Thanks! I have a couple of questions. How didyou make sure the staff at
the hospital had a positive attitude about you having a baby? I guess
sadly getting a baby taken away is a concern of lots of disabled parents.

HI all, I have been on this list for a few days now and figure it is time
to introduce myself. I am Tara Briggs and I live in Utah with my husband.
I teach Braille at the center for the blind. I use a Seeing Eye dog named
Emmy and I think they don't make them any better than my beautiful black
lab. My husband works at Brigham Young University in there accessibility
center. He helps students get access to their books in an accessible
format and oversees their assistive technology lab. Tyler is also
finishing a master's degree in  Vocational rehabilitation. He graduates
this May and we are both over the moon about it!

I am 12 weeks pregnant with our first baby! I am sure I will have loads of
questions but I just thought I would by start off by saying hello.

Thanks

Tara
