“I want to share with you someone who was a very important part of my life. He was my uncle Kelly (Kelly Owen Burk). Kelly was born with Down syndrome.

Courtesy of Jordan Burk A Life With Down Syndrome A little background, Kelly was born in 1952. My grandparents received a lot of criticism from family and peers saying things like, ‘He should be institutionalized!’ Something which was very common in…

“My husband, Alex, and I got married at age 23 and moved across the country from our families so he could start pilot training in the Air Force. We were 25 when we found out we were pregnant, right after he finished training, and as we were settling in at our first permanent duty station in Georgia. Starting A Family I expected it to take months for us to conceive, but we were fortunate enough for it to happen very quickly. My pregnancy was easy and uncomplicated.

“‘They think he has Down syndrome.’ The words washed over me. I was trying desperately to bring my medicated brain into reality. This couldn’t be real, right? This couldn’t happen to us, right? Just hours earlier, Caleb, our bonus baby, had arrived via c-section. Pregnant after 17 years, we were thrilled to begin another round of parenting, as his big sister headed off to college. The idea was a bit daunting at first, but we soon warmed up to ‘Parenting 2.0’ and waited impatiently for our baby boy to arrive. Courtesy of Karen Prewitt Courtesy of Karen Prewitt Since I…

“My memories of the hours after my son Henry was born are foggy. There were a lot of complications following his birth and I lost a substantial amount of blood. I remember seeing a lot of concerned nurses and residents rushing in and out of the delivery room. I remember my husband, mother, and sister staying by my side and assuring me everything was fine. Most of all, I remember wishing I could have just a minute or two of privacy so I could look up the symptoms of Down syndrome. My pregnancy with Henry had been a wonderfully, uneventful…

“I always thought I would get married, have kids, and have a lovely, but ordinary life. But, by the time I turned 30, nothing had really worked out as I had planned, so I decided to embrace my independence, and moved across the country on a whim. This is when, because I wasn’t looking, I met my husband, and all my dreams started to fall into place like magic. We built our dream house in the country, got married in our backyard, and nine months later, our daughter Chloë was born. A couple of years later, we decided to have…

“I can still remember the scene clearly, as if it was yesterday. We had just gotten done with our ultrasound and the doctor had come in to talk to us about the results. We found out a couple of weeks earlier, via my blood test, Arabella had a 98% probability of having Down syndrome. The ultrasound was a nuchal translucency (NT) test and was being completed to help confirm the diagnosis of Down syndrome. The doctor’s words hit me like a ton of bricks: Baby Arabella’s NT test was consistent with a Down syndrome diagnosis. But I was relatively prepared…

“I remember the first pang of worry I got when I was pregnant with JJ. It was around 11 weeks and I had spent the entire morning staring at my inbox. I was waiting for the email with our early screening results that would tell me if I was having a boy or girl. When it finally came, it said, ‘Hello Kayla, we request that you schedule a phone consultation with one of our medical professionals in order to view your prenatal screen results.’ I thought, ‘Oh no.’ My mind started racing, ‘Why does a doctor need to consult with…

“I never planned to be a mom of a child, much less two children, with special needs. But few actually do. We take the circumstances we are given and do our best with them. With my son and oldest child, Alex, I knew something was different with him when he was about two and a half. We were sitting in the bathroom, working on potty training. I was sitting on the tub next to him as we waited. And I just got this feeling he would be different from the typical kid. I wasn’t sure what to do with that…

Do you remember the part in the original Jurassic Park movie where Jeff Goldblum’s character, Dr. Ian Malcolm, said, “You did it you crazy son of a b****, you did it”? Well, this week has been much of that statement on repeat as I drive the new 2023 Cadillac Escalade V that touts 682 horsepower from a supercharged V8 engine where I’m in continual disbelief that Cadillac created such a thing, and I wholeheartedly love it! The new 5th-generation Cadillac Escalade was already one of my favorite body-on-frame SUVs when I first had an opportunity to review it nearly two…

Bueno, está bien, tal vez no, pero son transparentes. ¿Quieres saber por qué muchos de los animales que se muestran a continuación son criaturas que habitan en el mar?
