Hi! My name is Michele. I am 37 years old and the Mother of Lauren (19), Blake (15) and Max (3months.) Yes I know, what an age difference! My first intro post was needing help with posting pics so I felt the need to reintroduce Max appropriately. Max was born on April 17th 2006. We were approached by his pediatrician the second day in the hospital with concerns of him having DS. Later genetic testing proved positive. His Dad sat sobbing uncontrollably while she explained to us some of the obstacles he may face, while I had an overwhelming feeling of peace come over me. I could not cry. It was almost like God was holding me and reassuring me that it was going to be OK. And it will! Yes, I have had my moments of heartache, sadness and worry, but I know that God sent him to me for a specific reason. And how thankful I am that he did! I would not change it, or him for anything in the world! His heart, hearing and eye testing came out perfect! What a feeling of relief that was! Max is such a sweetheart. He's always smiling and laughing. And who said "you cannot spoil a baby?" Ha!....I beg to differ! Max has been sleeping all night for about a month now. He is having OT once weekly and his therapist said his actions are appropriate for his age. YEA!! I feel blessed to have this little guy and a perfect bill of health. I want you all to know how highly I think of you. You are all great Mothers, and your children will benefit from you and your efforts to keep our children's lives as normal as we can. I pray for all of you who are having to see your children go thru surgeries and difficult times. Just know this, trust in God and give all your worries to him, and he will see you thru it! God bless you all.

Hi my name is Karen , i was 37 when i had my 3rd child, little Abbey, our ds sweetheart, my hubby and i thought everything went soo well, the labour, the birth and a beautiful healthy little girl.
We found out later in the afternoon that she had ds, i was alone when they told me...what a mess i was, i phoned my hubby and he freaked out, sobbing etc, then we went thru so many emotions, but the main one was Love!!!
And now Abbey is just over two and a pure joy, we where lucky as she also had no hip or heart problems, but she does have lazy eye muscles and need glasses...(no big deal)
Our whole family has been blessed...just like your family
A big welcome, this is s great place to be.

Welcome. Max is a cutie and you are right we are blessed to have our beautiful kids. We love all of our kids but there is something special about Talitha - even our other kids agree. They are not at all jealous of her, in fact, they treat her like royalty.

Welcome to the forum! You are going to love it here.
I too had a very strong feeling when Robert was born that he would be supported by the universe. I was the one telling the midwife not to cry, not the other way around!
I felt so strong that there was nothing for me to worry about...... it was the way it was supposed to be! I find it hard to explain this to others..... you put it so well.
I love those pictures on MAX!
Congratulations on his arrival!
