Will and I thought it would be helpful to keep our family and friends updated on Baby T's arrival with a blog. Especially since in the coming weeks, it will be difficult for Will and I to keep everyone in the loop. We appreciate all of the support and prayers we have received from our circle of family and friends over the past couple of months. Stay tuned for updates, and of course, pictures when Baby T arrives!
A little background:
We are anxiously anticipating the arrival of our first child - due March 22, 2008. This past fall, we learned that our baby had spina bifida, and then a couple of weeks ago we learned that he has the syndrome VATER. VATER is an acronym for a group of birth defects - each letter stands for a different birth defect. At this point, testing has confirmed that our baby has 3 out of the possible 5 - spina bifida, his esophogus isn't attached to his stomach, and he only has one kidney. Baby T faces many challenges when he is born, but we know that our child is a fighter due to the constant kicks to my sore ribs!
