Tomorrow is going to suck

DD2 is getting her tubes tomorrow (unless I go into labour before then).

The instructions I got are to not let her eat past midnight, then she can have apple juice or Powerade/Gatorade up until 10AM, then nothing at all. Surgery isn't until the afternoon (between 1PM and 2:30PM they said). I am already dreading the "I AM STARVING!" meltdown.

  • I am surprised they have her surgery so late. Chase had his at 6 months but his surgery was at 8 and we couldn't let him eat or drink after midnight either. I hope the day goes by fast.

  • I had to do that with DS2 when he had dental surgery. I gave him a huge dinner and after that he wasn't allowed to eat. He was only allowed small sips of water in the morning. To be honest, he watched a lot of cartoons until we had t

  • That's rough, especially because she won't really understand. Good luck tomorrow! Maybe give her a special treat after dinner tonight
