I think you are getting more and more used to having more people around you than just me and Dad. You have started to warm up to everyone. You smile and laugh with those who try to talk with you. It's so sweet.
You've been doing good today. You've been eating just liked you should and you haven't been sleeping too much. This I love.
You had your first taste of a grape today. Your Dad was eating grapes and he decided that you should have a taste too. So, he bit off a piece and let you lick the juice. It was the cutest thing. You loved it. You've never tasted anything other than your bottle and your medicine so I am sure it was very exciting for you!
I think we figured out a way that you won't starve before your pre-op on Tuesday. On the paper that PCMC sent us that said you can't eat past 7 am it later says that you can have clear liquids up until 11 am (apple juice, Pedialyte, etc.). So, I called your pediatrician and asked them if you were too young to have clear liquids. They said to give you pedialyte on the day of the pre-op. She recommended that I give you the kind that comes in powder form that you mix with water because that kind isn't as sweet and you will drink it better. She said that this should have enough sugars in it to keep your tummy somewhat full during your pre-op. Learning this was like music to my ears. It immediately calmed my worries and I feel so much better. The pre-op won't be so bad knowing that you haven't been starving for 6 hours. I am so thankful!
It has been fun to get to know your cousins Claire and Dylan better. You are only 3 months older than they are. We are just missing your other cousin Ashley who is about 2 months younger than you. She lives out in Virginia.I wish she and her family were here to join the party. I can already begin to picture the trouble you 4 are going to make together.
Sam and Kallie are taking such good care of you. They will give me your binky if you spit it out, they will tell you stories, and they are always curious about why and how you do certain things. You have such good cousins.
Well, it is bedtime. I love you, Syd.
Love, Mom
