Day 1 Fact 1

As many of you know October is Down Syndrome Awerness month. I am going to attempt to blog everyday a fact/info about Down Syndrome. 



I realize it is common but you would be shocked at the mothers,like myself, that are/were clueless. Had it not been for blogs and so many inspiring books I am not sure I would have embraced the diagnosis like I did. 

So here goes Fact 1:
1 in every 699 children are born with Down Syndrome. 

Sounds crazy? I know it did to me too. I felt if it was so common why was my little girl the only one in the community. Little did I know there is 3 more (that I know of)! I was instantly relieved to know she wouldn't be alone! And some of those mothers have became my closest friends. I have now been opened up to a new world and I wouldn't change it. 

I hope you tune in for more facts (ones you probably already know! But maybe you'll learn something!) .
