6 Years Baby!!!

Well I will post a pictue later on, but I just wanted to share with you the feelings I have about my husband. April 27th was our 6th Aniversary and I have to say that I couldn't ask for someone else to spend my life with. I believe that marriage just gets better with time (I know...Sometimes I want to kill him but I'm talking in general). Alex has truly been a great example to me. He is the person with most qualities I know. One of them PATIENCE, other ways this 6th year wouldn't have happend. He is a great dad to Alex and he does whatever it takes to keep me happy. To make a long story short... I love him soooo much, and like he asked me YES I WOULD MARRY HIM ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

Say hello to Ben.

Here's Ben. Pretty self-explanitory. Cynthia was pretty bummed that it was a boy, but I think she'll get over it in a couple of months. No, no. She's over it now. Anyway, Ben was squirming the whole time, and within the first 15 minutes, I was convinced we wouldn't see anything. But then we got a underside view and he proceeded to let us know that, yes, he was of the male persuasion. And he proceeded to let us know for around 15-20 minutes afterward. Cynthia promised the baby bump, but these will have to do until we get that. Enjoy.

What is Hirchsprungs Disease?

Hirschsprung's Disease is a congenital condition which can cause extreme constipation, pain, and fatal intestinal blockage. Anemia, bloody stools and diarrhea may also be noted with the condition. Surgery, though intensive, can treat the causes and most children with Hirschsprung's Disease lead normal lives after surgery.
Hirschsprung's Disease manifests as a lack of appropriate nerve cells in the large intestine or colon. When the body cannot sense that the colon is full with waste products, the intestine can back up. In infants this may be seen as infrequency of bowel movements, which may be accompanied by painful spasms. Because of larger bowel movements, the sensitive skinaround the anus can tear, causing blood in the stool. Blood may also pool in the large intestine.
