Worst Ever

Today was Cason's checkup and circumcision. :( The nurse who took us back was calling "Carson?" in the waiting room. Ha. Poor baby. I wonder how often people will get his name wrong. He lost a half an ounce, so he's "down" to 8 lbs 11 oz. I'm surprised he didn't gain weight, with the way he eats. I swear he eats more than Paige did, and she gained weight her first week of life. But a half an ounce lost is still pretty good. He also grew an inch and a half. Haha. I always wonder whether they really stretch them out when they measure them. He was 21.5 inches long today.

Anyway, they had us leave the room for the "procedure", which is probably best. He was pretty upset afterwards, but calmed down and slept for a couple of hours and woke up okay. But then I had to change the first diaper. I won't get into detail, but I ended up in tears, too scared to finish, and Jess rushed home to do it for me. Don't worry, he's fine, it was just very upsetting for me. I was just lucky he slept long enough for Jess to get off work before I had to change a diaper. I have the best husband, he can't even cut the cord when his babies are born, or really even watch them being born, or he'll get queasy. But today he did the diaper for me, and came out more pale than I've ever seen him. Poor guy. He was SOOOO white. But Cason's had a couple diaper changes since, and they've gone much better, without him even crying. So it may not be as bad as it was looking. We'll see.













On a happier note, Paige gave Cason four sweet kisses yesterday. It started with one, but when she saw it made me smile she kept giving more. I love them both.

Aww...that's so sad! I didn't watch Deacon's, but Nathan did and was very intent on learning all the different procedures. I asked if he planned on doing it for a hobby or something!?

That is precious that Paige was giving him kisses.

Oh yeah, I am curious now as to what that shirt says Ü I've been trying to read it and I got nothin'!
