Our Little Family: Marco's first wedding and more pictures

Here are some pictures of the wedding some from us and some from others and some pictures of our trip to the aquarium.

Our Family

Mauricio and I met in the Spring of 2002 through mutual friends. We went out on a blind date and the rest is history. We were married in May 2005, bought a house that summer, and in the summer of 2006 learned we were adding a little one to our lives. On November 3rd we learned we were having a little boy and we also learned that he would be born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. Our next 4 months of pregnancy were filled with uncertainty, fear, love, and faith in our little boy, ourselves, and God. It was also filled with many specialists and exams. Through ultrasounds, MRIs, and scans it was determined that Marco had 40% lung volume and his bowels, spleen, and stomach were in his chest cavity pushing his heart to the right and comprimising the growth of his left lung. Although Marco's condition was considered moderate, he was given a 50% chance of survival. Marco Luis was born at 35 1/2 weeks at 1:38pm. He weighed in at 5lbs. 2oz and 18.7inches!! He had his first surgery at 3 days of age to repair the hernia and another surgery at the end of April to remove an abdominal patch. He stayed at Children's Hospital for 65days and up until this day continues to amaze us with his strength!!! He is a true fighter and a true meaning that miracles are possible as he fought against CDH and prematurity!! We are so proud of our little one! He has made our family complete and a true blessing!
