Thomas had a ball game tonight. While I was there, I saw the cutest little baby. He was just looking around and taking it all in. I walked over to talk to the baby (I love babies!) and what a surprise - he has DS! I wanted to ask his mommy if she knew any other mommies with children with DS but I didn't. I was afraid that it may bother her so I opted not to approach her. I wanted to tell her all about my Mattie, and all the other kiddos I keep up with via blog. Anyway, I thought it was ironic that it is Down Syndrome awareness month and then I run into a new face with DS.
Anyway, Thomas did get a base hit so I was pretty happy and we won the game!
Did you know....
Down syndrome is the most commonly occurring chromosomal condition. One in every 733 babies is born with Down syndrome.
