As I was writing this blog in my head last night (while up multiple times with Ara...) it sounded more eloquent than the words are coming out after a disjointed night of sleep.
I wanted to briefly share our story, but there is nothing short about it. Our first babe was born with a heart that would never function the way mine does. He was a planned pregnancy from 2 healthy and unsuspecting individuals. When we first found out I was shocked that he wasn't healthy and so naive about the statistics. About 1/100 children born have a heart defect. I know 5 in my personal life and countless that I have met in our adventure with Owen, so the stats may be true in your life as well.
Cheers to Owen, who has endured much more than he should, to thrive as a toddler. May his future procedures & surgeries only make him stronger and allow him to continue to enjoy life. He is truly a blessing and we love him with all our heart!

He is such a beautiful combination of both you and Chris. Agreed.. cheers to you Owen, may you continue to thrive and know just how many people love you and pray for you.
He's amazing, as are his mama and daddy. xoxo
I am thinking of you this morning. With loving prayers and wishes to all of you - and especially dear Owen - on this Valentine's Day, Heidi
