		<description><![CDATA[As Edry turned seven days old, we went to the pediatrician for our scheduled follow-up and to have his blood drawn for karyotype testing, in order to confirm his Trisomy 21 diagnosis. I did my best to report everything I could remember about Edry&#8217;s goings-on, including the seizures that Edry experienced, and how he wasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

So far it has been the most dramatic event of my life, and I haven&#8217;t even recorded the hours prior to his birth. That would be for another day. 0 to 7 days I was still trying to handle [...]]]></description>

I just want people to stop telling me that Edry doesn&#8217;t look like he has Down syndrome, or that he is special, or that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been watching a Web docu-series called The Specials, about the lives of five people living together. They are so inspirational, and full of character! Sam&#8217;s the cheeky guy, Lewis is pointedly funny, Lucy&#8217;s the responsible one, Hilly is the romantic drama queen, and Megan is the quiet overachiever. Lewis has Williams syndrome, while Lucy, [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a rare occurence for me to blog about things that exposes my emotional well-being. I hate doing that. What I feel is none of anyone&#8217;s business but myself. This [...]]]></description>

It was fairly easy to find the place (well, easy since I already found the place via Google Map), and [...]]]></description>

Everything about this fourth pregnancy seem to be more intense than my previous ones. I suppose this is why my OBGYN is recommending the weekly check-ups now. No matter.
