Cinco de Mayo!
Yes this is the response you will receive when you ask Manny, as we have lovingly come to call him, when his birthday is.
Soon after marrying and deciding we were going to allow God to determine if and when we would start having children, we found out we were expecting.
We were living with my sister and her husband, as we both had just moved back into the city. As we realized that we were starting a family we decided to look for a home, while simultaneously adopting a dog, Stella, from a shelter. We truly weren’t worried about the kid of responsibility thrust upon us. We were excited! We made a registry and made sure our room and baby’s room were complete as a minimum. Now as many of you know I am a physician, and I have followed and delivered many babies. Now it was my turn and I was truly at awesome. We decided not to find out the sex, which if you had asked elvin he would have looked at ultrasound and made an educated guess. To him the ultrasound just looked like black/white lines. I must admit I was stuck on the name Emmanuel, and was determined boy or girl that was the name.
As my due date approached we decided to enjoy our time as a family of two. We went to jazzfest 2 weekends in a row. I went to work, felt a bit sore and was moving quite slowly. At my check up I was told I was 3cm dilated, and told I would probably be back.
I wanted nothing more but to not have to be confined to a bed. So 5 minutes apart for 2 hours later, we head out to the hospital. They bring us to this ginormous room, like a suit! It was go time, we arrived around 2am, no later than 8am, we had a beautiful healthy baby boy! He has turned my life upside down in so many ways and I love him so much for it!

Caution, this post is real, as they all are. However it may make some of you uncomfortable.  Have you every watched Moana? There is a scene where moana is after Maui. Well in the middle of the night as she is voyaging there is a storm, she ask the water to help. She wakes up ship wrecked on an island and is upset, because she believes she is off course. She realizes she landed on the island where Maui has been. Well let me give you a better picture. The disciples sitting in a boat, and there is a bad storm. All the while Jesus is asleep. WHAT! The disciples in fear of drowning awoke Jesus.  “And they went and woke him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing." And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8:25-27‬  Since Emerson was diagnosed I have held on ...

New Beginnings...

So as many of you may know our family is not on any sort of social media. However since the birth of our 3rd child, Emerson Daniel, this past summer, I wanted an opportunity to keep those whom are close to use up to date with our lives. As you may come to notice that I will be writing a lot about our youngest as we have been given some medical mysteries with this guy. God has and always been faithful to us during this time. Now I am hoping you will be patient with me, as this whole blogging is fairly new to me. As you will see there are pages, with specified topics. However new updates should show up on the main page when you check in. Please do not hesitate to leave messages, and above all prayers. In Christ The Calderons

Happy Birth day month!

Good morning.  I want to only place thoughts in my head and my heart that are going to leave lasting memories. This is sometimes hard to do. I’ve realized this as I walk with Christ. Many assume that oh those Jesus loving folk got it all together, they just call on His name and blessings rain down. Well yeah that’s true...but even the most righteous have to go through trials and tribulations. I mean have you heard of Job, he got his world turned upside down. Watch to find out about Job So is everything Emerson going through fair? As his mother I would say absolutely not. Do I believe there is a greater purpose in all of Mac’s suffering and his road to recovery and being rid of this leukemia? YES! So despite my flesh wanting to yell from mountain top of how unfair this all is, my spirit desires that I continue to trust in Jesus and his plan for my son. Now that doesn’t mean I disregard treatment or forsake the wisdom and knowledge of the     medical staff. I kn...
