In May of 2012 Kenny and I welcomed our baby girl, Lucy Grace. Lucy was diagnosed with Spina Bifida when I was 20 weeks pregnant. Like many other families our experience was difficult and painful to talk about in the beginning. I have attempted to document our journey with SB so our family and friends can stay informed. Although we had some serious medical challenges in the first few months, Spina Bifida does not define our daughter or our family. Kenny and I are so lucky to have two kids we adore. This is our life with a 7 yr old and an infant....with an SB twist!

7 weeks to go!




Wow, the last month has flown by! I am now 31 weeks pregnant so we only have 7 more weeks to go before we meet our little Lucy-Lou!! After a few months of chaos surrounding her diagnosis, it has been nice to have some time to just be a normal pregnant woman again. At this point though I sort of feel the chaos coming back as we approach the final weeks. Overall I am still feeling very good, just tired and feeling bigger by the second!

I am feeling nervous about my surgery and of course even more so for Lucy. We have a good team of doctors in place ready for her arrival though so at this point we are just ready to meet her and hold her and deal with whatever may come.
