Here!!

I'm sorry I haven't been as active lately. We started working with a sleep consultant in mid-May and it has taken up a lot of time (logging EVERYTHING etc). I try to keep up with the fb page but I'm admittedly not contributing much these days!

Things are going well with us. Colton turned 6 months last weekend and officially started eating solids regularly, which is going really well. He had to have some x-rays done of his skull because our Dr. was concerned that the sutures may have fused. We didn't hear anything back, which was supposed to mean all was fine, but I'm going to still follow up with our Dr. when she gets back from vacation.

I hope all is well with everyone and I promise to participate more regularly.

Thanks for thinking of me fuzzylogic!

Hey guys! Sorry I've been MIA - it's been a crazy month.

F had surgery on his undescended testicle (plot twist - it never developed so they removed the clump of cells) and my husband also had surgery (AC joint repair in his shoulder) so I've been pretty busy at home, and work has been hectic. So, not much time for internetting!

Annnnd F is waking up. Hope everyone is doing well!

[fuzzylogic]

allycat, wow, that is a busy month. I hope everyone is recovering well

[allycat]

Wake up fake out.

Thanks fuzzylogic. Everyone is doing well but I'm definitely ready for the surgery business to move on from our house.

[fuzzylogic]

allycat, I can't even imagine. Can I just say that surgery freaks me out? The recovery, the stitches, all of it. It's like my brain can't understand how recovery works and I just don't ever want to have to have any real surgery (I've only had a very minor procedure done when I was old enough to know what was happening, and stitches only once and no more, thanks) because it just scares the shit out of me.

Kudos to you for hanging in there for all of that. You're a stronger woman than I am.

[fuzzylogic]

And wait, F only has one testicle now? Am I understanding that correctly?

[ldubhawksfan]

allycat oh my goodness. I'm sorry to hear about DS. How is his recovery? Surgery on babies is so scary to me. They are just so little!!

Ha, yep. He's the uniballer forever. Doctor said that there won't be any future issues, so it's just what it is.

Eta: with undescended testes, they either bring it down (if it's there) or remove it if not. If they don't remove it, it increases the risk for cancer later. So, out it came.

That is a relief to know there won't be any issues in the future.

He was actually fine like, the next day. Day of he was just groggy and a little fussy, but they're super resilient. Me, on the other hand? I was a mess. Handing him off to the nurse anesthetist was so hard, then coming back to recovery and hearing him scream was torture. But it's all good now

[fuzzylogic]

allycat, I'm so glad to hear it's not going to be a problem. #boyprobz, amirite?

Lol. Boner during diaper change = you're about to get peed on. At least in my experience.

YUP. If I pull that diaper down and he's got a boner I immediately put that sucker back on and just wait a few minutes lol.

I'm not going to tag her, since it's been so long since she posted, but I think about hangryhedgehog and wonder how she's doing and how things with her baby went.

The sleep consultant had been great! The nights are really good and the morning nap is also good. The afternoon is nap is still short, but he's finally out of the swing, so overall it went well.

Yeah, Rizzo has the sass I wished I could pull off lol!
