My husband and I were married on May 23rd 2009, We found out (September 3rd 2009), that we were pregnant and we are so excited to finally have our little guy. His name is Judah Alexander Malachi McAllister. He was 8 lbs 3 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. His birth was very easy (thank goodness for epidurals) and I only pushed for 30 minutes! His Due Date was 5-9-10 although he came early on 4-29-10 at 11:13 pm.
Judah is the joy of my life, my best little friend. We stay home and get to know each other every day. He had surgery at 4 months old for laryngomalacia and had a frenulectomy at 7 months old. He was on an NG tube for the 3 months inbetween surgeries due to aspiration. Judah is a fiesty 2 and a half year old who is hilarious.
Baby number two.. His name is Gabriel Abraham McAllister (Gaberham, we call him). Gabriel was diagnosed at 21 weeks with a Congenital Heart defect. It was a mixture of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and an AV Canal Defect- which is one of the more complex heart issues. He also had Trisomy 21, or Down Syndrome.
We live in Boise, ID but traveled to Seattle and then to Boston for Gabe's 4 heart surgeries. He was born on August 28th, 2011 and passed away on August 23rd, 2012.
We are currently expecting our third baby, due July 2013.
