Grace Anderson3 said:The earliest memory I have—and I must have been about eighteen months old—is sitting there sipping from my bottle and suddenly thinking, "Wait, am I actually too old for this?" Not even a minute later, I overhear my dad telling my mom, "Yeah, she doesn't need the bottle anymore." 🤔
That’s a trip. 👍 I can still picture myself sitting in my crib, just kicking my legs through the slats.
Little Josh is just bouncing around happily, shouting "Johnson & Johnson" because, honestly, he deserves the best.
🤣🤣
That little Baby is just too precious; he can barely even stand yet and he's already dancing, much like Dinah's will be.
I still remember how my parents used to pester me constantly when I was small—always asking things like, "Where's Daddy's hat?" over and over until I finally decided to go on strike. Deep down, I was just thinking, why don't they ask me anything else? It wasn't like I was as dim-witted as they seemed to think. 🤣
Grace Anderson3 said:Thanks everyone for the good vibes. 🙂 The test results for the little guy are looking better and better, so I’m really hoping we won’t have to hang out in this hospital for much longer and that in just a few days, we'll all be back home together. 😍
I'm so relieved to hear that the Baby's results are improving. He’ll be back to himself before you know it; honestly, it’s pretty common to run into these kinds of hurdles at first while such a tiny little thing tries to adjust to everything. He just needs some time to recover from the shock of it all—it hasn't been easy on him either.
Grace Anderson3, I'm so sorry. 🙂 I know you're feeling pretty down and worried right now, but honestly, things are going to work out.
🙂
At least you get to be right there by his side; if you were in some of those crazy hospitals out in Chicago, they probably would have separated you two already. 🤦

🤣🤣 Poor Hans, trying to catch some shut-eye. Baby says the arrival is set for Friday.
A friend of mine was telling me how she barely made it to the hospital—it was just one of those "it’s happening right now" moments—and that was her first baby. 🤷
Then there's another friend who told me she’d honestly rather go through labor all over again than sit in a dentist's chair for an hour. Those are some pretty glowing reviews if you ask me. 👍

I’m with her on this one—sleeping through it would be incredibly irresponsible for a friend, let alone someone acting as the honorary godfather for the baby on this forum.👎
The baby is probably going to hold out until the very last second before they opt for an induction, which looks to be this Friday. 👍 It’ll likely all go down late Friday night. 🎉
Grace Anderson3 said:Hans joked that since there wasn't a doctor on hand when the little guy was born, nobody can really pin down an exact due date 😬
Baz 😂 😂
That’s exactly my point—it's all just guesswork on their end. Just take things one step at a time and don't sit around waiting, though I suppose we're all kind of "helping" speed things along here. 🤣
