CRYING GAMES
posted on 04/28/2008
Baby boy got circumcised today. I am only telling the world this b/c the point is that it was the first time I have seen or heard him cry. The nurses always tell me how good he is and I’ve personally witnessed this. Pure perfection my little prince is. Anyway, it was heart rinching to hear my child cry. I cried, probably not as hard as he did, but it made me hurt to hear his pain in his cry. Most moms aren’t there for this, intentionally, but I wanted to be the one to consol him afterwards, not that this is something consolable for a little boy, but I wanted him to know that I am here and will always be there to wipe his tears. My OB is the one who did it, so she came out and said most of the crying was taking the diaper off. I told her I knew better than that b/c I’ve changed his diapers many times and he doesn’t get bothered. He was given Tylenol afterwards and I immediately fed him so that helped too. The Tylenol kicked in after 40 minutes and he was out. I called throughout the night and the nurses say that he hasn’t cried since, not even when diapers are changed. Good boy.
