Okay, I just registered for membership... There are no registration forms for the Convention yet. But I'm so excited you all are coming down here... Can't wait to meet everyone. I checked the other posts and It's hard to tell who is really IN and making plans to come. So sign up on this post so we'll know for sure. This is gonna be FUN!!!!

We have made reservations at the hotel and plan on registering when NDSC makes that available. However, now that I am pregnant things may change. I will be 7 months at time of conference. I delivered Wil at 7 months (and not because of Ds, he was taken emergently due to my high risk status). It remains to be seen how high risk this pregnancy will be, depends on the babies blood type but it is possible we will have to bail at the last minute. I sure hope not, we are really looking forward to it. __________________ Stacy Mom to Luke 10/02, Wil(DS) 3/31/05 Wife to James

We won't be attending the conference, as I'll have her along and I don't want her swearing at people during presentations. LOL But I want to meet all of you guys! So, a couple days in the hotel "doing stuff" etc. sounds fun to me! __________________ ~Leah~ mom to Noah 18, Tyler 17,Angela 9 (DS) downcues.com

I'm still working on it...depends on Judah's job situation. If he's still employed at the end of Feb. I'm so there. I'm bringing one of the mom's from my local DS group here. So, now you all have to pray Judah's job is stable then we can come out there and play with all the babies!!!! __________________ Carmen "The joys of parents are secret, and so are their griefs and fears: they cannot utter the one, nor will they utter the other."

We are planning on it....but with my husbands business....things change quickly around here. I have alot of faith that things will work out.....but as it gets closer...I'll know for sure. Honestly, I can't think of a better place to go on our summer vacation. Getting to meet everyone and hug and kiss our beautiful kids.....that has got to be better than any amusement park. The fact that Atlanta has so many things to do...it looks like a great place to go. __________________ Lisa Mommy to Elayna 10-1-02 and Daniel Ds 6-7-05 Always have hope....Without rain, there can be no rainbows.

I'm in...got my hotel room booked, checking in Friday and not leaving until Sunday! My bro and SIL just went to the new aquarium today-they said it was awesome and their kids loved it-for those of you staying longer than a couple of days, I do not think it is too far from the hotel- I probably won't get there for a while...I cannot wait to meet all of you guys! __________________ Michele Mom to Marty (7/3/02, DS) and Marissa (10/22/04)

We are going...we won't actually go to the convention most likely, and we are staying with my family in Atlanta instead of at the hotel, but we will meet you guys for dinner or whatever you do...ALSO there is that new BIG aquarium in ATL, if anyone is interested(who isn't going to the convention) I was thinking how FUN it would be to get together and go there maybe on Friday afternoon or Saturday???They just took my niece(2 years old) and she LOVED it! So anyway whatever you guys think...just a thought!-Courtney __________________ Courtney-Wife to Chris- Mommy to Koby (12/16/04) "Attitude, is the Disability"

I don't want to have to bring Angela into any conferences. When it's quiet like that (like church) she's busy making faces at people and trying to get them to laugh and generally a distraction.

I'm coming to Atl at least just to meet everyone. I'm really not interested in the convention, so ya'll be sure to keep us stragglers up to date on where you are staying and when everyone is meeting up. Didn't someone mention everyone meeting up on Sat. night??

The San Antonio DSA is sending some people to the conference....pray that I can go. It's based on volunteer hours from last year. I came in 7th place. They're sending 2 people to the World conference in Canada, and 4 people to Atlanta...so if someone in front of me can't go, I'm in! I don't know when decisions will be made??? ~kenna __________________ ~McKenna~ Mom to Darah Faith (8-11-04) Darah's Website

It is looking likely that we are going to have to cancel our plans to go to the conference. High Risk pregnancy will not allow me to travel during that time. I have not cancelled our reservations yet, if someone is having a hard time getting a room at the hotel let me know. Hopefully I can just change the name of the reservation without a problem, I would love to pass it on to one of you guys. __________________ Stacy Mom to Luke 10/02, Wil(DS) 3/31/05 Wife to James
