So we have been going over names for the lil girl growin in the belly. Two we really like are Aubrey and Whitney. But we are not at all decided and still talk about a bunch of names. We thought we were decided about Emmett's name but changed it a month before he was born. So ya never know.
I haven't written in a long time because I feel like I haven't had anything worth writing about. Actually, there has been so much going on I could write about it but it is probably just boring stuff to everyone else. It is mostly about Emmett and his therapy and about how we have started him on vitamins and supplements, and trying a more natural and holistic approach with him. We are already seeing results and we are going to start Savannah on a plan that caters to her too. :)
I have also been having tons of doctors appointments and blood work done for this pregnancy. At the begining of this pregnancy, I felt like I wanted to know everything. I got the blood work done for chromosomal abnormalities and while my chances for having another baby with Down Syndrome came back, dare I say, "normal" or odds of "1 in 2400"; I have chosen not to have the amnio. If I have another child with Down Syndrome....there were never odds....the odds were always 100%, from the second we concieved. There is nothing I would change and so at this point, I am just happy that I am bringing another one of God's children into the earth and so grateful that we are completing our family.

Those are both cute names and sound good with your last name!! Ours might just not be named for a month after they are born, lol. What kind of supplements or "plan" are you doing? That sounds interesting!!
hey em. first, i found this amazing blog regarding down syndrome and all the questions becuz the whole DS community is split on whether or not to give vitamins and such to kids with DS. i have found other sites before, but this one really breaks it down...http://dsdaytoday.blogspot.com/p/medical.html
we have started emmett on b-12, gingko and a kids DHA (omega-3) formula. we got it all at the vitamin shoppe and fortunately when we went, we ran into "Dr. Vitamin Guru" (lol), who has worked with kids with Down Syndrome and is totally advocate for all kids starting vitamins. So he said we should also start Savannah on the DHA. Considering Emmett is doing so well, we are going to go back to the store and ask our "Dr. Guru" about Savannah. I really want to start Emmett on Nutrivene, but it is soooo dang expensive. So I am waiting for him to get his bloodwork done, so I can see what I feel is most important for him.
Also, this winter, anytime it looked like the kids were coming down with something, I would give them elderberry around the clock. I have also been taking it and none of us have gotten sick since I got it.
here is another link if you want to check out exactly what i got:
