Liz's Shower

On Friday night, we had a shower at work for Liz. Her and her husband had been trying for years and years to get pregnant and last November they discovered they were pregnant with twins! I was ecstatic for her as well as many others! This spring the doctor discovered that one of the twins has a rare heart defect called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The babies are both boys, named Brayden Michael and Parker Ryan. Brayden has the heart defect. Right now they are hoping for a heart for Brayden. If they receive one and Liz is 32 weeks or more along they will do an emergency c-section and perform the heart transplant.

Although obviously scared, Liz and her husband Steve are very hopeful. We had a great time at their shower. Here is the happy couple!




Every time Denise (Matt's clinical supervisor) holds Nathan, he totally relaxes like this! It is so funny!


The brave men to attend the festivities :)




This is Rory and her son Hayden. She is one of our Physical Therapists who was pregnant only a month behind me! We used to take belly to belly shots to document our progress :)


And Nathan going crazy on Liz's knee. He loves to bounce when you sit him on your knee. You don't have to do ANY work! He does it all for you :) Liz was afraid she was going to drop him!

Please pray for Liz and her precious baby boys who will probably make their arrival this July.

Excited for our Mother's Day weekend with daddy off and weather forecasts promising sunshine!
