Down Syndrome Birth Story

in Birth Stories
Hello to everyone! My name is Kelsey and I just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy last month (July 25). He was diagnosed with Down Syndrome at birth. I have created a blog to raise awareness, and to hopefully help other mothers out there that may be going through the same things as I did. I am very honest with my emotions in my blog, especially for my most recent post : Anthony's Birth Story. Please read my story, and pass it along to help raise awareness that a diagnosis of Down Syndrome is not the end of the world. Instead, it is the beginning of a bigger and better world than you could have ever imagined!
