too much 'hospital' time

Yesterday B had his tonsils/adenoids out. I was up at the hospital with him for about 4 hours, start to finish. He did really well. He was very exhausted going in to it, so a little emotional. When I walked to the OR doors with him, the nurse said "this is where we part, B you want to give your mom a hug?" I thought, not good, it would have been better for me to quietly slip out. He started crying, hugged me and would not let go. Two nurses had to finally pry him off of me. I joined up with him in recovery about 40 minutes later. He came home with quite the appetite, eating mac n cheese, apple sauce, milk shake, strawberries, popsicles and chicken nuggets. He has not taken any of his pain meds and he thankfully slept all night last night. Still feeling a little puny and his voice is raspy. I sure hope he does not get use to all these fun foods and just laying around. (We do have the tonsils in a jar if anyone is interested). The doc did say that the adenoids were pretty large, which we knew the adenoids were more the problem and not the tonsils. Maybe now he will breathe easier and hopefully be able to smell too.
Then today I had my appt. The doctor ended up running a few extra tests to check things out with the baby. So my appt lasted over 3 hours. Everything checked out just fine and both the doc and the ultrasound tech said the baby was in a tight little ball, so the gender was not 'visible', had I wanted to know.
