“Mike and Brittany Ericksen”

http://mikeandbrittanyericksen.blogspot.com

I blog for a few reasons. I blog for my kids to be able to look at one day, and I blog as a form of therapy as we go through the grieving process of finding out our youngest daughter was born with a chromosomal disorder in July of 2010.

I started blogging in 2008 after my second child was born.

I blog about the funny things my kids do, the sad feeling that I may be having, or things I just need to vent about.

I first heard about blogging through other friends and family members that had started their own blogs.

Blogging has been a great way for me to connect with other people that have kids with special needs and when I first found out about Cri Du Chat, it was so rare, that I didn’t know where to turn to find other families. Thankfully there are a few other moms who blog about their CDC kids and I am able to feel like I am part of a support group!
