Opus 228 - Happy Anniversary Joshua!

Today marks one year since Joshua has been wireless. What an exciting day that was! We finally had TWO wireless babies! Oh, how it made life so much easier. Jason and I were reminiscing last night... remembering the days of wired babies. Everything was so much more complicated then. Just giving them a bath was crazy - it made me realize that even now, as crazy as it can get, it's still easier than bathing two wired babies. We had to take off the oxygen (leaving the tabs because they were so painful to remove), turn off the monitor, take off the leads, get new leads ready, bath the kids (the easy part), put on new leads - using painful IV tape on Joshua because his oily skin made the leads slip and alarms go off constantly, put the oxygen back on, turn on the monitors... Oh, and there's the getting the bath ready, getting new diapers and clothes, getting towels, diapering and dressing the kids after the bath; you know, the stuff that normal parents do. It's good to remember those times so we can remind ourselves now that it may be crazy, but it's not as crazy as it used to be!

"Little" Joshie, you are my buddy, my favorite little boy. I am so grateful that you are part of our family! I love you!!!
