Cardiology update

Hey all--

No new pics today, just a quick update and then a quick funny story...

Josiah had a cardiology appointment today. Everything is great-- perfect as can be. Still a little murmur and a little hole, but that's totally expected and will almost definitely self-repair. He's doing very well and is a happy, cute baby. (and a good night sleeper-- thank you Jesus!)

Okay, here's my funny story--
Today was rare in that Josiah seemed like he was interested in taking an afternoon nap (he almost never does!) I put him in the bassinet and ran a hot bath thinking I could have a few minutes of relaxation with ALL THREE KIDS SLEEPING!!! Sure enough as soon as I was dipping my feet in I hear "Waahhhh!" from the bassinet. I didn't want to give up my bath time so I let a little hot out, put a little cold in, undressed Josiah and we both got in the tub. About 30 seconds (literally) into the bath I hear a creak from the hallway as the door to the kids' room opens. Nia comes in the bathroom and asks if she could get in the bathtub too. I told her no, but she kept asking and I didn't want her to have a tantrum and wake Nico, so I said fine. She undresses and goes potty while I let out a little more water so that it's not too deep and she climbs in the tub. At this point we hear the door creak once more (yup) and Nico comes into the bathroom. He woke up and didn't want to be left out of the bath time fun... How could I say no to him when his brother and sister were already in there? So I let a little MORE water out and add some more cold (since he only likes tepid baths!) and let him come in. I am sure we were a sight. Four people in a small bathtub. (This was just the regular old hallway bathtub, not the big garden tub.) It was crowded, but we did it. We washed everyone's hair and bodies then Josiah and I left the tub, and then Nico and then me. Once we all left the tub there was only about 4 inches of water (pretty dirty water) left in the tub. Even though it would have been entirely inappropriate, it was one of those times you just wish you had your camera ready. Oh well. It was better than the bath time yesterday when Nico pooped in the tub. sigh.

gotta go to bed... it's LATE!
