Looks like a bunch of people have started connecting you with the DS blogosphere already. :) A friend of mine pointed me to your post because I also have a daughter who has Down syndrome. We're a few years "ahead" of you on the road, and Julianna is now just a few weeks shy of 6, and holding her own just fine with one older brother and two younger ones. :) If you ever have questions, fire away. kathleenbasi (at) gmail (dot) com.Kathleen Basihttp://www.kathleenbasi.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153878925570190221.post-32529705239731724342012-12-29T13:48:11.284-08:002012-12-29T13:48:11.284-08:00Your daughter is beautiful!

I think you have a beautiful attitude about it. Your center in God and knowing that this precious little girl is a gift. <br /><br />She is so beautiful and you are so blessed. <br /><br />Congrats Sarah!<br /><br />(BTW_- I have the vook that Jamie Jo mentioned and would be more than happy to send it to you if you want as well. I have never read her blog. Truthfully, I was NOT impressed with the book. I will leave it at that. If you need any contacts, I know an AMAZING Catholic couple that has a son and a daughter with Downs Syndrome (they adopted the girl). They homeschool and have done TONS of research,etc. So, if you ever need that information, I canpass it to you.

Lol! You wrote about the pain of transition so well that my laborious memories came flooding back! I always tell first -time med free labor moms that just when you think it can 't get any worse... it's time to push. :) I always have to push sooner than they like. But as you know... there is no stopping when it's time! Great job, mama!!!<br /><br />Your little girl is beautiful! I am so happy for you and for her...she has been richly blessed with such faithful and loving parents. Your life together will be filled with immeasurable joy.
