The Art of Heartbeats

So as some of you know, (which usually are only people I trust), I had open heart surgery at a very very young age.
 In doctor terms this is what I had: VSD Repair. Also a peristent left superior vena cava was encountered which drained into my left coronary sinus, which then drained into my left atrium.
In people terms this is what I had: Hole in one of my chambers.

I am beyond grateful that the doctors and my Mom were able to make the decision to go ahead with the operation, seeing that I was only almost 2, I couldn't really make decisions for myself! But what if I could, would have I? In all honesty, I haven't a clue, so I am glad I wasn't able to remember a thing. I heard it was pretty crazy though. Seeing your child go through something like that, I am not sure I would have the strength or guts. But my Mom, Grandparents and Auntie did a fabulous job, as from all the stories I hear. Pretty sure that's why my Grandma smoked for so many years. Sorry Nanny ;-) . Anyhow, why I am even writing all this, is because it's about that time for Christian and I to discuss becoming parents.( Not that its happening) So i need to know if:
A) My heart will support all the changes B) If I can support all the changes, will I have to delivery C-section or Vaginally, since Vaginally puts more strain on the heart. C) if my scar will support the weight of the baby. CRAZY to think all these weird things. But I wanna know these answers before even trying AT ALL!

Will let ya know what the Doc SAYS! :-)

New Beginnings

I am exactly a month behind on posting.. I have been trying to write stuff to remind me to write this, but something always comes up! Unfortunately I have no real excuse!!! We have had lots of new and exciting things happen in our lives! From exploring Chicago, to a new CAR!!!!

We went to a LOVELY wedding in Chicago on Feb 23rd, we drove there, with 4 other people (boys).. I will let you figure out the rest. LOL. Actually in all honesty the car ride was a blast, and the wedding was beyond gorgeous! One of my very very best pilot wife friends got married, and I had the honour of standing up in her wedding! So awesome!! All her bridesmaids and maid of honour were so much fun! we all got a long like family! SO blessed to have made friends here at Vance! Thank you for my sanity!

Lovely bride and i ! Pilot wives!!

Christian moved to Altus Thurday Feb. 28th and is there until June 6th. Lucky for me it is only 3 hours away so we will be able to commute back and forth on weekends to spend time together! Our cats are great, crazy and loving life! Starbucks is the usual, busy and intense, however, I love the people that work there more and more. I am really going to miss my first "starbucks" family! And before he left for Altus he blessed me with a new car! It actually saves his butt, that way I am not screaming at him when stupid lights are going off in the Lumina, or when the car overheats!!! Ya, thats happened twice, on my expense! Needless to say, it was time to say goodbye to the beloved Chevy Lumina, family car since Christians Grandparents! 3 generations this car has been in! What a trooper! Hope our new car gives us that much joy and love!!!
