Cooper had a rough day today. When he was born there wasn't anyone at the hospital during the duration of our stay who could perform his circumcision. Today he finally had that done. Neither of us wanted to be in the room while they strapped him down and did the procedure (even though he was numbed and won't remember it anyway) so we waited for him to come back to the room. While there, we could hear other little ones getting their check-ups and shots and could tell they were not our little Cooper. It amazes me how we know his specific cry and just how different it is from other infants. At any rate, we could hear when he was on his way back to the room. We were ready and waiting to get him redressed, nursed, and flee the office. His little cry was so heartbreaking - I hope to never hear those little screams again - I'm sure the carseat buckle didn't feel the greatest on his new little owie, but his safety was not something that would be discarded for a little discomfort. We were nearly home when he quit crying and has been napping on me for the last hour and a half.
Before his procedure, they did a vitals check. His new stats are:
Weight: 7lbs 14oz
Length: 20in (really? I don't think he shrunk....)
Head Circumference: 14 3/4 in.
We asked for a printout for his growth chart percentages, but we all forgot about it when we left. Oops.

Poor guy. Their cries of pain are so horrible especially since they have no idea why they're being subjected to pain! That was the worst for me. I remember that with my little man.
