So a side story, this last shot is of the 2 surgeons who did the c-section for Callie. When I asked to take this photo, I was taken back because the gal on the right looked REALLY familiar. Come to find out, it was a past bride of mine from 2006!!! We did not recognize each other with all those scrubs on. So crazy! Thank you Courtney for being an amazing surgeon!
Weston is our living miracle. He has TOF and from what the doctors told us, we were expecting him not to be breathing when he was born. He came out SCREAMING, so he was definitely breathing. They also told us he would have to have surgeries immediately since he has no pulmonary valve. Well, on Friday the 12th, he came home, minus any surgeries, breathing on his own and a completely "NORMAL" baby other than the fact that in a couple of months he'll have to have the surgeries they said. They also told us to expect him to be in the hospital for AT LEAST a month. He was there a week and some change.
A big thank you to all our family and friends for their support during this time. It truly has been one crazy roller coaster and somehow we ended up on top.
Thanks for reading.
...And because some of you emailed me and asked:

phew! what a relief. and thank for sharing something so personal with the rest of us. i know how it feels to have a child soon whisked away after a c-section. i hope that callie is well and i am sure she had angels round about to help bear her up too, along with weston and the rest of you. what a miracle life is.

Congratulations! The images are so beautiful and personal. I'm so happy things worked out better than expected and you were able to bring him home sooner than expected.
What a little spitfire (as my grandfather would say). I want to squeeze and hold that little angel.
Congratulations - and I hope mom is doing well. The photo journal is amazing, and I may have to do it on my next adventure.

Five kids, I can't believe it! Congratulations! I hope all is going well for your little Weston. Both of our kids were premature, so I guess we know a tiny bit of what you were going through. Wishing you and your family all the best!
