Baby Sammy arrived last Tuesday & Josh has been busy taking good care of his sweet little brother! We are so excited to have Sam and we've had a really good first week with him! He is extremely pleasant & calm. He's been sleeping through the night, stirring a few times for milk & falling straight to sleep again. We couldn't be happier!
We have created this blog to tell Joshua's story. Josh was born in 2007 with a congenital heart defect, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS - only half of his heart developed) & has undergone 3 open heart surgeries, pacemaker placement as well as surgery to repair his paralyzed diaphragm. He had a very rough beginning, and has hit some bumps along the way but amazes us every day with his ability to live a very active life. Follow us as we try to keep up with him!

Friends with heart

Yeah! We're so happy for you!
Welcome Sam!! Josh is going to be the best big brother and friend you'll ever know!
Congratulations - he's beautiful! & what a sweet picture of Josh & Sam together. Sleeping through the night? - that's very impressive. Hope you're doing well.
Josh is going to love being a big brother! Knowing Josh, he'll be exceptional!
Cute one of the boys...buddies already :) Josh, you sure are a sweet big brother!!!
That is one precious picture. Oddly enough, it is one where Josh actually looks "baby-ish" again to me. I can only imagine what a great big brother he will be. Clearly, Sam is in good hands :)
Congratulations!! He is gorgeous!
Congratulations!!! He's a sweetie. So happy he's healthy and all is going well :) Enjoy all of that newborn cuddling!
When I saw you were coming to the HOH event, I thought, she must not have had Sam yet cause she is on the computer BUT you are on the computer with a newborn and 3 energetic sweet children. I swear you get the BESTEST MOM award!
Congrats!
Congrats, Sam is beautiful!!! So happy for you.
