ONE DOWN...A FEW MORE TO GO

Today we checked one more item off our list of things to do. It wasn't the most exciting thing...but, it's done. Justin had his circumcision today and did very well. Didn't even cry! I thought I might though...just kidding. They gave him some Tylenol before the procedure, numbed the area of course, and had him suck on sweeties (sugar water on a pacifier-it blocks the pain for babies). The doctor said it went great. He didn't quite make it to 6 lbs today but we are so close!

Next week we will be really busy. Of course we have Thanksgiving...and boy do we have a lot to be thankful for! But, he will also be checking more items off his list in order to come home. As always, on the top of the list is to keep eating, more and more each day. And today they scheduled his car seat evaluation and also a home monitor and infant CPR education session for us. That will all be happening next Wednesday. We have to be trained on the monitor that he will be coming home with and what to do if it goes off. He will only have to be on the monitor when we aren't watching him which is nice. I will be ready to get rid of all the cords and wires! More pictures to come later tonight :)
