Aww.

One year ago yesterday, I saw my baby's face with no wires on it for the very first time. His feeding wire had come out a few weeks before, but the oxygen cannula remained. It came off permanently on July 29th. I cried so hard, seeing my baby's face, being able to kiss him without having to avoid a wire, not worrying about his oxygen levels. They even unplugged him from all of the monitors while he was eating and I said to the nurses, "Check me out!" while I spun around in a circle while holding Ace.

I can't explain how awesome it was to have a wireless baby.

I have a Polaroid on a photo holder in the kitchen from July 29th, but here's the picture I posted on my blog a year ago today:

The Borgling's emergence from the maturation chamber is indeed an event to be celebrated. Go Spiehler of Borg!

I hope you have heard the Martina McBride song-I Have Been Blessed. It is awesome-and I thought of it when I read your post.
My babies turn 16 today. I remember the fear when I couldn't see them right away-I was at stroke level when they did my section (Gee, 210/180 blood pressure isn't a good thing? WOW) so I had to wait about 16 hours.
I can't imagine what you have been through with Ace; you and your family are often in my prayers.
Every day is a blessing...even with teenagers.
