I was offered genetic tests/counseling as my Drew was born after I turned 35 (only by several months). They were very surprised when I turned them down. I explained that it wouldn't have changed anything for me so why do it. I applaud you for all you do, and I just can't wait to hug that sweet little boy of yours one day. I love reading your blog - you and Caden are an inspiration!Lucky Number Fivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021091759583661143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5236350969303953933.post-3279985581715445832009-03-24T07:43:00.000-04:002009-03-24T07:43:00.000-04:00I am very inspired by your words!I am very inspired by your words!Loren Stowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029794638872184342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5236350969303953933.post-31260720573934692202009-03-23T00:40:00.000-04:002009-03-23T00:40:00.000-04:00I still think you are just awesome and it is so up...I still think you are just awesome and it is so uplifting to read your blog.

I am 30 weeks now and I have not had an experience like this with our unborn son who has DS. I just don't know what I'm going to do when it happens, because it's bound to happen. I think I might flip out but you seemed to handle it very well. There is just no excuse when it comes to a doctor acting this way. It drives me crazy! I just don't like the fact that we are ones that have to educate them on something that they should know more about!Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803241505573440439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5236350969303953933.post-49800335833927702102009-03-19T11:01:00.000-04:002009-03-19T11:01:00.000-04:00I can't believe I missed this post earlier in the ...I can't believe I missed this post earlier in the week!<BR/><BR/>We did not have a prenatal diagnosis. I go round and round with how I feel about that. I think my obgyn would have heavily pressured terminating Kira. Maybe that's why I've been putting off going back.Wendy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110655950633558010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5236350969303953933.post-34406154777233321692009-03-18T12:19:00.000-04:002009-03-18T12:19:00.000-04:00oh wow. even though i've heard and read and experi...oh wow. even though i've heard and read and experienced that doctors are doctors but not at all necessarily versed in the realms of DS, i DO still expect more from them and am also disappointed in such lack of education and "bedside manner". i guess it is our job to fill in the gaps... your patience and understanding is admirable- good to remind me how little i knew before livia was born. but the pfofessionsals... one step at a time, right?tekealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06624164330376848455noreply@blogger.com
