My new friend, Diane sent me the link to this site. I thought I'd stop in to introduce my little one, Jenna. She was born December 14, 2004. She has 3 older siblings, Nick 14, Travis 10, and Laura 7. We have been blessed with our little angel.

Kimberly, I am so glad you joined Downsyn. You will love it. And more importantly you will find TONS of information from so many incredible people. MaryEllen and Jenna are too cute together huh? I am glad they got to play together. Here is to many more play dates for the girls.

Yes, Jenna was a surprise. Our youngest was 4 and we were done, or so we thought. I was shocked and terrified when I found out I was going to have a 4th child. I cried for 2 weeks. Then at about 10 weeks I was advised I had miscarried. Yet on a follow up visit there was a heartbeat. Jenna would have been a twin. I changed doctors midstream because the triple screen test came back elevated and the rude nurse had called a left a message with my then 12 year old for me to call about my test results. I couldn't get anyone by phone so I went to the office. I was treated horribly. I did have a 3-D ultrasound which showed no visible signs of any birth defects. I elected not to do amnio since it wouldn't have made a difference. I had a feeling but kept it to myself. Jenna had absolutely NO health issues, praise the Lord. She has been a blessing and has only been ill twice and those were minor.(croup and sinus infection)
