Sorry I didn't have a chance to let everyone know when Owen's surgery would be, but the doctor called us on Tuesday saying they could either do his tubes on Thursday or in late March! We chose Thursday so we didn't have to battle another 3 more ear infections until then, so needless to say we didn't have much time to prepare for this! We went in at 6:00 on Thursday morning to have the procedure done. It was so cute cause they made us take him back and put on a little hospital gown on him before his surgery. He looked adorable in it! He had all the nurses in love with him in the pre-op waiting area. He was running all around, dancing and flirting with all the nurses since we had to wait 1.5 hours before his surgery started. The saddest part was at 7:30am when we had to hand Owen over to the anesthesiologist to have them put him to sleep and start his surgery. He was reaching and crying for us and of course I lost it. I spent my time in the waiting room crying my eyes out while Brandon kept reassuring me that God was right their with him on the operating table. They called us back about 15 minutes later to go see Owen in recovery, it was a super quick procedure. He did rather well waking up out of his anesthesia. He cried for about 5 minutes because it was such a strange feeling and he had no clue where he was. We stayed with him in recovery for about half an hour and then they released him to go home. It was a long draining & emotional morning, especially for a prego lady, but everything went great! We brought him home, put him down for a nap to wear off the medicine and he was pretty much back to normal by the time he woke up. My heart really goes out to those people with sick children in the hospital. We are truly blessed this was such a minor procedure, but even this drained me emotionally, it breaks my heart to pieces seeing sick children, but it really hurts when its your own. The reassurance of God's promise in Philippians 4:6 & 7 really guided me through this entire process, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, be prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to the God. And the Peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ." Thanks everyone for all your prayers!
Here we are getting his gown on him. 
All dressed and ready to go.
His cute little ankle bracelet.
You don't normally see patients so happy to be in the hospital!
Keeping himself entertained.
The hospital staff was so nice and gave us lots of things to play with while we were waiting.
Here he is in the recovery room with his oxygen tube. He looks super out-of-it, poor baby. He sure loved his oxygen and cried super hard when they had to take it away

If one wants up, so does the other! Boy, my hands are gonna be full when the next one comes. O yea, Abby's mom is expecting another baby too six weeks after me! It is so fun having each other to raise our kids together.
Here they are shooting hoops!
Now on to racing cars on the tile.
Then peek-a-boo in the tent.
And finally a little quiet time before bed. Here they are watching an Elmo movie for 15 minutes before we laid them both down. So cute!
This past Thursday Owen had his first appointment with and ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) Specialist to discuss his excessive ear infections. I guess it is procedure to do a hearing test on all their patients and Owen loved it. They made him sit in the little room and they played different sounds to see if he would try and look to see where they were coming from. He thought it was so much fun and was so proud of himself every time the lady would tell him "Good Job Owen!" Anyway, he passed his hearing test with flying colors; however, they are recommending that he get tubes put in his ears. It is a super simple procedure that takes about 5 min. They will insert these tiny little tubes in his ears and that will help his ears to drain out fluid better. I am a little nervous about them having to put him to sleep, but I know it is the best thing for him and it will be nice not to have him on antibiotics every month. I have talked to so many people who had to get them for their kids and they all highly recommend that I get it done for him. I will keep you all posted when the procedure will be done. Please pray for my little guy and his mommy to stay sane during the process!
Yummy! If you have never been out for afternoon tea you must try it. The experience is so much fun, the atmosphere is great and the food is delicious, and our waitress even talked with an English accent. They served this Raspberry Chocolate Truffle Tea that was AMAZING and the food was nothing short of amazing either. Wow, you can really tell I am pregnant with all this food talk!
This was our amazing food. 
Since we let my mom off easy without a big celebration and making fun of her new age, we had everyone wear tea hats! It was a lot of fun dressing up in our hats and I am sure we all looked like silly old ladies out for afternoon tea.
Here is my Mom and her BFF Sandra.

Here is Owen, Owen and Abby in the waiting room, waiting for us to pay.
Owen walking on the tight-rope!
This jungle gym thing was pretty fun, but once you go in there is only one way to come out and it is quite a long walk up and down, up and down!
See what I mean. Up and down!
Owen and Abby wrestling! Too funny. 
This was hilarious. Abby was insisting that Owen should give her a "piggy" back ride. Owen kept looking at her like she was crazy and she should really get off his back! These two crack me up.
As you can tell by both of their facial expressions, they had so much fun!
Here is Owen asking me for help by signing. It was a serious work out trying to get myself and Owen up the ladder to go down the slide, and of course Owen wanted to go again and again and again.
Here is Owen rolling the dough for the Monkey Bread.
And here he is throwing the dough into the cinnamon-sugar mixture!
He loves to point down and say "pee-pee" too funny!
Seriously, look at how happy he is. If you say "Owen do you need to go potty?" he darts off to the bathroom
