Rough day for Cash

Today we went to the pediatric ENT so that Cash could get his frenulum cut. The poor little guy was born with a pretty bad case of tongue tie where the connective tissue that attaches the tongue to the lower palate is really short. It was causing some problems with breastfeeding and also can lead to speech problems in the future so Ross and I were pretty adamant that it needed to be corrected as quickly as possible. So today I had to hold my screaming baby down while the doctor first numbed his mouth and then put scissors inside of it. It was heartbreaking. But now he is sans frenulum....and still has what looks like to be the shortest tongue around (also probably inherited by me). He has yet to ever stick his tongue out of his mouth which may be a good thing later on when he is just using it mockingly but now still causes some concern for the breastfeeding. So it looks like I will definitely be hiring a lactation consultant for some help. He's been sleeping pretty solid for this whole day after since I assume is was quite the traumatic experience for him. All in all, a rough day for the little guy (and for me).
