About This Blog

My photo
ds.mama
I had a baby with Down syndrome. After reading a couple new parent books, which were depressing, I wondered, "Why don't they just tell me what I need to know? Like, what are the best toys for a newborn with Down syndrome? or What changes should I make to my will to protect my daughter's future?" Answering those questions, and many more, inspired this blog. I hope it helps you as you go about raising your beautiful baby.
