Doing great.

Parker did so great with the ear tube procedure.  We literally sat in the consult room for 5-7 minutes and the doctor was back with us, telling us how well everything went.  Within 15 minutes of leaving him, we were back with our baby in recovery, who was still a little sleepy (he had a general anesthetic with a mask) but back to himself pretty quick.  Everything went so quick, that I really had no time to get upset or have anxiety.  I did get a little frog in my throat when they took him back, but that was it.  He was extra tired the day of the procedure but had no other side effects.  He is doing great, and hopefully this will help heal his tiny ears and we won't suffer through ear infection after ear infection.

And back to normal, playing with Mommy's tennis shoe.
Parker was really sick (upper respiratory and ear infection) the week of the surgery, which ended up being on Valentine's Day, so I didn't get to post about his first Valentine's Day.  It was very eventful.  Parker went to bed and Mommy and Daddy made a pizza and had some wine.  
My little heart breaker

Thank you for my Valentine's Day, package, Gigi.  I especially love this plastic snack holder.

Sweet boy. I hope this relieves his little ears.
