3 Months and Hypospadias Update

London turned 3 months on January 5th. The "hell phase" is over!! YAY!!! London is now babbling and laughing and holding his head up with little support. He is so active. We just started having to use the straps on his changing table. He also loves books and tv. He can sit through a whole book and is mesmerized by everything on the tv, especially cartoons and sesame street. We don't really want him watching tv too much but let him watch a few minutes a day. It is crazy how fast he is growing. He is almost growing out of clothes daily. It's hard to keep up! He is at such a fun age.
Friday London had his consultation with the urologist about his condition. We had to wait until he was 3 months to go. We saw the same doctor that diagnosed London with hypospadias in the hospital. The office was in the city and we had a hell of a time finding it. We barely had to wait and the doctor came in very quickly. He explained that London's penis is attached to his scrotum (I made up a song about this and London thought it was hilarious!) Also, he has a sac of skin engulfing his penis and his pee hole is lower than it should be. So, on April 18th (when he's 6 months) he will go in for surgery at 5:30am for an hour and 45 minute procedure where the doctor will detach his penis from his scrotum, straighten his penis, move his pee hole up and circumcise him. He won't need to stay overnight~yay! He will have a catheter for about 5 days where he'll need to wear 2 diapers and have the tube in the outer diaper. I know I am going to be a wreck but I also know it is very necessary. I scheduled the surgery for the week of my spring break. That way I can be home with him as he heals. While my co-workers are off at key west, I'll be at the hospital waiting for my sweet baby to wake up from anesthesia :-( We just want to get it over with and for him to be healed.
Besides the condition he is incredibly healthy. He now weighs 15lbs and is 26 inches long! He is such a little chunky monkey. People always ask, "Is daddy a big guy?" and I laugh and say "no, we are 2 skinny people with a giant baby." haha. LOVE him!
