BIG DAYS

12/24/2010-We're pregnant!
3/23/2011-Tuckers a boy. We also find out he has Myelomeningocele. Which is a defect where the spinal cord doesn't fully develop. Essentially the spinal cord has an opening. This also causes hydrocephalus; spinal fluid builds up in the ventricals (in the head) and needs a shunt put into to circulate back into the body.
3/28/11-Met with neurologist to talk about severity of Tucker's defect. It was hell waiting 5 days. After having a good talk, Liane and I went and did some baby shoppiing. It was a great day of relief.
7/27/11-C-section date 730am. Surgery to close his spine to come within 48hrs.
7/28/11-Surgery to close spine.

New pics 3-4 months old.


Buppa (Tucker's Grandpa) hangs with, as he calls him, Tuck Tuck.  
The holidays have started for this retail family. Our first day off together in 3 weeks. Lunch at Duke's Chowder House on the Tacoma Waterfront.

Surprise! The in-laws give us our Christmas present early, A beautiful  dining room table.
Of course Mermer made the cap. 


Aunt Sandy (my dad's sister) meets Tucker for the first time. Down from Alaska.  Dinner with the in-laws, Aunt ruth and Uncle Ted (my dad's brother).
Tucker was a frog for his first Halloween. Mermer made the costume! She's amazing.
