What beautiful children. Thank you doe sharing.

Hi Kathy,

We are doing well. I had Cruz on December 7th. I am thankful as Cruz was born a whopping 9lbs 10.4oz. His O2 sat levels were very low so he was in the hospital for 2 weeks and was discharged on my birthday December 22nd. He has no other complications. I am trying to get my life on track which is a bit difficult as I am trying to continue nursing him by expressing my milk since Cruz is not latching on feeding is slightly diffficult.

My children are excited that he is home. (DS) is very helpful with him and tries to hold and feed Cruz as much as I will allow him.

Kathy thanks for all your suggestions especially the prenatals. I am believe the prenatals really helped in Cruz's development. Though the results are positive for Trisomy21 the doctors & nurses found it difficult to believe he has T21. Due to his alertness and the T21 features aren't as prevalent. I am attaching pictures of my new little one.

Thanks for checking on me.

How have you been & how are your little angels?

Look forward to hearing from you

Hello Multiples-DS Group

Time goes so fast it's hard to believe it's been 8 weeks since I last checked in! Here it is.... today I have an appt to get induced. My newest addition to the family is refusing to push his way down so we must assist. I am 41 weeks 2 days & my 6th child I thought he would just slide his way through the birth canal. Cruz (DS) will be here tonight or tomorrow morning..YAY!

(DS) is growing & talking more these days..He is very expressive, I look forward to seeing his nurturing spirit toward his little brother Cruz.

I have been meaning to post & share our experience at the BuddyWalk this year. I found out is very confident in himself or I call it "Vanity". Back in october we attended the San Diego Buddy walk and our local DSA had a picture of him on their poster. He attempted to take the poster than the President gave him the large poster they had of him. They use to set it up in the Pavillion or at different DSA events. It was our first time attending the BuddyWalk & we came home with a 3 foot picture of . He carried it all the way to the car & wanted no help from any of us. Then he showed it off to everyone he came in contact with. I thought it was hillarious as I never imagined he knows how to love himself.....

My other children are always excited at 's progression and soon we will have Cruz to love & observe his growth & development.

I am truly a blessed woman & look forward to posting pictures of Cruz when he gets here

Here are a few pictures of our family. Please enjoy

Hi,

sorry have been really busy this last month. Wow, what a big boy! I can't see the features either. I am glad that he made it home for x-mas. What a nice birthday present too! Trinity turned 1 last week, and I had help decorate her cake. It was nice and quiet with just us celebrating. I will talk to you soon,

kathy
