Matthew got Tubes

A few weeks ago my sweet baby boy got tubes. Everyone said he would be so much happier and a completely different baby because he would feel so much better. Well, he is the happiest baby in the world so even though he had back to back ear infections for over 3 months he was still so happy, he slept through the night and all around just a great baby. Now that he has the tubes he is still happy as can be. Not much changed, but I am glad he isn't in pain anymore. The surgery went great. We got the hospital at 6:00am. He was a little confused as to what was going on, but as long as I was holding him he was fine.

The second I set him down though, he screamed. He got a little bored waiting for the doctor so they gave me a wagon to give him a ride in. He liked it for about thirty seconds, but then he cried for me to hold him again. The hardest part was handing him over to the nurse outside of the O.R. He looked so sad and his big blue eyes were so sad. It ripped my heart out. I don't think I could have done it if it had been a serious surgery. The surgery only took a few minutes and they let me back into the recovery room about 30 seconds after he got there after his surgery. That is one of the pros to doing it in a tiny hospital. He calmed down as soon as he got his bottle and me to cuddle. I have a wonderful sister in law who took the twins for the day so I was able to give Matthew all my attention while he recovered. The next day he was back to chasing his sisters around and being my happy little guy.

On a completely different note, look at that awesome hair! I love his curly hair!!! It brown, blond and even a little red! It kills me with those curls. It is always out of control and I just love it!
