Julian and Alex

Julian has had a hernia/hydrocele for a couple years now that we have been watching and putting off. We had the surgery scheduled once while we were in Canada and had to cancel when I went on bedrest with the twins. Life has been pretty crazy since then, but we finally have followed up with a pediatric urologist here yesterday. He could tell it has been there awhile and definitely suggested that we go ahead and get it scheduled soon. I'm waiting on the scheduler to call so we can get this started and hoping to wait until after he finishes school. Julian is a little older now and knows that this is something that needs to be fixed, so hopefully it won't be too tramatic on him. Chris and I really liked the surgeon, so we pray Julian will do fine and not be too painful.

We have also gone all week with Alex not sleeping in his bed. I had to resort to buying him a bed yesterday that we weren't prepared to do that yet. Chris has slept on the floor a couple nights on the air mattress next to him and really is ready for Alex to have a real mattress. We are trying to keep him in his room though so he won't be used to sleeping with us. We're still hoping to have one child that sleeps in his own room.
