MomToJade&Jordan replied: I hope it all goes well for Nora. I'll be thinking about you guys.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I think I missed something...I didn't know she was having ear problems. Good luck ~ I hope they help!

Lol... the 18th is my first prenatal appointment and it seems like a long time to me.

jcc64 replied: Even though it's for something as routine as ear tubes, it's always frightening to face the prospect of surgery, particularly with our babies. I know she'll be just fine, though, and in the end, she'll be much better off without all of those infections.

coasterqueen replied: Amy. I didn't know she was still having problems, poor baby. I would be a bit scared too. Let us know how it goes.

huggybugboy replied: aww, little Nora. I'm sorry that you have to go through this Amy. But she will be so much better when its all done! Lots of hugs to you!

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Hope everything goes well

Jamison'smama replied: Hugs to baby Nora---I just posted about Jack getting tubes as well. I will be anxious to see how she does. I'm sure she'll do great. How will she do with the "no fluids after midnight" ---is she still nursing through the night?

amynicole21 replied:
That's what I'm most worried about. She nurses ALL NIGHT LONG It's going to be difficult and I'm really not looking forward to it. How about Jack - do you think he'll do ok? I have to go find your post now

Jamison'smama replied: That worries me more than the procedure for some reason. He nurses from about 5 am-7 every morning and usually once or twice during the night. DH will have to take the night shift and be prepared to miss some sleep. Is her surgery going to be first thing in the morning I hope?

amynicole21 replied: I won't find out when it is scheduled until the day before. So much for planning!

A&A'smommy replied: oh goodness I'm glad she is going to get some relief soon though!!!

3_call_me_mama replied: HUGS! Hope it is a quick and easy procedure!!! Hope you both do well with teh night of no nursing!

ediep replied: ((((HUGS))))) to you and baby Nora!!! I am sure she'll beeze right through the procedure!

DansMom replied: I didn't know Nora was having trouble, Amy (guess I need to check into PC more frequently). I hope the tubes will fix things. Sophia had a lot of ear infections too, didn't she?

My2Beauties replied: I know it's really scary Amy, but hang in there. I was mortified when Hanna got her tubes put in because of the anesthesia, but the surgery was done in literally 3 minutes, it was over and done and she woke right up. They are a little out of it when they first wake up and they are disoriented so they cry and stuff, but after they get over the intial feeling and take a nap, they wake up and are a happy baby again. Hanna's has never had an earache since she had tubes in her ears. I just recently found out at her last doctor appt. for her poopy problems that they fell out, but she is still fine. I promise it'll be ok.

Nora will do just fine
I will be thinking of her
