In 2007 the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) changed it’s guidelines to recommend fetal chromosomal screening be offered to all pregnant women regardless of age because of new noninvasive, low-risk screening tests. (By the way, here’s 25,000 reasons why you shouldn’t worry about the results of a Down syndrome screening test.) When we received the news that our son, Noah, was born [Read More…]…

Since Noah’s our first (and as of today, only) child I have no idea how or when a typical child is supposed to reach their developmental milestones. My wife is a pediatrician and knows that stuff like the back of her hand, but not me. In fact, I’m not really interested in textbook baby milestone charts. In fact, I sort of enjoy Noah developing at Noah’s pace.

Not what some baby milestone chart says should be his pace. 🙂

I have to admit that prior to Noah being born I had no idea that March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day, so don’t feel bad if you didn’t know either. But it is. And if you will give me about 3 minutes of your time, I’ll tell you what it’s all about, and try to give a quick answer to the question, “What is Down syndrome?”

Noah and I put together a short video to tell you a little bit about World Down Syndrome Day and why the date 3:21 is significant. I hope you find it informative and enjoyable! And hey if not, no worries. You’ll get to see a cute little boy for a few minutes that I’m sure will brighten up your day. So it’s a win either way. 🙂

By the way, be sure to check out Noah’s Dad Youtube channel where you can watch all of our videos!)
