My First Post

I've been reading a few blogs for a while now, so I thought...."why don't I start one?" So here we are. I guess I can start by giving a little information about myself and "my new little family." I have been married to my wonderful husband, Sean, for 3 years....since May 15, 2004. We have been together since November 2000. We just had our first child, Matthew Edward, in January. What was a normal pregnancy for 36 weeks turned into quite an adventure. At that time they found out that Matthew had an Interupted Aortic Arch and a Ventricular Septal Defect. When he was six-days old, he underwent open-heart surgery to repair these problems. He came through the surgery with flying colors, and he has been doing wonderful ever since. Every day I wake up in the morning and realize how blessed I am to have him. He is developing quite a personality....he's my little man!!! He has added so much to my life in his short time in this world!!! I can't wait to see what is to come!!!
