Bales' Blessings: March 2013
http://bales-blessings.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
What I'm Reading Now. Sunday, March 3, 2013. One year ago, I was sitting with Joshua in the NICU. Now I see him crawling all over the house and happily getting into everything he comes across. It's amazing how so much change can occur in a year! We had fun celebrating Joshua's birthday this weekend. Here are some pictures of the day. Joshua liked his cake so much, he didn't want to share. "Dad, put the knife down, and step away from the cake! Thanks for the caption, Allie). Links to this post. 160; 15 we...

Bales' Blessings: The Latest Photos/Update
http://bales-blessings.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-latest-photosupdate.html
What I'm Reading Now. Saturday, July 21, 2012. Jeremiah and Joshua are doing very well. Joshua surpassed 10 lbs today, 10 lbs 2 oz. He's huge! And naturally, one of them reached for him to touch his hair. Right about then, James, who was about 10 steps behind me, blurted out, "DON'T TOUCH HIM! Oh boy, was I embarrassed! How do you recover from that one? Just thought it would be worth a warning to any of you if you see us. Here are some pics of my favorite men.. The bros, just hangin' out. July 21, 2012 ...

Bales' Blessings: 6 Months Old!
http://bales-blessings.blogspot.com/2012/09/6-months-old.html
What I'm Reading Now. Wednesday, September 5, 2012. Joshua is 6 months old! Actually, he has been for a few days now. He’ll turn “4 months adjusted," based on his due date. That’s the age we go by when following milestones and answering questions from strangers. On his 6th month birthday, Joshua got his first ride in his "car." He loved it! August started out great visiting family in Minnesota. Living it up with two of his favs, "Yaynee" and "RyRy.". Look, Ma, no oxygen! A rare pic of our family together.

What I'm Reading Now. Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Joshua is now 10 months old, and he is growing like a weed.not surprising since his stomach seems to be a bottomless pit. He sure loves to eat!

http://bales-blessings.blogspot.com/2012/02/january-18th-2012-our-life-changing-day.html
What I'm Reading Now. Wednesday, February 1, 2012. January 18th, 2012. Our Life Changing Day. 1 The subchorionic hemorrhage had grown significantly, infiltrating into the placenta. 3 No nasal bone. This is a common indicator of Down Syndrome. It is seen in 80% of Down's babies and only 1% of normal babies. Blindsided with all of this new information, we had to make some tough decisions on this day about how aggressive to be with the little peanut who wasn't (isn't! God has this child's days numbered, whe...

Bales' Blessings: One Year Anniversary
http://bales-blessings.blogspot.com/2013/01/one-year-anniversary.html
What I'm Reading Now. Friday, January 18, 2013. One year ago today, our life changed drastically. It was the day we "grew up" instantly when we had to make the toughest decision of our lives. Would we stay in the hospital for a C-section to deliver a 24 week old, 15 oz baby who would have a 40% chance of survival and 100% chance of mental retardation and/or major problems in virtually every organ system? Or would we go home and risk having a stillbirth at any moment? THANK YOU SO MUCH! Give that Joshua a...
