I've been consumed with a presentation I'm doing with my friend, Sarah, this weekend on Breastfeeding and Down Syndrome. We are in our final stages of preparation and I'd like to add some pictures to a Power Point presentation that she did. So, if you have any pictures of your child with DS breastfeeding that I could use, I would be soooo grateful. I can't guarantee that I'll have them added in time, but we are hoping to present this session again in other locations. Life with 3 kids has a way of going off track at the most inopportune times.
Thus far, I have a gift basket for children of all abilities put together for the silent auction and will be assembling folders of information, local and national resources to hand out to attendees. A BIG THANKS to Rebecca at The Bates Motel for hooking me up with some awesome 2009 DSANV calendars. I'm hoping this is a great way to reach people who are working with new moms and babies. I see a chance to advocate for them in their earliest days!
If I have time, I'll add a picture of the basket and folders tonight. I keep finding more articles to add and have ANOTHER trip to Staples planned for copies.

Oh! Me, me! I have pics of Finn nursing :) I'd love to send them to you. Where should I send them? Email me, there's a link in my blog.
I have lots of pics, too. Let me know where to send them...

How did it go? Hope you've recovered!
Hi, I have a pic or too if you still want them for next time. Where should I email them?
It was my pleasure to help out! Heck, that, and wanting everyone to see my little princess on the cover...LOLOL.
I hope the images in the calendar serve to remind people that people with Ds are PEOPLE! Beautiful, vibrant, sensitive, thoughtful, active PEOPLE! (I would've put more adjectives in there, but figured I should draw the line somewhere!)
I'm so glad you were able to do this.
