my little baby

Look at this cute girl; she has no idea what is about to happen.



We had to be at the hospital way early and then the doctor was an hour and a half late... not too fun with a very tired and very hungry little girl. To make matters worse, we (me and this other mom) overheard one of the nurses say the Dr. was going to be late -- so we said, "Oh, Dr. will be late?" She totally lied and said, "No, that's not what I said." Okay... apparently we both needed tubes in our ears too! Being late happens; I can't get too annoyed because I tend to run late (although 1hr 1/2 is pretty dang late), but don't lie to me. Your child gets to pick out a free toy while they are waiting, so since I waited so long Reese told me to go pick out some more free toys (we got some for Boston too). I figure my wait time and my future bill for the surgery will majorly outweigh the cost of those toys, so it's all good :)

So Reese got out of surgery, the Dr. said everything went really well, the nurses all commented on her "incredible set of lungs" (I could hear her waking up from the anesthesia 2 rooms away), and she has slept a good chunk of the day away. It is amazing how resilient little children are -- even with the bloody oozing coming out of her ears, she's incredibly happy. Let's hope that this is the only time little Miss Reese needs tubes.

And seriously, the little scrubs they give you are so incredibly cute and sad at the same time. They are just so tiny that your kid can't help but look adorable, but knowing that they are sick and need to have the scrubs on is quite depressing. Therefore, I took some pictures of my chunky monkey in her outfit that left me emotionally confused.
