hello again

I completely forgot about this thing. This last few months have been really crazy. When I started this journal I wasn't even pregnant yet. So since then I got pregnant, found out I was due Christmas eve, went home to Texas for a visit 2 times, found out I was having a boy, had my first year anniversary, found out my son had gastroschisis, moved to a nicer apartment, and finally had my baby boy on December 8th, 2009 by c-section. It was a very hectic but fun, exciting, and blessed year. We named our son Joseph Antonio Gonzales. He was 5 lbs 10 oz and 17.5 inches long. A week after he was born he had his surgery to close up his little tummy. Since then recovery has gone so quickly and very well. He had a small bump in the road where his bowels were beginning to look a little dilated again but he is ok now and eating great. He will hopefully be coming home really soon. And we are as ready as we can be at this point. We have everything ready for him here at home. I can't wait until I walk into that NICU and they tell me he is coming home the next day. :D That will be a very exciting moment.
Be back soon.
