Well things move quickly in the ranks of Children’s Hospital. We really do have the best doctors! We left our cardiologist appointment at 10am and by 2pm, I was on my way to CHLA since they squeezed us in for an ultrasound on the aneurysm. The ultrasound took some time with this little wiggle worm,…

We Can't Take Anymore Surprises!!
Stephen had his Cath Lab done last Friday, and the results were what they expected. Which was good news. I was waiting to update until I was clear on the details, so I’ll get more into that later. His recovery from surgery was amazing. He was groggy and grumpy in the hospital, but as soon…
7 Months Old
Baby: What a fun little guy we’ve got on our hands. He is now rolling over both ways. If I leave him alone for a few minutes, I often wonder how he got to where he ended up. Such a little mover. We have been practicing sitting up, but I don’t think it will happen…
Cardio Catheterization
My anxiety is building a little. Stevie has a small procedure tomorrow called a cardio catheterization, which is sort of like an angiogram or angioplasty (which I didn’t know what that was until the doc explained it). Basically the cardiologist will make a small incision in the groin area and run a tube up through…
Woo-hoo!
Hey everyone! I just sat up for a whole 3 seconds. AND I rolled from my belly to my back about 6 times. It was quite the exciting day around here! P.S. Mom’s computer is back up and running. Thanks, Dad!
Save Me Geek Squad!
Fourth of July was the dreaded day. I downloaded some pictures from my phone to back them up and CRASH! went my computer. Still don’t know why, but Windows took a dive and needs to be reinstalled. My husband is tech support around these parts, but he has been so busy with work (getting-home-at-2am-busy) that…
Mommy Faux Pas #6
Stevie has been sleeping in a Pack N Play at the foot of our bed. We needed to give each other some space. At about 2am, I usually pull him back into bed with us for a quick bottle and we all go back to sleep. This time, hubs and I fell back asleep, but…
6 Months Old
Baby: He has been a busy one. As you know, he got his helmet, got his glasses and now is cutting his first tooth! (Needless to say, he hasn’t been the happiest camper, but gosh darn if he just isn’t the most adorable little turd.) He is rolling over easily from his back to his…
Today
Today was a big day for the little guy. He got his helmet, he got his glasses and he turned 6 months old! Hard to believe. In some ways, I feel like there is no way he’s 6 months old – that went by so fast! But in other ways, I see him as much…
Daddy's Hands
When I think of my husband becoming a father, two images stand out in my mind. The first is the way he looked at Stephen when he was first born. He was so amazed by this little creature and sort of in disbelief that we created something so perfect. He took great pride in his…
