All is well.

Yesterday, we checked Brody into St. Louis Children's Hospital Same Day Surgery at 6 a.m. Although it was a super early morning for us, Brody didn't seem a bit fazed. His surgery was scheduled for 7:30 a.m., so Kurt and I had 90 minutes worth of distracting to do. No food for a boy who is accustomed to having his first bottle polished off by 6:30 at the latest was the biggest hurdle to cross, but we made it with very few battle wounds. Handing your baby off to his a nurse and anesthesiologist isn't easy, but we made it through that as well. He was back in our arms shortly after 9:00 and was said to be the champ in the recovery room. When they wheeled him into us, he was on his second little bottle of pedialyte and was ready for a real bottle. We were headed for home by 10:00 and Brody never knew we left Missouri.

Although he was a bit groggy from the pain meds, he was still ready for some play time once we got home. He had a good nights sleep last night and has been full of it today. Oh, he had to be weighed yesterday as well, so he now weighs 9.875 kilos, which converts to roughly 21 1/2 pounds! Chunky Monkey!!
