Last week, Adam's pediatrician found another hernia in addition to his umbilical hernia that we already knew about. Umbilical hernias are pretty common, but his is exceptionally large. So, today we had a surgical consult over at Children's, and Adam has to have surgery on February 2 to repair both hernias. It's a routine and simple procedure with tiny incisions, but it's still really hard for Phil and me to think about our little baby having surgery already :( We are glad the Dr. found it early so there will be no complications. Please keep him in your prayers!
"Don't worry, guys, I'll be ok!"

Dana, Isn't it crazy what motherhood (parenthood) brings to the table? The love you feel for your son is something you can't describe and your worry box triples when they arrive. It is totally natural to be worried or concerned about your son but be assured that he will be in good hands and taken care of. Believe me, it will be way harder on you and Phil then him. Kids are way tougher then us parents and at these age, he won't remember a thing. I would tell you not to worry but that would be silly. Mom's worry. Just don't dwell on it...positive thoughts go much further and won't drive you nuts. Prayers are everywhere and we will all be sending them your way. Thank you for the update and the little man will do awesome...especially when there's a big booby waiting for him! They love their boobies don't they. Smile and be positive and call if you need someone to chat with. We love you and your family!!
