Circumsized

Bruce is 12 days old today.
We went to his pediatrician to have him circumcised.
I really wanted to do this in the hospital, when he was still one or two days old.
But Bruce was born on the weekend, something with the insurance not covering it on the weekend (idk, weird). And apparently the hospital was crowded that weekend.
So they scheduled him today, May 20th.
Dr said its the same within the first 3 weeks anyway.
Ya wes...

We got there at 11:15am.
Me, Hendra, my mom and Steph went there together. hehehe
It took a while for the nurse to prep everything ...
Bruce was crying when we had to take off his clothes.
Good thing we brought a thick blanket.
Susternya lama banget seh!! *ugh
Then she brought in a board called Circumstraint. It has Velcro straps to restrain the baby's arms and legs so that he cannot move.
I lost it ... I cried ... I couldnt bear the thought of him being restrained and in pain.

The Doctor came in and asked only one person to be present there.
She felt uncomfortable performing the procedure with too many people watching.
I obviously couldn't stay.
So only Hendra stayed during the whole thing.
Brave Papa :)

After about 20min or so ...
Hendra came to the waiting room and called us back in.
He said Bruce was very strong.
He cried at the beginning but was very quiet afterwards.
Even the Doctor was amazed and called him "Superstar" !!

Here's a picture of him while waiting on the exam table ...
thanks for the 'empeng', Auntie Inez! :D
