The Ladies' Man

Well, for those of you who were praying for us today, thank you so much! Your prayers were greatly appreciated and definitely heard! Let me give you a little run down of today's events:

We woke up this morning and had our last feeding at 7 a.m. We played for a while, Knox took a little bath, and then he watched mommy finish getting ready for the day. We loaded up the car and drove around for a bit to waste time and assure that he would be asleep since he would be a rather hungry baby if he were awake. He did awesome! Napped the entire time! When we got to the Imaging Center, I started to get really nervous and sad. We checked in waited for what felt like 2 seconds before they called his name. Here's the funny part. Lee and I told the lady that he was probably going to scream as soon as he woke up and that they needed to be prepared. She just smiled at us and told us it would be fine, and she let us go to the back area and into the imaging room to take his clothes off and sit with him for a minute. When we got to the back, out came 3 of the CUTEST young nurses I have ever seen!!!!! We woke Knox up and as soon as he laid eyes on them he smiled the BIGGEST smile! I was so shocked. We totally thought he would freak out and scream due to starvation. Nope, not Knoxie. We got him down to his diaper and since it was cold they let us wrap him in his blanket. The girls were loving him and he was FOR SURE loving them. When I had to hand him over and leave, I teared up and reluctantly gave him to the nurse. He just looked at me like, "bye mom." I was certain that he would freak out at any moment...especially when they had to give him the barium. The girls were so sweet and they assured me everything would be fine and that it would not take long at all. We sat in the hallway outside the door waiting for the horrific "I want my mommy" screams. Nothing. 5 minutes passed, nothing. Then 10 minutes rolled around, and out came the 3 nurses taking turns holding Knox while he was cooing, smiling, and blowing bubbles at them! Lee and I died laughing! They were eating him up and he loved it! They said he did great, drank all that he was suppose to, and didn't make a peep. Stinker! Apparently, I had absolutely to worry about. The procedure was wayyyy harder on me than it was for him. I think he would do it again tomorrow if I let him :).

We head to the specialist on Monday morning to get the results. Thanks again for your prayers and encouragement!
