Hannah’s Herd Team Page

Team Incentive Level

Incentive level: Fast Pass for Two

Welcome to the Hannah’s Herd Page!

Hannah was born January 27, 2025 and has been such a wonderful EXTRA member of our family! She was in the NICU for 13 days before we were able to welcome her home. She is now thriving and is the happiest, most lovable little human ever! Big brother, Owen, cannot get enough of her and she feels the same way about him.

Hannah has met every milestone to date and is constantly learning and growing so quickly!

We are so fortunate to have linked up with DSI and the supportive communities it collaborates with. We first reached out at 20 weeks in gestation and have been so thankful for the care packages and New Parent events and the resources that DSI educated us about. Being able to participate in the Step Up Walk is our way of honoring Hannah and the entire Down syndrome community!
