Postby hatchedk » Mon Sep 04, 2006 2:24 pm

I've been lurking here but haven't posted much. Andy is 3 1/2 months old had just had his lip and nose surgery. I have a blog and would love to share it! (I'm just so excited to show off my little guy!!)

Awww He looks terrific! It seems with surgery once you turn that corner it's just all downhill from there..He is gorgeous! I can tell why you want to show off that little guy! Hmm..Those arm restraints look so familiar..Probably because Ella has them on right now as well :lol:

Hi Karen was just going back though post & came across your post. Have you tried bio oil on his scar. This is what we have asked to use on Evan. He is a little sweetie Andy. Hope you are both doing will.

Cheers

Hello

Andy looks SO cute, little bear sitting on the pumpkin. Hilla is also 6 months old now. When Andy will have his palate surgery? Hilla has it next May.

Wow! I was reading your blogspot and it all sounds SO familiar. I have asked my pediatrician & the plastic surgeon about these sleeping issues being related to the cleft. Both have denied that they are related, but with so many Mom's mentioning it, I think someone should do a study! :wink: I know you are so glad to have that first surgery behind you! He looks great!
