Here is my son Jovani Anthony Rodriguez... as of July 2, I will be a stay-at-home mom... so it is just me (his momma) and my beautiful son. My little boy was Born on May 22, 2007 at 8:38 in the morning... he was 7lb and 15oz and he 19.5 inches. He has dark brown hair and eyes.... and his head is slowly turning from cone to perfect round. Everything was going really well, he did suckdown alot of amniotic fluid which caused him to gag (which still scares the cra
p out of me) and vomit fluid. he also weezed ALOT and still does.... so we were planning on taking him home in the morning... well our little world was turned upside down. The nurse noticed he had a heart murmur... they took a round a tests and they weren't satisfied with the results so they did his blood presures and oxygen levels and his blood pressure was different from his leg and arms.... so as we had everything pack up and in the car and the doctor came in and told us that we would not be going home so soon. They needed to do an ecocardiogram (excuse the spelling) and we needed to go to childrens hospital and have the heart docotor read the tests there. (Tears were on stop ALL DAY) So my baby boy had his first ambulance ride (with out his momma!!!!) well MANY hours later we found out that he had a small hole in his heart in the wall between the right and left ventrical which makes his heart pump extra already o
xygenated blood back threw the heart so he is working extra hard and buring more calories than a normal baby. So by the end of that hospital visit he was at 7lbs 3 oz.... But after all of that they did allow all of us to come home at 9 pm. He is a big trooper. WE will have many more appointment at childrens hospital to keep an eye on his heart and hopefully the hole will close on its own or atleast shrink alittle. so he should be fine and there are no surgery planned at this time.but knock on wood... I could not ask for a better baby... he is content AND LABOR ONLY LASTED 9HOURS From first contraction to out in the world. (he could of been out sooner but we needed to wait on a second round of antibiotics in my system which took and extra 2 hours... which i didn't care cuz I had an epideral (again excuse the spelling) I just love him and couldn't imagine my world with out him...my life was not full and i didn't even know it. I know now... he is my world... and sleep just isn't that important anymore... I find myself watching him sleep just to make sure he is breathing.
