It's starting
We just took Nathaniel into surgery. Five days ago at this time, we were worried about when to ask for an epidural and what color hair he'd have (if any). All we wanted, and all any parent wants, is a healthy child. Finding out he wasn't OK ... and with something as serious as a heart defect ... was absolutely stunning.
We know the surgery is very much in his favor, but it still has us scared like nothing has ever scared us before.
Before the surgery, both Amanda and I got to really hold him -- outside his little hospital bed, in our laps, in our arms. It was absolutely amazing.
I can't wait to be able to do that every day, every minute.

Reading the blog I never would have thought it would go this way but there is a reason. You were "chosen" to write the blog to show us all about being an expecting parent and then a new Dad experience. So what are the chances then that it doesn't go smoothly with no complications? There is a reason we were all meant to share your experience. Your little miracle will pull through because his start in the world was "chosen" to be public to teach us all about miracles, hope, strengh and the power of prayer. Your son is an inspiration for us all who have ourselves or have had someone close to us struggle medically. Although most of us don't know you personally, know that we are thinking of your family and your little baby boy is in our hearts. And what a true gift he will have ten years from now looking back at this chronicle of his journey into life from his mommy's tummy to being so brave at such a little size!! He is truly lucky!
