Good Grief! I can't believe it's been a month since I've updated. Lauren made me feel guilty last night when she said, "I check your blog everytime I check my email" so unless she only checks her email once a month, she'll be disappointed at the rate I'm going. Hayes is still his old self. Last Friday, we had a mommy and hayes day and we went to dauset trails and had a picnic and looked at all the wildlife. We had such a great time!! When he first saw the otters, he said "those aren't real are they?" i feel as though i've deprived the poor child. We need to make a trip to the zoo. The last time we went, he was 18 mos and had a broken leg. I'm sure he'll appreciate it much more now.

Sam finally got the much needed tubes!! It's amazing how fast the procedure went. We sat in the waiting room maybe 10 minutes and the nurse came and got us. Of course it was quite pitiful watching him wake up from the anesthesia. He just cried and cried and cried! When we got home, he had a bottle(advised by the nurse) and then took a nap. When he woke up, he was the happiest baby alive. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. We went outside and we rode around the block in his car. After lunch and another bottle (all advised by the nurse after me questioning milk products after anesthesia).. Around 3:00, he started throwing up, throwing up, throwing up! It really scared me after the first 30 minutes of nonstop vomiting. I called kevin to come home with some pedialyte and called the doc. They just said, " keep trying pedialyte and call back if he doesn't get better." I didn't have a chance to get pedialyte ready for him before the gagging began again. Needless to say, my heart was broken. After a two hour nap in mommy's arms, he woke up a brand new baby. We are assuming it was the anesthesia, milk, and "junk" that may have drained to his stomach from his ears. I should have followed my gut not to give him milk. Don't mommies know best anyway??

Haysism of the day - "mommy your belly looks funny", why hayes? "because it's fat'!!! I asked him what fat meant and he said "i don't know"...which made me feel a little better!! that turkey!

a little while later..... "mommy, your tummy isn't fat and i love you"

that made up for everything!
