On February 2nd at 4:59 AM, our third beautiful son Joaquin Andres Sanchez was born. On May 2nd at 4:59 PM, his three month birthday, we learned that Joaquin's cells have the presence of an additional third chromosome 21 or "Trisomy 21" also known as Down syndrome. Join us on our journey as we discover that three is definitely a charm.

A Perfect Heart
We saw the cardiologist last Friday for our first of many specialist appointments to monitor Joaquin's health. Children with DS have a 50% chance of having heart issues sometimes leading to surgery. We were thrilled to find out that Joaquin has a perfect, normal heart. The doctor said there is no need to see her again. Check that one off the list! We're hoping it's the first of many healthy reports to come.
