Foreskin update

All went pretty well and pretty uneventful today. The doctor was very nice and very confident and explained everything in detail and we felt good about his bedside manner. It took about 25 minutes, he said Bryson's penis looked totally normal and that there wasn't a lot of foreskin. Anyway, I said in the exam room and Lawrence, doc, and Bryson went to the procedure room. I spent my time texting with a couple of friends and passing the time. Thank goodness for that. I was in knots. When they came back Bryson was breathing as though he'd been screaming his head off. I tried to get him to nurse and he did a little, but fell asleep. Lawrence had to go back to work. I cuddled him for a while and then put him in the car seat. He was not happy with that, but fell back asleep pretty quickly.

Then I braved the mall for one last traditional personalized gift that I couldn't get beforehand because I needed to know if Bryson would be here or not to finish it. Then I went to Walgreens for vaseline and gauze. His pee pee looks red and small but...he'll be okay, just have to be very careful about changing him and keeping the vaseline and gauze on for the next few days. Bryson slept the whole day almost. I'm so exhausted. I didn't have a stroller as the mall trip was a little impromptu and I didn't realize it until I got there, and already found a great parking spot. So I carried him, in the car seat. I think I overdid it but I couldn't not have this family gift. Everyone is downstairs hangining stockings and I am resting and writing this. It might be a long night, or not, it's hard to say.

Thank you for my texting friends, and thanks for all the advice! I feel a little overdramatic. But that's how I feel! Sigh, it's over, done, and it seems like I'm the only one left with some trauma! I guess that's a mama's job...
