Teething Twins

What's worse than a baby that is teething? 2 babies that are teething! Sometimes Dustin will ask me in the morning how many times I was up with the babies. I can honestly say that most of the time I don't rememeber! But last night I tried to remember how things played out and so here it goes. I also want to add that our computer is on the blitz, so I am trying to update this before our computer is out for a couple of days. So, consequently Dustin and I were up late last night trying to save all of our stuff onto flash drives and CDs.

8:30 p.m. Both babies in bed asleep.
11:30 p.m. Dustin and I go to bed (later than we wanted to)
12:00 a.m. Chase cries out, and I think that he will go back to sleep.
12:05 a.m. Nope, he's awake. I get him before he wakes up Kourtney. He doesn't want a bottle he just wants to be comforted.
12:45 a.m. Put Chase back in bed.
1:30 a.m. He's up again! It must be his teeth, right? Maybe, but I give him a bottle as well.
2:00 a.m. Chase is back in bed and so am I. I swear no sooner did I climb in bed when I heard the rumbling. Which only means one thing.. a train is coming by!
It comes and goes and I hold my breath hoping that it doesn't wake Chase. It doesn't wake him thank goodness, but it did wake Kourtney! There is no way she will put herself back to sleep, and she is way loud when she cries. So, I go in to comfort her for a few minutes.
2:45 a.m. I usually fall asleep on the rocking chair, so I get back to bed 45 min. later than when I went in there.
3:00 a.m. Chase is up again! This time I know he can't want a bottle. So I give up and lay on the couch with him.
5:00 a.m. I hear Dustin getting into the shower. I go put Chase in bed, crawl into my bed and don't remember a thing from there (except for a strange dream I had).
7:30 a.m. Time to get up and get the kids ready for school.

Not too bad huh? All I can say is I get the best sleep after 5 a.m.

Update from Surgery

Everything went really well with the surgery. It turns out that they did have to open up his little hole some more. It was too constricted which can cause urine to back up. But, that's all fixed. He is a new man now! He came out of anesthesia much better this time as well. Things couldn't have gone better. :)

Surgery is scheduled

Chase's surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning at Primary Children's. He will be finally be having a circumcision. It is a little earlier this time which I am happy for. Hopefully things go a little better this time with the anesthesia. We'll be happy to be done with surgeries for awhile.

Hot Dogs?

Dustin and I had a good laugh over this. Chance doesn't care much if he goes to the BYU games or not, but if he knows he will get a hot dog, then he will go! This picture is so appropriate because here is Dustin standing up and cheering, Chance with a hot dog in his hand and grandpa Johnny sitting there looking on.
