Three Words: Fetal Nuchal Translucency

Below is an article I wrote mostly for myself in January 2006. At the time, I was 3 months pregnant with our son, Blake, who was, in fact, born with Down Syndrome. There he is to the right of your screen, on skis! Such a sweet boy. Anyway... I've certainly had my share of emotional ups and downs through this entire journey. The struggles are not nearly as bad as I thought they would be, but at times, I find myself wishing that he was typical for his sake. YET, as you can see, he surprises us all sometimes and actually fared better at skiing than his sister who's just 22 months younger. At any rate, I'm posting the article below because Noah's Dad posted 25 gorgeous pictures (each worth 1,000 words) of his son Noah, who has Down Syndrome HERE , and he asked those of us who follow his Facebook posts to share our thoughts about this article titled, "25,000 Reasons Not to Worry About The Results of a Down Syndrome Screening Test."

Somewhat. Forced by the early birds that be to take my children to school at the crack of dawn, I have come to actually enjoy all of the gorgeous cloud formations that fill the morning skies here in the Southeastern United States.

Though there are many Divine attributes of God to worship and adore, it's His infinite creativity that never ceases to take me by surprise over and over again. Even on morning drives.

You Might Be A Faceneck If...

One of my favorite comedians of all time is Jeff Foxworthy . This is probably due, in part, to the fact that a majority of my mother's family members served as case-studies for his book of one-liner jokes preceded by the famous catch-phrase, "You might be a redneck, if..." Well, it just dawned on me that I, too, could come up with a fancy schmancy catch-phrase like his or perhaps something just as famous such as, "three-peat" or "in a pickle" or "What's up, Doc?" if I tried really hard. So, after some strenuous thinking and concentrating and perspiring and squinting, I settled on the term "faceneck." Ok, so it's not as original as perhaps some may have anticipated, but if you like redneck jokes, you might just love faceneck jokes all the more. So, update your status to: "is reading Ruth's blog" and sit a spell. How to Identify a Faceneck... If you get home from work and walk/run past your
