We found out today (I am 31 weeks) that our baby has Gastroschisis, which means his intestines are outside of his body. He's going to need surgery right after birth and will take weeks (or more) to recover enough to get out of NICU. There are quite a few complications that could arise, but everything could also go smoothly, so we're going to focus on the positive and stay optimistic. We just ask that you pass the word along for thoughts and prayers for our baby boy, and also for us and the extended family.
We appreciate all the support we've already gotten from family and friends.
Here's a picture of our beautiful little boy- the only clear-ish one we got... on the right side of his face you can see the intestines up covering his one eye. but he's still gorgeous =)
