Our Busy Day

4:30 am- We started our day really early today. Eden had to be at the hospital at 6:00 am to check in for her procedure, so we had to leave the house at 5:00am to get there in time.

7:30 am- They took Eden back to put in her ear tubes. She did exceptionally well and only cried for a few seconds, which made it so much easier for mommy and daddy to leave her with the nurses.

7:40 am- The doctor came in and told us that the procedure had gone well. We couldn't believe how quickly it had gone. He said she still had fluid on her left ear, which made us very glad we had gone ahead and followed through with getting tubes.

7:50 am- We went into the recovery room to get Eden. She was very groggy and still wasn't sure about what was happening.

8:00 am- We left the hospital. From start to finish, the entire procedure had only lasted 30 minutes.

Waiting for the procedure to start

10:00 am-We played outside for a little while. Parker was so excited to discover that they have started running the fountain in the pond behind our house again. When we first moved in a year ago, they ran it every day. Last winter, they stopped and have not started it again since. We were just talking the other day about how we wished they would run it again. Hopefully it will be back on again tomorrow.

12:00 pm- After lunch, we decided to turn Parker's crib into a toddler bed. We have been wanting to do this for a while, but have just never gotten around to it. He was so excited and spent lots of time playing and reading in it all afternoon. Unfortunately, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep and the nap time that mommy and daddy so desperately needed was quickly forgotten.

4:00 pm- After nap, Parker went and got his haircut. He did a great job sitting still while Mickey cut his hair. We always take our portable DVD player and let him watch Little Einsteins during his haircuts, and he usually does great.
6:30 pm- After dinner, we took the kids to Dairy Queen for some ice cream. Mommy and the new baby were really craving a Blizzard and we hated to leave Parker and Eden out on the fun. As usual, they loved their treats and ate every bit of it.

8:00 pm- Bedtime!!!! A very tired Mommy and Daddy were very ready to see bedtime arrive. We had a very fun day as a family and were so glad that Eden felt so good after her procedure. We were worried about how she was going to feel when we got home, but she was a champ and you never would have known that she had been through anything today. We are looking forward to a fun weekend together as we celebrate Mommy's and Aunt Emily's birthdays.
