How to Start?

I am new to this. The online world. The world of "special needs" still feels new to me too, even after a year. I don't know how to start, do I just jump right in? Do I provide background? Am I supposed to think things through and say something meaningful or just... blap it all out? Please bear with me readers (If I have any) I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

Why am I doing this? Not really sure. I think maybe I need a voice. A place to let things out so that my head won't be so full of thoughts, worries, fears, etc. A place to celebrate too, and share those momentous occasions with the family and friends I hope will read this.

If someone had asked me a little over a year ago if I would ever consider doing a blog I would have looked at them like they were nuts! I share myself freely with those I know well, but I tend to be shy around strangers. Drew has changed me so much though, in so many wonderful ways. I guess that's the real reason I'm doing this. I want to share Drew, and our story, with others. Maybe someone out there whose world has been turned upside because a baby they love has been diagnosed with Down syndrome will read this and not be so scared. Having your world turn upside down is a little scary, but I think things look more interesting when you're upside down. Try it :)
