Mother's Day
I woke up to breakfast in bed made by Carley. I got buttered toast, ice water, frozen blueberries, and sliced bananas, all served in a tea set on a platter. It was very cute.
Then I got a handmade card from my little Tay
And a poster from Carley
And an awesome long board skateboard from Jimmy! He knows me well that I would rather him buy a awesome used skateboard than I would have flowers.
Then we took a family picture at church
And rode around the church parking lot after dinner

Bubs
He loves playing in the dishwasher. It's one of his favorite things to pull out all the silverware.
He loves to play outside with the hose
And just play in the back yard. Lately I have been doing the girls' homework out there because he plays happily out there while we do the homework.
Bubs playing at green walls.

I had been dreading this day for a while. I am very grateful that we have medical insurance that has made getting this surgery possible. That being said, I knew this day might be coming for a while and I have always dreaded the possibility of Bubs having to fast for a surgery. It seems to go against my nature as a mother. Since the time these little guys are born, a mother thinks about their food intake. I was not looking forward to denying him that.
Luckily Jimmy was able to take the morning off to help. We all got up early that morning, got everything ready, jimmy took Bubbas down to the hospital while I got the girls off to school. I was afraid that Bubs was going to be very uncomfortable and would be crawling all over me trying to nurse, so that's why we planned it that way. Jimmy said he asked for water a few times, but that he did pretty well otherwise. 
When I showed up at the hospital, Bubbas was playing with toys and was distracted. He tried to lift my shirt a few times, but he did really well. Then, they had me change into the white jumpsuit so I could go back with him while they put him under. He didn't like the mask they put on his face to give him the gas and he was crying, but then his cry got weaker and weaker and his little eyes closed. It was kinda creepy watching him do that because his eyes were rolled back, but were partially open, and he was floppy and his eye lids looked blue. He looked like he dies in some ways. But I was happy he didn't have to be intibated, and was glad he didn't have to have an IV. The anesthesiologist was super sweet to him and said that he even had dr nagamine as his resident.
They told me when he was done with his surgery and told me that they suctioned out a lot of thick mucus from his ears and placed the tubes. I went to the recovery room when he woke up. He was really floppy and smelled like the gas.
He couldn't stand up even though he wanted to. He kept squirming like he wanted me to set him down after we left the recovery room, but when I did, he was so dizzy and floppy that he couldn't. Even after getting home, it took him a while to be able to walk and stand.

I'm glad everything went well with this little angel's surgery.
