Our little miracle is here!

Hi! Haven’t posted here in a while but assuming everyone else is on the same page of knowing that no news is good news. Yes, there are still many lingering issues with my health that I will discuss in another post-nothing super serious, just lingering GVHD issues and problems that come with being on immunosuppresents for over 2 years. BUT that’s it for the cancer talk here.

Let’s talk about our adorable Robert Ray! He arrived on July 27th weighing 9 lbs 4 oz, 20-3/4″ long. We met our surrogate, Dawn, through one of my mom’s dear friends. We are in my hometown for a few weeks, hanging out at Grandma’s. I could go on and on about how wonderful Dawn and has been and all she’s done for us, but I could never really fully express our gratitude in any online forum.

I don’t use the word “amazing” lightly, but it’s pretty amazing that this little guy was frozen in a straw for 3-1/2 years, was shipped from Seattle to Texas and thawed out in a petri dish and is now a perfect little baby with 10 fingers and 10 toes who could roll over from tummy to back at 1 week old!

Since not everyone in the family is on board with Facebook, I’m posting pictures here until we figure something else out. Robert Ray thanks you all for all of your support and looks forward to meeting everyone!
