This blog is about our life. I also want to raise awareness about achondroplasia and share our experience. Our baby girl Anaïs was born with achondroplasia.

Love
Last night, we went out to dinner with some friends and also saw the show Love at the Mirage. Jeff and I both love the Beatles, so we really enjoyed the show. I would recommend it to anyone!!Here we are right before the show.
Here are a couple pictures from the restaurant. We ate at Stack at the Mirage and the food was awesome!!!
Ahhh I have been dying to see that show! My hubby and I went to Vegas for our honeymoon and we saw Mystere and Zumanity. I would LOVE to go back for our anniversary (5 years in Feb) and see LOVE! Glad to hear it was a great show!
You guys are the cutest couple! YOu always have such fun adventures. I will have to make another trip out to Vegas when Anais gets a bit older so her and Preston can play!
I am originally from France and have been living in the US since 1999. My husband Jeff is american and speaks fluent french so we are a bilingual family. We have 2 beautiful daughters Samantha born on 5/27/04 and Anaïs (pronounced Ana-eese) born on 6/6/08. Anaïs was born with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism.
If this is your first time reading our blog, read about how our journey with achondroplasia all started by reading Anaïs' story.
What is achondroplasia?
Achondroplasia is the most common form of short-limb dwarfism. It occurs in approximately 1 in 26,000 to 1 in 40,000 births. The characteristic features of achondroplasia are apparent at birth. These include typical facial features, disproportionate short stature, and rhizomelic (the proximal ends of the limbs) shortening. Diagnosis of achondroplasia is made by physical exam and skeletal x-rays. Most individuals have normal intelligence. Infants and children often have motor delays but cognitive delays are not present. A special infant developmental chart has been made for children with achondroplasia. Final adult height is in the range of 4 feet.
