We finally have a date after months of waiting and agonizing. Its great news, but its so soon, April 2nd, which is less than 2 weeks away!!! I was anticipating months down the road like they said, now I need to prepare myself. I haven't been able to concentrate at work all day, I just keep thinking about it and making arrangements. The sad thing is that its his 1st birthday on Monday and we planned on a big 1st Birthday bash for April 1st with all of our family and friends which ...
When a parent hears that their child is not perfect for the first time, they go straight to denial. This little angel that was just sent from God is absolutely perfect! But just 12 hours after a difficult delivery and a joyful meeting, the doctor was pointing out a ridge on my beautiful baby's head.

Well, we had our follow up appointment for Mikey today. It was all good news so far. His head circumference is now in the 98th percentile.

The scan is to try and find a cause for my headaches, as well as ...
Well we have been home for over a week now, and it has been great. The hospital stay was rough on our little guy. Waking him up and poking or proding him every few hours really made life miserable. We felt the aftershocks of this in his behavior at home. Anyway, surgery went well. Mikey lost more blood than they hoped, but overall it was a success. His head circumference went from the 6th percentile, to the 45th after the neurosurgeon, and the 76th after the plastic surgeon completed the operation. ...
