Early Morning, a Few Tears, and Tubes for my Baby

At 6:15 early Monday morning we arrived at the Surgical Center. Filled out all the paperwork and it was time to go back. Keith and I were able to go back with him during the beginning where they checked his heartbeat and other assorted things. Nurses were in and out explaining how everything was going to go. Our Dr. came in to check in with us and let us know it was about time. A really nice nurse came to get Parker. He was not a happy camper. Neither was I. It was awful having to watch them take him away. Keith and I sat in the waiting room until it was over. It was seriously only like 10 minutes. They came and got us and we went back to him. He woke up from the anesthesia in a very, very bad mood. He was throwing himself around all directions. He did not want to be held. He did not want me. He did not want daddy. He did not want his apple juice. This was by far the hardest part. The nurses promised me he would feel so much better after a nap. We were able to leave after the nurses got just a little bit of juice down him. He had a bottle on the way home and then fell asleep. After we got home, all 3 of us laid down for about a 2 hour nap. And let me tell you, we all needed it. Parker woke up in a great mood!

He seems to be doing much better! His sleeping at night is getting better little by little!

Now here comes a picture overload . . . 

Having a good time in the bed!! 

Mommy's boy!

After the tubes, on the way home.  

Sweet, sleepy boy

After his nap!

Tubes & More

It has been a rough few weeks. Parker had to see an ENT because his ear infections just won't stop. The Dr. said tubes were a must. So, Monday is the day. We are praying this will finally bring our sweet boy some relief. And maybe, just maybe, we can all start sleeping again. . . 

P hasn't slept much through the night because he is in pain. At first, I would sit in the recliner and rock him while he was laying on me. But I became a zombie. This Momma needs sleep too. So, I started bringing him into our bed after he would wake up. He will prop his head up on my arm or pillow and sleep the rest of the night. I don't sleep good that way but at least I'm getting to doze on and off. 

In other news:

* I got a new iphone 4s and the most adorable case! Yay!!

* I am planning Parker's 1st Birthday Party and so far I have received his party hat, centerpiece, and banners! The Birthday Shirt is on the way! 

* His invitations have been mailed and most have already arrived at their destination! :-) 

* The weather has been cooler this week and I love it

* Parker has random moments of not wanting to eat real food. I think he doesn't like to chew if his ears are bothering him. I made him shells 'n cheese tonight and I threw in some tuna and peas. Well, he loved it! 

* Hubby, Parker, and I tried a new church that is just down the road. Not completely sure it's the right church yet but we are going to try it again this Sunday. 

* Feeling very lucky and blessed to have my sweet boy. So many friends of mine have suffered from miscarriages and I just can't imagine.
