But it does heal fast and it doesn't seem to bother the babies after the initial procedure. I just caught up on Daniel's adorable pictures (I love the angry, coneheaded baby one) and all that happened to bring him into the world. He is so beautiful, and I'm happy the breastfeeding and everything is working out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-1157753249318332682006-09-08T17:07:00.000-05:002006-09-08T17:07:00.000-05:00Your story makes me very glad we got it done at th...Your story makes me very glad we got it done at the hospital and that I wasn't involved in the actual procedure. Daniel will recover (probably much more rapidly than you) very quickly I am sure. At least this is over with now and you can just go on loving him.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16840127954411771067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-1157724242229020702006-09-08T09:04:00.000-05:002006-09-08T09:04:00.000-05:00Oh no, Em, I probably shouldn't have read this. Wh...Oh no, Em, I probably shouldn't have read this. When Alex was circumsized, it was in the hospital. They normally do it away from the parents, but I told Mitch it was his duty to go --- like you and Steve, I wasn't as sold on it but Mitch was dedicated to getting our son circumcized. Well, Mitch said it was hard to watch, but he didn't give me any details. Which was much easier on me. Now I could just cry thinking of how it went for Daniel and imagining my son being strapped down like that. AH!<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth, the circ healed very quickly, although we did keep putting vaseline on it for a few extra days to make sure it was ok. Did your doc give you any instructions about pulling the skin back at diaper changes? Ours never did, until at one of our appointments we found out it was adhering and there was another nasty procedure we had to go through. :( It continues to be a struggle, but the doc said that we can finally stop worrying about it and it will all end up in the right place when he grows up and starts having erections. :|Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-1157683708874306732006-09-07T21:48:00.000-05:002006-09-07T21:48:00.000-05:00Wow, that would be tough to watch and put my child...Wow, that would be tough to watch and put my child through. Still there are benefits and he won't remember a thing and will be fine. Still, I'm sorry for you (and Daniel too, poor guy). He'll heal quickly though.LutherLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10949785104237442171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-1157664266438745992006-09-07T16:24:00.000-05:002006-09-07T16:24:00.000-05:00Ew!

I'm sure it is not any easier knowing he is going to be okay, but... he will. And so will you. :)<BR/><BR/>*hugs* I'm thinking of you.
