Yesterday was such a stressful, yet exciting day. We all got up bright and early, to be at Dreycin's ear tubes surgery at 6:30am, Dreycin went back for surgery at 7:40am, he didnt cry but I spent most of the time barfing in our room's bathroom. I think it was nerves, and since I only had tea crackers I was pretty much dry heaving...... and then the doctor came out at almost 8am and said he did fine, he should be waking up in recovery in about 15-20min. The doc said that there was alot of thick, old fluid build up in the right ear, and not as much in the left ear. They placed a tube in each ear, and said they should fall out in 1yr. We have a f/u in 1wk. About 5min later a nurse came in with Dreycin (who reaked of perfume, in the medical field they usually do not let you wear perfume) who started to wimper shortly after he saw us. I had his bottle ready for him, and right away he gulped down almost 8oz. He continued to cry for the next 1hr on and off. They told us to keep his diet bland for the day, and I had brought a bag of saltines and dreycin munched on those during his bouts of crying on the way home. Once we got home Dreycin and I spent the next 1.5hrs watching Sesame Street and some other show. But once the afternoon rolled around he was ready to party again! Today Dreycin is still whiney, now the night time wasnt so great. He woke up around 1am and 4am. Today we went to the mall, to the park for a picnic lunch with our chickfila and then to bed bath and beyond to get a knife holder because Dreycin is so tall he can reach in all of our drawers. Im not waiting to let an accident happen. We all picked up some sidewalk chalk since its getting nice out! He is now passed out napping. Around noon I left for the ultrasound and my OB appt. The ultrasound went great, the baby weighs 12ounces right now, and has "big bones" according to our doc. Since I have Sjrogen's syndrom they had to take additional pictures of the brain and heart, which both were completely normal. And since im on the lupus med Plaquenil, additional pics of lips and nose to rule out cleft lip and palate. Our baby boy is perfect, im measuring about 1wk ahead of my due date, and an average due date due to his size is Sept 1st, which happens to be Derek's grandpa's bday. My boys sure do favor being born on their grandfather's bday! Wouldnt that be something, Dreycin born on his papa Doss' bday and Baby #2 born on his Gpa DeLaVega's bday! Our little boy was turning and twisting so much that we couldnt catch a glimpse to see the gender! He is active, but still not as active as Dreycin was! I have to say I was completely fooled, I totally thought that since this pregnancy was so different from the first I was having a girl. Everything from food cravings, to less morning sickness, to feeling like I was carrying this baby wayyyyyy lower. Im so thankful that our baby is healthy, and in a way it is a blessing that I get to use all of Dreycin's stuff again! I already am thinking about going through all of it, and went and did some shopping this morning for baby #2. We think we are going to stick with the D's, Derek already has a D boy name picked out. And I already bought the crib off of craiglist, for 1/2 the price that it is in store. IT looks brand new, a few scratches but it looks so good....and it converts to a toddler bed, then full size bed! We have no idea what kind of bedding yet, I thought something with the sea, Derek likes a dragon/prince/swords/shields theme. We'll see! But I think Derek can take the lead with this baby!
Here are a few pics of Dreycin's surgery, baby # 2 and the crib we bought!
