Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 Hi anne, I am so glad we hooked up through that Twins magazine letter. I am starting to feel really connected with this gourp. Finally someone who understands. Lots of someones!!! Welcome to the group. Debbie-mom to , , , & -ds 10 months personal info Hi, my name is anne I'm a mom to 6 year old , and 5 month old Brittany, andra, and . They were born at 32 weeks after an uneventful pregnancy (bedrest of course). While I was in the recovery room my husband told me that they were pretty sure that had DS, but they were testing all of the babies. They were born on November 23, 1999, Brittany was 4lbs 3oz, ALly 3lbs 3oz, and 3lbs 1oz. The girls came home Christmas week. While thay were waiting for to reach 5 lbs so he could have his heart surgery he developed NEC. He had a total colectomy, and after he stabilized from that he had the repair of the aorta and PDA closure. Before he came home they reversed the iliostomy which was great. He was never closer that one hour away. When he had his heart surgery he was 2 and 1/2 hours away. At one point all three babies were in three different towns. I don't remember much about the month of December. finally came home on Feb 5. After all that he went through The DS really was the least of his or our worries, but now I realize we must get to work. Has anyone experienced being happy and so sad at the same time?? I look forward to sharing your experiences and learning from this wonderful site. http://DSyndrome.com/Multiples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 Hi anne, Welcome to our Group. You have come to the right place for support, friendship, understanding, laughter and tears. I am mom to Sara and , who were born 11/17/94. They are 5-1/2. Sara has DS and does not. They have a brother Lucas who is nine.

I look forward to hearing more about you and your family. Marcia Mom to Sara (DS) and 5 and Lucas 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 Welcome anne, I'm Gail, and I have boy/girl twins, and Tara. Tara was born with Ds. My twins turned a year old back in March. I also have my oldest, Bobby who is 6, and Jillian who is 3 1/2. I very much enjoy this list, don't know where I would be without all these wonderful people! And yes, I do understand how you can be so happy and so sad at the same time. As I have just past the one year mark and reflect, I know I'm better now {emotionally} that this time last year. You have gone thru ALOT with your brand new baby , you need time to adjust {triplets I imagin is alot of work} never mind serious surgeries to get thru. Hope you have help{I didn't} there are other families with triplets here, I'm sure you'll hear from them! Again welcome!

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2000 Report Share Posted May 8, 2000 Hi anne, I had and some days still have those same feelings and my twins are almost 6 months. I am Katy mother of girl/boy twins and Tyler(DS) and 3yrs. I concived my twins naturally, but I had no idea until they were born that Tyler had Down Syndrome. is quite advanced in motor skills, she has been sitting for three weeks now and loves to stand. On the otherhand Tyler is right were he should be or little behind in gross motor skills, but his language skills are ahead of 's. I have to keep in mind that they are both different children and not to compare them to each other. Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2000 Report Share Posted May 9, 2000 Hi anne and welcome to you and your family, Congratulations on the birth of your triplets. My name is Mabel and have a set of triplets too, gbg, they will be 14 months old soon. They were born at 33+1 weeks, when I was 23 weeks I went on pre-term labor, I was supposed to be on bedrest since week 20. My Mother came to help me and stayed with us until the kids were three months old. My bedrest time was my last days when I did slept until 12:00p.m. I do miss a lot that but I will never trade the feeling of having this little ones around me the whole day. When I reached 19 weeks the doctors monitored my pregnancy monthly, never showed heart or GI or even her neck problems, so far she is a very healthy 20 pounds and 29.5 inches baby. I did noticed she didn't moved as much as the other two did but as far as everything was ok with her I was happy. When they were born I knew something was goign on with a and asked her nurse, her reaction was " How you know that? " My mom and my husband didn't believed me. It wasn't until the doctors officially said it. I had a week where I cried and everytime I was in front of her, my biggest fear was loosing after having her. Overprotection that was came to my mind but my husband remind me we had two other babies who need us as much as a's. One year has gone at this days a is treated the same with a little more attention. I dress the girls the same, feed the three of them equal. I don't treat her different because when I look at the three of them I see three angels who came to our lives to bring us joy and happiness. At this days she is almost crawling on her knees, she seats and play with toys, she gets pretty upset when Carolina or Cristian takes toys away from her and sometimes she gets them back, she even surprised us when she started to teething at 10 months old, so far she have 4 teeth and two on her way and after her birthday two mollars. I know for a fact we were blessed when we had her. God had a purposed when He chose us as her parents. I know we will have to deal with so many things in the future but I just live the present and help her as much as I can. My believe is once you become a mom your happiness sometimes turns in sadness too, not only for having a DS kid. I became more and more sensitive once I had them. Well sorry for this testament. Again, welcome to the list. This is a wonderful group, you will enjoy every family in here. Good luck with your triplets. Iam so sorry for what wnet through but soon he will be just fine. Glad to know you are all together. Take care.
