Found you through another (blogging) friend...and I just have to say...that although I do not know you, I am so excited about the birth of your baby boy!! You are a lucky girl-no quips about "angels" and "God finding just the right family for these special children." All that is true in its own way, but I'm telling you that you are in for the most incredible journey of your life! Abundance of joy that you didn't even know existed is about ready to descend on your house! Be BlessedJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587714578258448217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-74079456615821284212009-04-23T01:16:00.000-04:002009-04-23T01:16:00.000-04:00Luke was a wriggler- the midwife had to corner him...Luke was a wriggler- the midwife had to corner him in my tummy to get a heartbeat. But it's a good sign. I have read that kids with DS are either motor-driven or observers, and if they are motor-driven he will be motivated to move, so it may be easier to get him on the go. Luke has been commando crawling since 10 months, and is learning to crawl properly. <br /><br />Sounds like Bennett is doing well.Melhttp://lifewithlukeskywalker.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-92016650444303576162009-04-22T17:43:00.000-04:002009-04-22T17:43:00.000-04:00Actually you probably do more about DS than the do...Actually you probably do more about DS than the doctors. My OB flat out admitted that he had limited knowledge about disabilities like DS as that would be in the realm of the pediatrician, not an OB-GYN. <br /><br />Also, Caden kicked A LOT!

(I know, easier said than done.)<br /><br />I didn't know about Benjamin until after he was born, and he moved in the womb just as much as my first son, which wasn't abnormal either way, just normal I guess. LOL<br /><br />Obviously we don't know how Bennett will do once he's born, but I just wanted to tell you that Benjamin was born with three heart defects and never spent one minute in the NICU! :)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11387011004798871747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-77292141110166914942009-04-21T18:40:00.000-04:002009-04-21T18:40:00.000-04:00I had to have a stress test at 35 weeks and that i...I had to have a stress test at 35 weeks and that is when they sent me for an ultrasound, but that was because Sam was measuring so small, 4 weeks behind in growth. They didn't know he had DS so they hadn't taken any precautions during my pregnancy. I am glad you are having them do the tests and keeping a close eye on your and your little boy. Sam moved around a ton although everytime we had an ultrasound his arms were straight out to his sides, guess that was the low muscle tone? He is a very strong baby now though at 8 months, his PT is amazed at how strong he is and how good his tone it so maybe it did have something to do with how much he moved in his stomach. You also will realize throughout his life you will probably know more about DS then any Doctor!! :-)Taushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13711847444052463207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-51152131364066669302009-04-21T16:53:00.000-04:002009-04-21T16:53:00.000-04:00Adrienne,

The first time I went I had not eaten then I found out that they were waiting to see how much the baby moved...then on out I made sure I was eating and drinking when I went in so that Mr william would move around and I could get out of there asap! lol. And as far as the NICU...I'm sure a lot of people have told you horror stories (don't know why people feel so inclined to do so at such a scary time in life) but anyway, we were told not to plan on going home 2-4 weeks after William was born and he never went into the NICU unit so every baby is different and dont let that bother you. Have fun at Dora :)my familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00965034997906612228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-9317997005751565522009-04-21T16:08:00.000-04:002009-04-21T16:08:00.000-04:00I'm so excited!!!
