Surgery Went Well!

Today Jakob had his circumcision surgery and did very well. We were at the hospital at 6:30. He could not have any food or water since midnight. So we didn't get much sleep. He wanted his bottle so badly last night. We made the best of it and he was sure happy to get it when he came out of surgery. Jakob had some time to play before surgery. The nurses loved him. He didn't really care for his gown, but the blue socks were styling.





We had to wait about 1 hour so it was not too bad. Jakob came back to the post op room in his crib. He slept for another hour before he started to wake for us to pick him up. He had an IV in his foot, so it was hard to hold him for a little while. Once he came around he was ready to drink and go home. The doctor said he will have some pain for a few days, so we are going to stay at home and not do much. We have already watched Baby Einstein 4 times today. Going to Blockbuster in a bit to find some more movies. He is eating pretty well. The hospital did a great job we were home by 10:00. Just wanted to give everyone an update.
Back to Baby Einstein!!
Lots of Love,
Mom, Dad & Jakob
