The smallest victories

In the poem I posted a few weeks ago, it mentions not taking anything for granted. Adorable baby babbles. Rolly poly little baby thighs. And baby pants. Well, that last one is just for us.

Because Hannah has such bad reflux, she has been unable to wear pants since she was born. The pressure from the elastic waistband would put too much pressure on her little belly. causing her reflux to break through the medication. Within a short time, she would be fussy, grumpy and crying for no apparent reason. Except I knew why she would cry. And all it would take for her to settle down is a little momma snuggle and for her to ditch the pants. But today was a big day. She has successfully worn pants ALL day. (Envision a cascade of balloons falling from the ceiling while a band, appearing out of nowhere, starts to play a victory song.)

Ahhh, the little things that make the day wonderful.
