Ouch!

Chase had his 3rd birthday on Tuesday and then on Wednesday he got his tonsils out. He did such a great job! The doctor wanted to keep him over night just to make sure that he would take fluids and his medicine. He did awsome! He slept most of the day of his surgery but was such a happy boy when he was awake. Miki and Jaidon had fun coming up to the hospital to visit him. The last picture is of him the next day. Chad stayed the night with him at the hospital so that I could be more comfortable (ya right!) When I got to the hospital this morning I found a very perked up Chase he was back to being himself. Chad said that the night went great and he didn't even wake up for pain meds! He is one tuff kid! I am so glad that this is all over with and now we just get to try and keep his heart rate down for the next 2 weeks. Let's just say that is going to be the hard part. As soon as we got the all clear from the doc they took off his monitors and the IV out and he was all over the place. I was afraid that he was going to crack his head open climbing on everything. He is such a sweet heart :)

Babies

Here are some pictures of the babies! We went and had a 3D Ultra Sound last weekend and it was really neat. Breslynn and Daxon would not cooperate so that we could get a full view of their faces. I was about 33 weeks, which is pretty late to have the 3D work with twins, but it was still worth it! The first picture is of Breslynns backside and feet. That is about all we could really get of her. She is in the perfect position for delivery...lets hope she stays that way! The next two are of the side of Daxons' face with his little hand up by his nose. We were able to see him rub his eyes and play with his ears! If we could of got him to put is arms down we would've been able to see his face, but he was rolled up so tightly in there he really didn't have anywhere for them to go. Breslynn is definitely stretched out more you can see her belly and thigh in the pics of Daxon. The last one is both of their heads right next to each other. It is so amazing to think that there are two of them! We went to the doc yesterday and everything is looking good! I am already measuring 40 weeks, ahhhhh!!! I will be 34 on Saturday, no wonder I feel like crap! My poor stomach is as hard as a rock and I truly wonder if they could break a rib with their kicks! We are praying that I do make it to 38 weeks, because we also found out that Chase needs to get his tonsils and adenoids out and the earliest they can do it is March 11th! We want to get it done before the babies so that I can give him all the attention and love he needs! I swear one of these days I will look back and be able to laugh about all this!

Yea Jaidon!

This past Saturday was Jaidon's first Tae Kwon Do tournament. He had alot of fun and did great! It was at his school and it was a little smaller then many of the tournaments that are out there, so it was a great one for him to try first. He took first in his form so he got a t-shirt that says "Champion" on the back, Jaidon thought that was way cool! We are so proud of him. He really does a great job and catches on really fast. We finally got his sparring gear so now he gets to beat his Dad up, way cool! Tonight was his first class and he loved it! He is such a boy! Chase informed me that he wants to be a "Tiny Tiger" and that tomorrow he is going to be a big boy and not wear diapers anymore (we have had a little regression the last little while with the potty thing). So we will have to see what happens in the morning! I will be thrilled if it works, I sooooo do not want to have three in diapers! I think I would have to take a second mortgage out on the house to pay for it!!:)This next video is of Miki and Chase rockin' out at the Holiday party later that night. They had so much fun dancing. Jaidon on the other hand sat on Ms. Harris' lap almost all night and talked with her. Let me give you a little insight on Ms. Harris. She is one of his instructors who is a college student in town and very cute! Hmmmm I wonder why Jaidon hung out with her all night!!! He has a thing for older women :)


Ok-I don't know how to get the video to show in real time....and help would be great!!

Christmas

I am finally posting some Christmas pictures!!! We had a great Christmas and were able to make it out to Southern Utah for a week, we loved seeing everyone! We left at about 1 o'clock on Christmas day and had hopes of driving straight through....yeah right! We stopped in Denver for the night so Chad could get some sleep and I could walk around. I was no help with the driving this time! We stopped every couple of hours so I could walk, I love being pregnant!!! We finally arrived in Cedar City on Friday evening and got to meet our newest Nephew Dawson for the first time!!! He is soooo cute! I am so glad we made it out so that we could see him before he grew up! Then the marathon started! Saturday we drove over to Kanab for our nieces baptism and surprised her, the cousins had no idea we were coming. We are so glad that we were able to be there on her special day! Next it was off to spend some time with my side of the family! We went to my sisters new beautiful home and got to meet my brothers Fiancee. We were a little worried I might be meeting her at the wedding (fingers crossed that we make it!). The only bummer part of the trip was that we only got to see My mom and Dad Saturday evening and Sunday. They had to go home Sunday night after dinner :( We sure wish we could of spent more time with them. It was so nice spending time with everyone and just hanging out! The kids had a blast with their cousins and playing in the snow. They got spoiled rotten as always and it was hard to come home and say good bye to everyone, at least we know that we will be seeing many of them in a few months when the twins arrive!

Twin Update-I am as big as a house, but the babies are doing great! They are about three pounds each! Holy Cow! Everything looks good and we are on the count down-ten weeks to go....or less hopefully! Now we just need to get everything ready for them......

Snow Day

What a week we have had at the Shelley house!!!! It is quite a funny story now that it is all over, but I was worried I wouldn't survive it!!! Let me start from the beginning.....last Thursday Jaidon came home from school early because he was not feeling well. On Friday he still had a horrible cough and was extremely tired. On Friday afternoon Grandpa Shelley and Uncle Matt showed up with the most beautiful Bunk beds for the boys. Uncle JD made them and he did a amazing job...I will post a pic when I get the beds made! So we were all excited to hang out and visit with them. On Saturday Jaidon decided that on top of having a cough that he needed to get a flu bug too! Oh what fun! Jaidon got to spend the day bonding with all the men in the house while Miki and I were off to the church to get ready for the ward Christmas party. Although we had a lot to do it was nice to get out of the house and spend some time with just Miki, she was a great help! Sunday comes and Jaidon is still not doing so hot, so once again Miki and I leave the boys to bond and head to church. Miki feeling like she is missing out on the boy bonding and decides that she wants to get the flu bug like Jaidon while our Bishop was here calling Chad to be the Young Men's President! AHHH!:) Monday comes and the Miki and Jaidon are doing better but not 100% so they stay home from school. Tuesday was when the above pictures where taken....not sick today....School was canceled do to the 4+ inches we received that day. Wednesday comes and we are getting them ready for school and Jaidon is not wanting to go, says his tummy hurts. We get him up and are trying to help him get going.....nope he decided that he wasn't quite over the flu. That was fun to clean up!!! So off Miki goes to school and I take care of Jaidon and Chase. Chase decided that he was sick in the middle of the night! Oh the fun! The day only gets better from here....Chad calls me after he is done with surgery to inform me that he now has the bug too!! I was so excited (sarcasm!!!) Well poor Chad comes home and is complaining that his stomach really hurts and he thinks he might need to go to the doctor. This is where I get the "Wife of the Year" award... I tell him that he is just fine and he should just eat some apple sauce and lay down he just has what the kids have had. Needless to say the applesauce did not help and at about 3 he convinced me to take him to urgent care. I was not to thrilled about it. So I load the sick boys in the car and DROP him off so I can be home when Miki gets home. Soon after she gets home Chad calls and says he needs me to come and take him to get a CT scan. What!!! So I leave Miki and Jaidon at home to go take him, Urgent Care doesn't want him to wait so they take him to the CT place! They are afraid his appendix is going to burst....great wife huh! Well we find out that his appendix is fine but the fatty tissue around the upper side of the appendix is inflamed(or something like that) so they give him a shot of pain meds and an antibiotic to take care of it. Well finally on Thursday everyone is feeling better so off to school with Miki and Jaidon, Chad gets to take a day off work but is feeling much better and I get to finally go out to get things ready for the school class parties. After a morning of shopping we check the messages and WHAT??? Miki and Jaidon are coming home early and school is cancelled on Friday!! Love Ice storms!!! It wasn't to bad, but poor Jaidon will be out of school for almost three weeks after Christmas break! What a week! The funny thing is the above story is the Cliff Notes version!! We are all healthy now.....except for me feeling horribly pregnant already! I can only imagine what the weeks ahead have to offer!
