We received the news that our unborn son had Trisomy 13 on February 22, 2006 at our 20 week ultrasound.  Our son, who we named Noah Arthur (Noah because it means peaceful and content; Arthur after his Grandfather), blessed us with his presence for the next 12 weeks before passing away on May 17, 2006.  

Our journey during this time with our precious little angel Noah was documented in an online blog ( http://noaharthur.blogspot.com/ ) for our family, friends, and other families experiencing a diagnosis of Trisomy 13 to follow.  We hope that sharing our experience will be helpful to other families.
