Reflections

Jared's family dog is obsessed with lights. It loves to chase lights and could do it for hours. Today we discovered Connor and pup share the same fascination. Connor saw the reflection of the mirror on the ceiling and thought it was hilarious. It was even more funny once Jared started moving the mirror. Pup might have a playmate to chase lights with next time we're in Utah.

The clip's a little choppy, it's from three different videos, but you get the idea.

The Dreaded Eye Surgery

Yesterday was not a fun day. I am so happy to be done with it. Even though Jared and I felt like this was the best thing to do for Connor, it didn't make it any easier to hand him over to the anesthesiologist. But after lots of kisses, I did hand him over, and waited for what seemed like forever in the waiting room. Finally the doctor came out and said things went great. Everything went according to plan.

We went back as Connor was waking up. It was so sad to see him like that, but I was so relieved the scariest part was over. The anesthesiologist told us to be prepared for him to be pretty upset as he was waking up and that it was pretty rare for a baby not to cry. Not surprisingly, Connor didn't fuss at all waking up. I couldn't get my self to put him down so he slept on me all day long and finally started to really wake up around 6.

Today he's back to himself again. His eyes are still red and he's got goobies but he's smiling, wiggling, and rolling all over the place. Today is a much better day than yesterday.

In the recovery area

Me feeling much better about things. He'd eaten, the IV was out and we were getting ready to head home.

Poor guy

This is how we spent the day

Day after surgery. Much better.
