Tonight I held a baby who stopped breathing.
While I was holding him.
But you know what? That's how he rolls.
At 3 months old, he has graduated from being ventilated 100% of the time to breathing on his own while he's awake. Mostly.
Even though I knew that his little breath-holding escapade wasn't uncommon, that his parents are well-equipped to deal with this, that the beeping of the monitor warned us with plenty of time to spare, AND that there was a nurse in the room, it was still frightening for that split second.
His parents are more good people that I will miss from Vancouver. If you're curious to hear more, they're blogging about their little bundle of fun and how every breath is a gift.

We also ate delicious Indian food and wasted time on websites like the one that gives us this beauty:
