double fisting!

max is taking a little nap right now so i thought i would try and get a blog entry done:)
so his surgery went really well and we are so grateful for that! it was a bit of stressful day. of course, max woke up at 5am wanting some food and he couldn't have any:( it was a feat to keep him occupied and sucking. by the time we got to the surgery center he was doing okay but was still having moments of "where's my food????" we checked in and they took us back...the staff/nurses/drs were all wonderful! max had to wear a little hospital gown...it was pretty cute but of course i wasn't with it enough to take a picture. we gave him some extra kisses and snuggles before they took him back. they took me and papa over to his recovery room and a long 40 minutes later dr J came in to let us know that the surgery went well. the nurses brought max in about 30 minutes later...he was pretty out of it but nursed for about 10 minutes and then went back to sleep! that's pretty much what he did for the rest of the day:)
we are now pretty much back to his regular routine during the day. he isn't sleeping as long at night as he was before the surgery but i'm hoping it will just take a week or so for him to get back to where he was. he's been playing and talking like crazy. he sometimes like to double fist with the toys:)
he's been giving mama some great smiles on the changing table. i think he's right at 13lbs.
mama has 3 of her closest friends from college coming in town this weekend...max can't wait to meet E, C, and A! we'll post some pics next week!
