Heart Mom is a title worn with pride. Baby Boy #3 diagnosed in-utero at the 20 week ultrasound which gave us 16 weeks to research & prepare for his arrival (that’s right – he decided to arrive 4 weeks early). His official diagnosis is currently Shones Complex with aortic and mitral valve defects, coarctation repair. Two heart surgeries down, more to go as he grows. Hoping science advances faster than he grows to allow for less invasive procedures. Read all about our heart adventures below.
