Tomorrow is surgery day! I will finally get this pesky gall bladder out! I'm not really nervous, though I don't especially like the idea of being put to sleep. Stephanie (AKA Sreio, AKA Birthday Buddy) and Ashley Crabtree will be watching Noah while Rudy and I are at the hospital, so hopefully he'll behave! I'm not too worried because I know how he loves attention and new people.
Noah had projectile vomit twice yesterday evening so we headed to Kosair to make sure everything was okay. We waited FOUR hours in the waiting room and by the time he was checked out, he was absolutely starving and exhausted but still did very well! He hadn't eaten anything in over 7 hours (successfully anyway) and he had basically sucked his hand raw. They did an X-Ray and saw no obstructions or anything to be worried about so they had us try to give him 2 ounces of pedialyte. He drank those 2 ounces in about a minute (not exaggerating!) because he was so hungry. He spit about half of it up too, we figure it was because he drank it so quickly, but we had to wait and try again to be sure. The next one we tried, I stopped him about half way through and he did fine so they sent us home where he's had no problems at all with his formula. They just told us to go back if he had anymore troubles, we still have no idea what caused the problem in the first place.
Noah has been smiling all the time now. He's very social and just lights up and grins when people talk to him. He loves the attention! Nobody seems to mind his ADORABLE smile either!
Noah's 2 month checkup is this Friday so we'll get to check on his weight, length and get another set of immunizations. Pretty excited to see how much he's grown, because I know he has!
I'm going to head to bed so I will be ready for surgery tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to getting rid of the gall stones, but not really looking forward to another surgery recovery. I got through the recovery of my C-Section though, so I know it won't be too bad. Wish me luck, I'll update again soon!
