Baby Maverick

This blog was created to keep family and friends updated on what's going on with the pregnancy, birth, and surgical plan for Maverick. We'll also be able to keep everyone updated during his surgery and recovery and hopefully be able to show you some cute pictures of him, Maddie, Carter and Chloe along the way.

This was the original intent; however, when we started this blog we had no idea the twists and turns our lives would take. Our sweet baby Maverick was born September 12, 2008 with Transposition of the Great Arteries, ASD, and VSD. We expected to have a baby boy to bring home three to four weeks after his surgery. He had numerous complications after his arterial switch and fought through many that would have taken the life from an adult. He passed away February 24, 2009 - without ever coming home.

This blog is now a place I share my feelings, work through the grief, remember Maverick, and try to make sense out of our life without him. I hope in doing so I am giving a name and a face to babies everywhere born with congenital heart defects.

A New Start

Well, along with Maddie's new adventures in the blog world, I've started a new blog. I'm still planning on keeping our Baby Maverick blog up, but primarily for remembering Mav, awareness and education on congenital heart defects, and helping others who are dealing with the loss of a child. I know many of you are curious about the other aspects of our lives (including the money-saving deals), and out of respect for Mav's precious life I decided to start another site to share those and share our daily adventures. The new site is www.julesfavoritethings.blogspot.com.
