dream beforehand, at about 6 months along I guess. I woke up in a cold sweat and thanked God that it was just a dream........then three months later, SURPRISE! It really wasn't a dream after all. Still, we love him so much and he's so cute and healthy that we really wouldn't change him. Incidentally, Collin was a name that we seriously considered for Aidan. My husband is from Australia and the name Collin is very popular there.
Nice to meet you and I hope to see some pictures of your little guy soon. I'll try to post some of my Aidan soon also.

Mom to Catie, 14 and Aidan (DS) 2 months
